Overview
This season's cup competition began with the first round, which was played on the week-end of the 11 September 1949. The competition was to be completed on Easter Monday, 10 April 1950, with the final, which, since 1937, was traditionally held at the former Wankdorf Stadium in Bern. As the final ended in a draw a replay was required and this was held on Ascension Thursday 18 May. The clubs from the 1949–50 Swiss 1. Liga were given a bye for the first round, they joined the competition in the second round on the week-end of 2 October. The clubs from this season's Nationalliga A (NLA) and from this season's Nationalliga B (NLB) were given byes for the first two rounds. These teams joined the competition in the third round, which was played on the week-end of 30 October.
The matches were played in a knockout format. In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. In the event of a draw at the end of extra time, a replay was foreseen and this was played on the visiting team's pitch. If the replay ended in a draw after extra time, a toss of a coin would establish the team that qualified for the next round.[1]
