In a break from tradition, the FA officially renamed the stage the 'Quarter-finals', the name that had longŞablon:Not in source been used colloquially to describe what was previously called the Sixth Round Proper.[18] Changes to previous rules meant that tied matches would have gone to extra-time and potentially a penalty shootout at this stage rather than to a replay, and that a fourth substitute would have been permitted in extra time.[18] The round included Lincoln City from Level 5, who became the first non-league club to reach the quarter-finals since 1914.[19]
