Many of the teams who have already applied to enter our 2013 season have indicated that they would like to take part in the Knock Out Cup competition, which will run alongside the main league programme.
The Knock Out Cup gives teams the potential opportunity to play other teams that they wouldn't normally face during a normal league season and also will help teams prepare themselves should they get to the League Play-Offs, as they will have then experienced ''sudden death'' matches, as there can be no drawn matches in the Cup, exactly like the Play-Offs themselves.
(Please note that as the Cup draw is completely random, you could yet be drawn against a team from your own division, we cannot guarantee otherwise).
As we have 27 teams already proffering their willingness to compete, we will also run a Plate competition as well, whereby all the First Round losers in the Cup, will get a second bite of the cherry by then being placed into a knock-out Plate with all the other First Round losers.
This should mean (excluding any teams that could get awarded a bye due to numbers), that all teams should get a minimum of two knock-out matches, ie 1 Cup then 1 Plate or 2 Cup (if you win your First Round match).
