LEAGUE TEAM HANDICAP CUP COMPETITION  2019 -2020

 

The competition continues as per previous seasons' format.

 

The Handicap Cup First Round (w/c 4 November) will involve all teams, seeded 1 to 32, based on league positions (from the top of the Premier division  to the bottom of division 3) at the time the draw is made. The matches will consist of 1 v 17 / 2 v 18 / 3 v 19 / 4 v 20 / 5 v 21 / 6 v 22 / 7 v 23 / 8 v 24 / 9 v 25 / 10 v 26 / 11 v 27  12 v 28 / 13 v 29 / 14 v 30 / 15 v 31 / 16 v 32.

A draw will be performed to determine the home and away teams for each fixture. The lesser ranked team will receive 172 points (16 league positions x 10.75) handicap in ALL matches – except see note below. The draw for this round will be based on the league tables after the w/c 21 October round of matches.

 

Next, the Handicap Cup Second Round (w/c 25 November) will involve the 16  winning teams from above drawn at random, with a maximum handicap equivalent to a 26 league position differential. The handicap for the lower ranked team will be 10.75 points per league position. Similarly, the Handicap ‘Plate’ First Round will involve the 16 losing teams from above drawn at random. The losing teams from this round are eliminated.   

 

The eight winning teams from each competition will then progress to the Handicap Cup Quarter Finals and Handicap ‘Plate’ Quarter Finals (w/c 27 January), matches to be drawn at random, with a maximum handicap equivalent to a 26 league position differential. The handicap for the lower ranked team will be 10.75 points per league position.

 

The 4 winning teams from each competiton will then progress to the Semi Finals (w/c 17 February).
