Hello all,

The 2024 Cup is now open for registration. As last year, the event will start in August 2023. Registration will close on July 19th. 

In addition the clubs already registered for the cup will be automatically entered into the 2024 Open league set to start in December. So if you are already one of the teams in the CC24 cup there is no need to register again for the Open League CC24. Registration for the teams so far not registered must take place no later than 30 November.

I think we will have between 40 and 46 entries so...

The last 16 in the 2023 cup will get a bye to round 2. Depending on entries further byes might be granted to teams by using their finishing position in the 2022 league table. The remaining teams will enter in round 1. Round 1 due to start on August 7th 2023.

The minimum number of players per matches will remain the same as last year. In round one the minimum will be 6. In all other rounds the minimum will be 8. 
Once a player plays for a team in the 2024 Cup that will be their designated team for all competitions in 2024 including the rated limited leagues eg U1600.

Please comment below to register your team including the contact admin.
