Assuming the previous year’s finalists are in the draw they will be seeded in each of the knockouts.

Home clubs/players are reminded that is it the rules of the competition to allow the players of the Away Team to play a practice round at a rate equal to or less than the members’ introduced guest rate, prior to the match date.

The home team/player is expected to offer at least three mid-week dates to their opponents to play the match. These dates must be offered in a timely manner, if none of these dates are acceptable to the visitors and no other mutually acceptable date is agreed, then both teams will be disqualified.
