What is the format?
40 overs per side, 8 overs per bowler with matches starting at 1pm.
How much is it to enter?
The only requirement for entry is a subscription to The Cricketer. Subscriptions can be purchased here
Do I need to supply umpires/teas/balls?
Yes, teas and balls should be supplied by clubs throughout. Clubs must appoint one umpire each per round until the quarter-finals where The Cricketer takes over sourcing ECB-accredited umpires onwards at its own expense.
What if I have a query about one of my players’ eligibility?
Please email nvc@thecricketer.com before the start of season to check the eligibility of a player.
Are any travel expenses available?

What should I do if I have a query about an opposition player?
