How It Works

Group Stage

Everyone's drawn into groups and plays a round robin within their group — races to 3 legs, points for wins.

The Split

The top half of each group's table advances into the Handley Cup knockout bracket, the bottom half into the Parson's Plate — everyone plays on regardless of how the groups go.

Knockouts

Straight knockout from there in both brackets — lose once and you're out, all the way to the Cup Final and the Plate Final.

Trophies & Raffle

Cup and Plate champions lift the trophies, plus a high checkout raffle and bonus games to keep the day going.
