Update! There are only 32 slots in the cup, but up to 64 players can register in advance for the cup. Check-in (read below) will be first come, first serve.

Important! We are using a check-in system for the cup to minimise the number of no shows and ensure that no spots are wasted. This means that you can reserve your place in the cup now, but you must check-in again between 3.30pm and 3.50pm to confirm your place. If you do not, then your place will be free for anyone else to take in the last 10 minutes.
