Entry NOT compulsory so you need to tell me if you want to enter the draw.

Games drawn out of the hat eg Dodgers (5) v Gritters (17) - Gritters start with 12 runs on the board
Also
Cap of 5 runs allowed per inning for the teams in the higher division. So if a PD team is playing a D1 or D2 team the PD can only score 5 runs each inning. If a D1 team is playing a D2 team the D1 team can only score 5 runs per inning.
Should make things interesting.
Full Version: ESL Handicap Cup 2010
Come on folks, 5 out of 9 teams entered so far are Premier Division teams, surely there are other teams out there that want to take them down a peg or 2 
For Example - Space Cadets Vs Rally Caps, with the Caps starting 19 runs down & with a 5 run limit per innings - even with no runs from the Cadets it would take the Caps 4 innings to get in the lead, assuming they maxed out their first 4 innings. Throw in folks stepping up & nerves playing a part and you're looking at some possibly intriguing games.....
So get yer entries in quick & make the most of your chance to learn from and/or embarrass some of the ESL teams you'd not normally get a chance to play !
Obviously, the Forgers will be up for some embarrassment, only question is on which side the red faces will be

Sounds intriguing, but this is the first I've heard of this, and entries close in a little over 24 hours....
What's the format? Straight knock-out?
When are the matches? Throughout the season?
How much?

Email out to captains on 22nd April but I am sure Liz would extend the deadline if it meant more entries. Format can only be decided once numbers known but it has usually followed a straight knockout route. Who cares when if it gets you some extra games, the cost won't be much, if anything. Come on in the waters fine...

well, there's always the rematch
(Actually I think you've confused Div 1 with the Premier Division
)
Just wondering when these matches are set to begin?
