The tournament, along with the national club competition, is aligned with the ECB Premier Leagues and to enter the tournament you must be a part of an ECB Premier League or invited to take part by one.
The early rounds are organised by each of the 32 ECB Premier leagues with a requirement to put a winner forward to the national rounds by the first week in June.
All rounds are played in 3 or 4 team one-day competitions, where either 3 teams play in a round-robin to determine a winner or 4 teams play a knockout. Once the 32 Premier League winners are determines the competition hosts 8 regional finals, these are ; South East Area, South West Area, South Area, East Midlands Area, West Midlands Area, North West Area, North Area and North East Area.[4] The 8 winners of these knockouts go to a semi final played at 2 venues, where the 2 winners of this knock out play in a final, traditionally in September. In previous years the finals day has been a 4 team knockout but it has since been changed to a straight final.
