from

There are 3 geographical groups of 5 and the top club from each group plus the best runner-up ( decided by points then net run rate ) go through to the semi-final.
If both teams lose the same amount of wickets the team with the best runs per wicket rate after 10 overs win.
All games have to be a minimum of 10 overs and any game that cannot be completed goes to a bowl out.
The method for working out reduced targets is to subtract the full run rate for every over lost in the second innings.
In Group B ( the Rossendale Valley group ) are Bacup, Edenfield, Haslingden, Ramsbottom and Rawtenstall.
In Group C ( the Burnley and Yorkshire area group ) are Burnley, Colne, Lowerhouse, Nelson and Todmorden.
In the Cup's inaugural year it was a knockout tournament involving 12 clubs as Enfield and Todmorden did not compete.
In 2006 it was a 14 club tournament with the same format as today except the Rossendale Valley group only had 4 clubs in it.
