The two best third-placed teams will also qualify for quarter-finals (if two teams finish on the same points then the team with the better scoring difference will qualify, If the teams are on the same scoring difference then the team with the greater `scoring for` will qualify, if both clubs have the same scoring for then both teams will play-off the following Wednesday evening to decide who qualifies).
The bottom team in each group will play-off to see who is relegated.
All knockout games up to the county finals will be "finish on the day" (a period of 2x10mins and if still level to be followed by a period 2x5mins, if teams are still level the game will be decided by a penalty shootout).
County finals will have one period of extra time, should the teams still be level then there will be a replay with the date to be decided by the CCC.
A Full revised copy of our Championship Regulations will be circulated to clubs in advance of a county board meeting later this month for clubs to accept the proposed changes due to Covid19.
