Q: For how long must a player have been signed before they can play in a cup match?

A: To be eligible to play in any of our cup competitions, a player must have been registered with their team at least 7 days before the date of all first round games. For second and subsequent rounds the player must have been registered at least 14 days. For a final all players must have been registered at least 28 days before the date of the final.

To confuse matters slightly, if a cup game was postponed and rearranged for a future date, the original date of the game would still count for player qualification.
