Scottish Cup and Plate 2024

The Scottish Cup is one of the SBU's longest running competitions. Teams of four compete in a knock out competition.

We are trying to encourage as many games as possible to be played face to face but there is still an option for online. See the new Conditions of Contest.

Those teams knocked out of the Cup prior to the quarter finals are eligible to take part in the Plate. This is also a knock out competition. It is played mainly online until the final. This means that all teams that enter the Scottish Cup are guaranteed at least two matches.

Note to teams from the Highlands: we are re-introducing the Highland qualifying section. The Highland teams will be drawn together for the first couple of rounds. Highland teams should enter by contacting Tim Wickens.

Entry £48. All entrants are guaranteed at least two matches.

The Scottish Cup is open to SBU members only.
