Format
The format of the ECB National Club Twenty20 is a straight knockout competition. The preliminary rounds are internally organised by the ECB Premier leagues and a few other minor leagues. The winners of each league participate in a further knockout competition to determine eight 'Area' winners. These areas, based geographically, are; South East Area, South West Area, South Area, East Midlands Area, West Midlands Area, North West Area, North Area and North East Area. Following this, the Area winners participate in national quarter finals where the winners advance to the 'Finals Day'. Finals Day contains two semi-finals and the final on the same day at a neutral, First Class Cricket Ground. The ECB National Club Twenty20 Finals Day is traditionally held towards the end of September.
