Competition Rules
The Federation Vase is a knock-out competition open to all county clubs not eligible for the Middlesex Bowl, in Herts/Middx 1 and below, including club 1st XVs playing in the Middlesex or Herts/Middx Merit Tables. There is no seeding.
The competition is played to Middlesex Cup rules with one exception; players do not have to be league registered, just bona fide club members.
The home team is responsible for arranging the referee. Teams may enter squads of up to 21but must five players capable of playing in the front row.
