All 16 (sixteen) clubs currently competing in the DSTV Premiership qualify for the competition.
All ties will be decided by a knock-out system.
Clubs will play each other in a single match. The club scoring the most goals in the match will qualify for the next round.
If both clubs score the same number of goals, extra time of 15 (fifteen) minutes each way will be played. If the score is level after extra time, penalty kicks will be taken to determine the winner according to the Laws of the Game.
