This year's Conker Cup Tournament at a glance: the key dates, the format, how entry works and where the rules are published.
The Conker Cup is invitational. Applying registers interest; it is not a guaranteed place. There are no qualifying rounds and no ranking points. After applications close, the organisers extend invitations from applicants, alongside automatic invitations for winners of the sport's other Majors: Peckham Conker Club, Annapolis Conker Club and the World Conker Championships.
The tournament is played as a straight knockout, with optional practice rounds for entrants who want them.
The full rules are published on The Game: lace length, the Triple Strike Pattern, the Bonkers Minute and every other point of Tournament Conkers play.
