After a year away the challenge Cup is back
Teams come from Championship League 1 League 2 Top 4 highland league Top 4 lowland league Premiership 'B' teams
Round 1 (regionalised) Premiership B teams + Scottish Lowland Football League + Scottish Highland Football League + Scottish League 2 + Scottish League 1 (bottom 6 clubs) = 36 teams / 18 ties / 18 progress to Round 2
Round 2 (regionalised) 18 x Round 1 winners + Scottish League 1 (top 4 clubs) + Scottish Championship = 32 teams / 16 ties / 16 progress to Round 3
Round 3 16 x Round 2 winners = 16 teams / 8 ties / 8 progress to Quarter Final
Quarter-finals 8 x Round 3 winners = 8 teams / 4 ties / 4 progress to Semi Final
Semi-finals 4 x Quarter-Final winners = 4 teams / 2 ties / 2 progress to Final
Final 2 x Semi-Final winners
The full list of dates is:
• Round 1 – midweek of 10 & 11 August 2021 • Round 2 – weekend of 4 & 5 September 2021 • Round 3- weekend of 9 & 10 October 2021 • Quarter-Finals – midweek of 30 November & 1 December 2021 • Semi-Finals – midweek of 1 & 2 March 2022 • Final – weekend of 2/3 April 2022
Slight change to the format,
Previously it included 2 teams from teams from the other home nations and Scottish League teams didn't enter till round 2, was just the colts and Scottish non league teams
Basically we are in a round earlier, hints of trying to get the 'B' teams further in the competition?

Is it still the Caramel Wafer Cup, or does it have a new bullshit moniker de-jour?

SPFL and Trust. Two words that don't go together!
Crap cup past its sell by date. Maybe just leave it to the Colts and Highland and Lowland leagues to fight it out seeing as they love each other so much!

Yeah. Revamped for the arrival of the environment conference. It's now a hybrid!
