City of Glasgow Cup:
2011-12 Competition format

Because of the support and commitment offered by all five of Glasgow’s clubs, the tournament from season 2010-11 is no longer a knockout competition. Instead, the u17 tournament is played in a ‘round robin’ format with the two highest placed teams competing in the Glasgow Cup Final at the specified venue in April or May.

This represents 10 rounds of fixtures.
