2024 winners: Mike Fawcett, Denis King, Michael Kaltz, Jim Niblett and James Rogers
The Humble Cup is the HBA premier championship for teams. The competition comprises a qualifying round followed by a knockout competition. Participants require HBA Membership with Hertfordshire as the County of Primary Allegiance.
The winning team will be invited to represent Hertfordshire in the Pachabo Cup and if they wish supplement the team with additional members at that stage, this must meet the EBU’s requirements for entry to the Pachabo. If that team is unable to accept the offer within 14 days of the Humble Cup Final the HBA will select a team from the two finalists according to the procedure set out by the EBU.
A team can have up to six members over the course of the competition. When a player is added to an existing team, that player must not have previously played in the knockout stages for a different team.
If you would like assistance in forming a team, please contact the Tournament Secretary at hbatournamentsec@gmail.com who will be able to put you in touch with any others who are also looking.
Teams who did not make it through the qualifying round are eligible to play in the Humble Plate, which, provided there is sufficient interest, will be run either as a knockout competition or a combination of mini leagues and a final, depending on the number of entries. Note that teams who do not take part in the Cup qualifying round may may still compete in the Plate by entering directly - click here.. for details.
