# 2012–13 CHA Cup

The 2012–13 Cornwall Hockey Association Cup will be the 2012–13 season of the Cornwall Hockey Association Knockout Cup, known as the Cornwall Cup or CHA Cup. The CHA Cup is the flagship competition organised by the Cornwall Hockey Association, contested by senior male and female hockey teams in the county of Cornwall.
Entries for the competition were confirmed in August 2012, with 35 (of a possible 36) teams representing all 12 clubs eligible to compete in the competition. The competition will begin in September 2012 with the Ladies Cup, Preliminary round and culminate with the Ladies Cup final in April 2013 at Penzance HC. Truro HC and Newquay HC are the respective defending champions of the Men's and Ladies Cups.

## Format

Both the Men's Cup and Ladies Cup are to be contested as knockout competitions, with a single defeat eliminating the losing team. A team which is defeated in, or prior to, Round 1 of the Cup competition will qualify for the 2012–13 Cornwall Hockey Association Plate.
2012–13 will see the draws for all rounds of the competitions made prior to the start of the tournament, thereby allowing teams to analyse their potential opponents in any subsequent rounds.
