* On the 17th Oct 2018 the Committee decided that the 3 draw rule will be extended to 5 draws, however it will not come into affect until after the 2019 draw. Therefore the 3 draw rule will continue for the 2018 & 2019 draws and the 5 draw rule will commence for the 2020 draw and onwards.
** On the 29th June 2020 the Committee decided (by email vote) that you must be a member of EA (via LR rather than another club obviously) if you are to be entered in the draw. The vote was 9 in favour, 1 against and 2 abstains.
