Format - effectively two regional competitions are run, North and South
with the winners meeting in a Millennium Stadium final. The Football League
teams are split North and South, and seperately the invited Football Conference
teams are split regionally, which can result in some anomalies. Two League teams
from each area, drawn at random receive byes through the first round.
