The competition is of a straightforward knockout format and commences early in the Scottish football season. The final usually takes place in October or November at a neutral stadium located close to the two competing clubs.
The current holders of the trophy are Ross County, who beat Clyde on penalties after a 1-1 draw at McDiarmid Park in the final in November 2006.
