The Senior Vase is currently open to all club sides based in the historic county of Middlesex not eligible for the Senior Cup or Senior Vase, typically playing between tiers 9 (Herts/Middlesex 1) and tiers 10 (Herts/Middlesex 2) of the English rugby union league system. The format is a knockout cup with a first round, semi-finals and a final to be held at one of the finalist's home ground between March–June (although final dates can vary drastically).[1]

    gollark: Only if you're 100 light years away.
    gollark: Galaxies are big, so possibly hundreds of thousands, more if it's further awya.
    gollark: You're already doing it, which is very convenient.
    gollark: Well, yes, but you can do that now.
