Format

13 teams will contest the Hotel Kilmore Intermediate Football Championship.

2 teams will play in a Preliminary Round, the winner will enter Round 1 while the loser will enter round 3. 12 teams made up of the Preliminary Round winner and the 11 teams already through to Round 1 will compete in Round 1 with 6 winners qualifying for the quarter final. The 6 losers from Round 1 will be drawn against each other in Rounds 2. The 3 round 2 winners and the loser from the preliminary round will be drawn against each other with the eventual two winners qualifying for the quarter final (Round 4). From Round 4 on (quarter finals) the competition will be “knock out”. Quarter Final/Semi-final pairings will be based on an open draw.

The Preliminary Round & Round 1 are Championship proper while Rounds 2 & 3 are “back door” Rounds
