JOMA South West Challenge Cup

Main article: South West Challenge Cup

The South West Challenge Cup is a pre-season friendly tournament in North Devon. Rules are different from main first team football in that n the group stage matches, each half lasts 40 minutes, before reverting to the standard 45 minutes for the knockout stages. The tournament features an unconventional points system through the group stages, which the tournament organisers state is "designed to encourage attacking football".

• Each winning side gets the standard three points for a win.
• Losing teams receive one point if they lose without scoring, and two if they lose but score.
• There are no draws; if teams are all square at full-time the game goes straight to a penalty shootout to determine the winner.
