FAQs
- Why does the Hawke Cup use a holder system?
The holder system creates ongoing competition throughout each season. Challengers compete against the current holder, with successful challenges resulting in immediate holder transfers.
- What does a successful defence mean?
A successful defence occurs when the current holder defeats a challenger. The holder retains the cup and faces the next scheduled challenger in the season.
- How are seasonal records maintained?
Records track the starting holder, all defence matches played, and the final holder at the season’s end. This data documents holder transitions and defence outcomes for each season.
- Why do some seasons include rescheduled matches?
Weather events, pandemics, or other disruptions can delay scheduled challenges. Rescheduled matches may occur in later seasons but are recorded under their originally scheduled season.
- What information does the number of defences provide?
The defence count shows how many challenge matches occurred in a season. Higher counts indicate more scheduled challenges, while lower counts reflect reduced seasonal schedules or disruptions.
