The pool stage consists of three pool of four teams each playing home and away matches.  Pool matches ran from September through to December, on weekends when there is no RFU Championship league fixtures.  In the inaugural season, the RFU had set out the pools in a regional format to encourage derby games, but this year’s competition format was more loosely structured.The top two sides in each pool, plus the two best third placed teams, progressed to the knockout stage, with the best ranked sides getting home advantage in the quarter-finals. The semi-finals and final were cancelled.[1]Participating teams and locations[edit]TeamGroundCapacityCity\/AreaAmpthillDillingham Park3,000Ampthill, BedfordshireBedford BluesGoldington Road5,000
