Mode edit
The competition is open for all member clubs of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern State FA playing in the 3. Liga, Regionalliga Nord, NOFV-Oberliga Nord, Verbandsliga Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Landesligas. Additionally, the regional cup winners of the previous season are also qualified. Reserve teams are not permitted to compete anymore. Up until the quarter-finals, the teams from lower leagues have home advantage against teams from a higher league. From the quarter-finals onwards, this is not the case. In case of a draw after regular time, extra time is played and, if this remains inconclusive, the game is decided by a penalty shoot-out. The cup winners automatically qualify for the first round of the German Cup.[2]
