The State Knockout Cup, formerly known as the Mirabella Cup for sponsorship reasons, was a football (soccer) knockout-cup competition held between men's clubs in Victoria, Australia, organised by the Football Federation Victoria. The competition included clubs from all levels of the Victorian Football Pyramid, with the exception of the two A-League clubs, Melbourne Victory and Melbourne Heart, who were been prevented from entering by the national governing body, Football Federation Australia.〔(), FFA order Victory, Heart out of Mirabella Cup.〕 It was preceded by the Dockerty Cup. In 2014 FFV went back to naming its state-wide cup competition the Dockerty Cup. The final champions were Green Gully. ==Format== The State Knockout Cup was a knockout competition, open to all Football Federation Victoria (FFV) men's clubs and, initially, to the two Victorian Hyundai A-League clubs, Melbourne Heart FC and Melbourne Victory FC.〔(), Official announcement by Football Federation Victoria.〕 The stage one of the cup was a knockout stage for Victoria's amateur clubs, and takes place within the FFV’s Zone structure (8 metropolitan and 4 regional Zones). Victoria's semi-professionals leagues, the Alanic Victorian Premier League and State League One clubs, joined the competition in the second stage. Heart and Victory were initially planned to enter in the quarter final stage before the FFA's reversal of permission for the A-League club's participation.〔(), FFA order Victory, Heart out of Mirabella Cup.〕 Matches were drawn randomly within the Zone structure. Home teams were responsible for paying the referee's fees and for arranging the event day requirements when fixtured at their ground. Teams reaching the semi finals shared in a $50,000 prize pool. The 2011 competition began on 19 March and finished prior to the start of the A-League season.〔(), Mirabella Cup comes alive.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FFV State Knockout Cup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
