The 2011–12 Cornwall Hockey Association Plate will be the 2011-12 season of the Cornwall Hockey Association Plate, known as the Cornwall Plate or CHA Plate. The Plate is the secondary knock-out competition organised by the Cornwall Hockey Association, and will be contested by senior male and female hockey teams in the county of Cornwall who have been eliminated from the 2011–12 Cornwall Hockey Association Cup in (or prior to) Round 1.
A total of 18 teams will compete in the competition (a reduction of 1 compared to the 2010-11 competition), and will begin on Sunday 18 December 2011 with the Ladies Plate Round 1. The competition will culminate with the Ladiess Plate Final on Sunday 15 April 2012 at Penzance HC. St. Austell HC (1st XI) and Truro HC (1st XI) are the respective holders of the Men's and Ladies Plates.
Format
Both the Men's Plate and Ladies Plate are to be contested as knockout competitions, with a single defeat eliminating the losing team.
2011–12 will see the draws for all rounds of the competitions made prior to the start of the tournament, thereby allowing teams to analyse their potential opponents in any subsequent rounds. This system was previously used in the 2009-10 season, but dropped for the 2010-11 competition in favour of a system for drawing each round following the completion of the previous one. As the trial proved unsuccessful, the system reverted for 2011-12.
