- Within each oblasten savet (of 28) teams play against each other until a single team remains. This is followed by eliminations between those winners within each of the four zonalni saveta, until four teams from each are determined, a total of 16.
- Last season's winner of the Kupa na Amatyorskata liga /Fratria (Benkovski, obl.Varna)/, if it wishes to participate, is automatically entered as one of the four representatives of its regional zonalen savet /Varna/, without playing qualifiers (this season Fratria participates as a Vtora liga team so the spot isn't used).
- Winners are determined over one leg with penalties if score is level after regular time.
- The lower level team within each pair is host. If both teams from a pair are from the same level, hosting is determined by draw.
