The Alex Jack Cup is a well established competition contested by clubs from the East of Scotland FA who are not full members of the Scottish Football Association or are otherwise qualified to compete in the Scottish Cup.
Thirty clubs took part last season, a record entry, but that figure has reduced to twenty-two this year, thanks to several recent East of Scotland League entrants obtaining club licences and joining the SFA. Haddington Athletic are barred from competing after breaching the rules last term.
Camelon Juniors won the cup last year but are not participating this year after qualifying for the Scottish Cup on the basis of winning a play-off against the Southern Counties Alba Cup winners.
The competition format is straight knockout.
