Straight Knock-out, 1986-1996
The competition was played as a straight knock-out. The three league sides Grimsby Town, Lincoln City and Scunthorpe United competed as did the three senior non-league sides Boston United, Gainsborough Trinity and Grantham Town (except 1992-93). Spalding United's seasons in the Southern Football League saw them compete in the competition from 1989-1991. The 1995-96 competition reverted to a group format, with two randomly chosen groups of three with the winners of each group progressing to the final.
