The tournament was played during the early part of the season. Each week one match would be played under Floodlight s on a Tuesday evening; it was this match that was televised by the BBC. Non-televised matches were played at various times, depending on clubs' commitments in more prestigious tournaments. Despite the title many matches did not take place under floodlights; clubs such as Barrow and Bramley (for example) did not possess adequate lighting. The tournament was not rugby league’s first foray into evening television; the 1955-56 season saw a tournament titled the ITV Floodlit Competition. Eight clubs participated in a series of games played at Football grounds in the London area, with Warrington eventually running out 43 -18 victors over Leigh . LIST OF FINALS
