The question setters (Harrington Academicals and Park Taverners) were asked to provide three question masters each. The Weaver and the Waters Green Lemmings were asked to provide one question master each. This meant (hopefully) that eight question masters were available for the eight Cup and Plate quarter–finals.

Final: 25 September 2018

The questions were collated by the Pack Horse Bowling Club and the Robin Hood.

Plough Horntails 84 119 Waters Green Rams

The first two rounds were very close, and after 40 questions the teams were tied on 34 points each. After that the Rams pulled away steadily, as the following table illustrates:
