The ADC’s flagship grassroots series returns on 7th September, with Vault 19.0 running for seven weeks through to 25th October, but unlike previous instalments, this series won’t get the luxury of building quietly toward its own finals.
Instead, it launches directly into one of the busiest stretches of the amateur calendar, running concurrently with the National Finals themselves.Vault 19.0 follows hot on the heels of Vault 18.0, which wrapped up on 16th August after its usual seven-week run.

Where things get interesting is the overlap, with the ADC National Finals taking place 15th-18th October at Bradmoor Farm, Aylesbury. For players competing in the new series, that means qualification business from the previous series and fresh points-scoring in the new one will be happening almost side by side.
From there, the calendar keeps moving fast.
The Global Championship follows closely on 1st-8th November at the MODUS Live Lounge in Portsmouth, before the cycle starts again and Vault 20.0 launches on 16th November and runs through to mid-January 2027.
The numbers behind Vault continue to underline just how far the series has grown since its 2022 launch. Vault 18.0 alone has produced regional winners across all eleven UK and Ireland regions. Keep an eye at our dedicated ADC area for more …
Across the wider ADC structure, more than 2,700 players have now qualified for the upcoming National FInals across the Core, Emerging, RISE and Vault categories, with the regional payout structure itself expanded this year.
Prize money is now paid down to the top 32 in each regional table, up from top 16, as part of a VAULT system now distributing over £1 million annually in regional prize funds alone, and more than £1.8 million across the ADC’s wider competition structure.

With Vault 18’s regional winners now turning their attention to October’s National Finals, and a fresh field of players launching straight into Vault 19.0 action from 7th September, this looks set to be one of the more compressed and compelling stretches of the ADC calendar yet.
