The schedule of the tournament had been widely criticised for being too long and therefore certain games had very few fans. The ECB announced that they retained the same schedule as it generates a lot of revenue for the smaller counties.[1]
The winner and runner-up of the tournament qualified for the 2011 Champions League Twenty20 qualifying stage.[2]
