What are Tri-Cups? 

 

So what are Tri-Cups?

Tri-Cups are the next level of tournament after divisional playoffs. Tri-Cups will decide who makes it to the WCQ or World Championship Qualifier (previously State Championship). As the name implies there are three of them - one after every session (Summer, Fall, and Spring).


So ah... Why are we doing Tri-Cups?

Tri-Cups are a way of limiting the field for the WCQ to a manageable size. As our league continues to grow it will become important to have a way to ensure that everyone has a fair and equal chance to qualify for the WCQ. Also it is important that the WCQ remain something that can be completed in a reasonable time.

Does this mean we will have the opportunity to win more money and more prizes?

Yes indeed! Winning teams will receive cash payouts and there will be raffles and cash tables and other goodies for players!! Did we mention you will have the opportunity for more competition?
