Welcome to the eighth season of California Cup! Like last year, all four Cal Cup competitions will feature three divisions: Competitive, Standard, and Novice.
Teams that intend to play 3 or 4 of the Cal Cup tournaments are encouraged to purchase “the package” (play the tournaments for the price of 3). Only teams that purchase the package are eligible to receive the overall Cal Cup prizes that are awarded at the conclusion of Cal Cup #4. In addition, package teams receive priority in case of a waitlist. Teams can purchase the package at Cal Cup #1 or #2 (but not after).
California Cup #1 (“Cal Classic”) will take place on Saturday, November 9 at Bellarmine College Prep in San Jose. The field cap is currently set at 18 for Competitive, 18 for Standard, and 25 for Novice; field expansion will depend on the staff+buzzer situation. Teams may consist of no more than 6 members. Tuesday, November 5 is the last day to register; in addition, all teams must have a roster posted before Wednesday, November 6.
We are still working to confirm the dates/sites of the other Cal Cup tournaments; we will provide updates when they are ready. We ask that one representative from each school fill out this form regarding potential dates for the other Cal Cup tournaments.
All teams (including package teams) that plan to play Cal Cup #1 must register on the NAQT website here.
If you intend to purchase the package at Cal Cup #1 please indicate so on your A team’s registration page (state how many packages and for which divisions). For example: If Bellarmine intends to purchase 1 package for each division then Bellarmine should indicate on their A team register for Cal Cup #1 “Bellarmine would like to purchase 1 package for each division.”
Beginning at Cal Cup #2 we plan to implement a new system for placing teams into the field. We will provide information regarding this when registration opens for Cal Cup #2.
Complete Cal Cup details can be found here.
