Congratulations to City SC for being the 2024-2025 Club Champions!
Elite Competition for Elite Clubs
FOR ALL CLUBS: The Champions Cup Finals at IMG this year will include FOUR (4) non-Champions Cup teams at U14, U15, U16, U17, and U19. These four teams will be invited to attend the event by the GA following the Winter Showcase. Invitations will be based on:
- Performance in last year’s playoffs (U14 performance last year applies to the U15 team this year).
- Performance in regular season play through December 10.
- Performance at Winter Showcase if applicable (attendance at Winter is NOT required).
Champions Cup Format:
-
U13 – All 16 teams advance to Final 16 at IMG
-
U14, U15, U16, U17, U19:
-
Top 3 teams from each group at the Silverlakes event advance to Final 16.
-
Best 4th place team at each age group advances.
-
Tiebreakers are consistent with playoffs, can be found in GA Frameworks
-
Bottom four 4th place teams and the four non-Champions Cup teams (invited as mentioned above) advance to a 2nd tier competition at IMG on the same play dates as mentioned above.
- Finals:
- Teams in the Top 16 compete in the finals portion and will play four (4) games, either advancing through the bracket to the finals or playing consolation games once they have been eliminated.
- On the fourth day, teams will compete in a placement game that will determine points earned by each team. (First Place = 16 points, Second Place = 15 points, etc.)
- Only games in the Finals portion of the event will count towards a club’s overall points. The club with the most points after the final day will be crowned the overall Club Champion.
- Showcase:
- Showcase teams will play three (3) group play games and a fourth game that is a crossover with the opposite bracket. (A1 vs. B1, A2 vs. B2, etc.)
