State Cup

The State Cup is a knockout tournament for the entire state of Michigan. All players who own any table football/soccer equipment, whether a Subbuteo Club Edition or a full-blown competition setup, are invited to participate.

For 2007, the quarter-finals will be in May, with the semi-finals in June. The final will be played at the Express Cup event on July 14 in Holland.

The first name drawn in each pairing will be the home team. We encourage you to take your family or friends on a long road trip and take in the game as part of that journey. We also encourage scrimmage play once the game is over. The idea of the tournament is to bring together table soccer enthusiasts across the state.

Scheduling is open and entirely up to the participating players.

The draw for the quarter-finals will take place on April 23rd, St George's Day. The draw for the semi-finals will take place at the end of May.

The registration deadline is January 31st. There is a $2 entrance fee.
