CUPPERS

Each summer in Trinity, OUWPC holds an inter-college Cuppers water polo tournament, which is an opportunity for anyone at Oxford to give water polo a try without signing up for the Blues squad. The inaugaral tournament was held in 2004, following the completion of the Rosenblatt pool, and has been a popular occasion every year since, with increased participation each year.

The tournament usually follows the format of an initial group stage followed by semi-finals and a final. The group stage usually sees four groups of three, four or five colleges playing a round-robin tournament, with the group winners progressing to the semi-finals. It is a mixed tournament, with each team required to field at least three girls in the water at any time. Each team is also allowed only two Blues players in the pool at any time.

If you are interested in taking part in Cuppers, please send an email to our current secretary. Even if your college is not entering a team it is possible to join a surrogate college for the tournament. We do allow joint teams, but this should be confirmed with the secretary before entering, as we try to avoid this where possible.
