True Blue Cup is a friendly cup in hattrick. The first installement was won by Rochester United. The final between Rochester United and Red Stripe FC was held on 1/24/2008 with a 4-2 final score.
Namesake
The two squads agreed to accept a sponsorship bid from True Blue, a fan club at their alma-matter University at Buffalo, for their rivalry. It is appropriately dubbed, The True Blue Cup. The inaugural game of the TBC was played on January 24th, 2008, with Rochester coming back from a 2-0 deficit to win 4-2..
History
- Seasons 34-36
- Rochester United and Red Stripe FC played in the first three instances of the True Blue Cup. Rochester prevailed with three straight victories.
- Season 37
- Begining in Season 37, three additional teams will be added to the True Blue Cup: Cheektowaga & Diamonds, Syracuse Salty Dogs, and RBUB. All three teams are owned by former UB Students.
- The tournament will be modified to accomodate the three teams. Syracuse and RBUB, who did not qualify for the US Open Cup, played the opening round match on October 9, 2008, with Syracuse winning 5-2.
- On a bitterly cold Thanksgiving morning Syracuse Salty Dogs massacred Cheektowaga & Diamonds 8-0. This will be sure to do go down in True Blue Cup history as the Thanksgiving Day Massacre. The Salty Dogs move on in the tournament to face Red Strip FC in the quarterfinals of the Cup.
- For the fourth straight year it was Rochester United verses Red Stripe FC for the TBC and for the fourth time in a row Rochester United came out with a 6-1 win to claim the Cup.
- Season 38
- The TBC will undergo some more changes as two more teams will be added to the tournament. Rockland Rage and AC Cuervo Bulls are set to join the Cup. Cheektowaga & Diamonds were taken over by the Power Pugs in a highly controversial maneuver. While there has been no proof that any foul play was involved, TBC Chairman Kevin Wetzel decided to issue a sacntion against Power Pugs: they will be the lowest seed when cup play begins for two seasons. With an odd number of teams in the Cup, Rochester United, the reigning champion, will have a first round bye as the cup enters a more traditional tournament style set up.
- The Tournament seeding goes as follows: (1) Rochester United (2) Red Stripe FC (3) Syracuse Salty Dogs (4) WRBUB (5) Rockland Rage (6) AC Cuervo Bulls (7) Power Pugs.
- Matchups = 2 vs. 7, 3 vs. 6, 4 vs. 5
