TX-Consortium Cup
The Texas Consortium is the largest and 2nd oldest US regional federation. TexCon is open to all those who were born in, reside in, or love Texas. They are especially dedicated to developing and promoting a successful community of teams from the HT regions of Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston and Texas.
The federation was founded on February 19, 2003 by Joshua Carkhuff, then manager of Number Munchers. The oldest known member of the federation was Group TNT who joined on February 20, 2003. The top federation office was claimed by the Texas Dragons (now Texas Nationals) in 2003, and passed to Los Guys in 2006.
As of June 2008 it's being run by two guys from Australia. How the current CEO got into that position is a little cloudy, but his subsequent actions are not. He posted a Fed ad on the Oceania conference stating that he'd be accepting Oceania memberships and trying to cram as many Aussies into the fed as possible. He put another Aussie in the 'second in command' position, and when their actions were questioned in the federation conference, the questioners were booted from the Fed.
The organizer of the TexCon Cup was one of the dissenting voices, and he founded the Texas Consortium Cup (TexCon Cup) fed, in order to continue the history and heritage of the original TexCon Cup. The TexCon Cup will be held for the 15th time in Season 36, and as has been traditional since Season 32, the winner will play in the US Champion's Cup series.
Members of the original TexCon are encouraged to join the new federation, and as far as the TexCon Cup federation is concerned there's no reason HT'ers can't be members in both.
Texas Consortium Cup
The Texas Consortium Cup was first held in season 22 and has been held every season since then. With the exception of TexCon VI, which was held with the Mid-Atlantic Community of Hattrick Owners (MACHO), the cup has been open only to teams that are located in the HT-regions of DFW, Houston or Texas; or are members of TexCon. TexCon XIII was not held, instead TexCon combined with the Oklahoma region for the Red River Shootout.
