Infinity Cup 1

Infinity Cup 1 (also known as the 2015 Summer Infinity Cup) was the very inaugural iteration of the Infinity Cup. Sixteen (16) boards were scheduled to compete in a single-elimination bracket to see who was to be crowned as the first-ever champion of the Infinity Cup.

A series of friendlies were played in advance of the Cup, mostly to iron out wrinkles in streaming, and in making sure teams were imported properly. Few if any records exist of these friendlies.

Bracket Draw
The bracket was determined by feeding all 16 teams to a randomizer. The draw was performed on April 16, 2015

/leftypol/ Stat Controversy
On June 30, two days after /leftypol/ destroyed /pone/ 6 - 3, an anon pointed out that /leftypol/'s goalkeeper had significantly higher stats than /pone/'s. A subsequent investigation into /leftypol/'s export found that their goalkeeper had been assigned 77 points for all stats, to the 70 of other teams. Some anons posit that this discrepancy was the product of a rule change late into planning for Infinity Cup I and nobody checking team exports before the cup began. Other anons maintain it was a deliberate act on the team's part to try and get a leg up on the competition. As a result of the error, /leftypol/'s two matches were voided, and were replayed on July 3, 2015.

Interestingly, one of /co/'s goalkeeper was also found to have 77pts for all stats as part of their export. This keeper was not fielded in the team's match against /v/, and thus the match was not affected by the error. /co/ went on to lose the match 3 - 0.
