Awards

The Infinity Cup

The final prize awarded to the ultimate winner of the Infinity Cup: a worthless jaypeg of a star on your emblem, 15 minutes of fame and the eternal butthurt of all the other boards targeting your own. Never forget what the wise men at SEGA of Bongistan once said: It's not the Winnin', it's the Rubbin' it in!

Recipient Board	Competition	Notes
borderless	2015 Summer Infinity Cup	The winners of the Inaugural Cup, notable for the yuge amount of goals scored by all teams
borderless	2016 Winter Infinity Cup	Considered to be a controversial and suspicious victory, /leftypol/ took the second Cup on the back of smothering defense and incisive strikes on offense. There's little to no evidence that remains of any impropriety on /leftypol/'s part, though a common theory is that the GK scandal from the prior Cup was executed again and went undetected. Some remain pretty salty about this victory, others point to the fact that they've yet to actually defend the title or even appear in a game since.
borderless	2018 Summer Infinity Cup	First Cup to be played without Cotton as the host. Served as a revival of the Infinity Cup, under the new name The 8chan Cup
borderless	2019 Winter Infinity Cup	The first (and hopefully only) Cup to be played on Australian internet, /christian/ shocked the world and took home back to back Cups.
borderless	2019 Summer Infinity Cup	A Cup nearly doomed thanks to a targeted attack on the site, /kind/ shocked the world, first knocking off the defending champions in the Seminfinals then claiming victory in a nerve-wracking penalty shootout in the Final.
borderless	2020 Summer Infinity Cup	In a Cup with half of the field being either brand new, or non-participants in the prior Cup, uncertainty abounds. /fascist/ rose above the competition, proving themselves the betters of teams both new and old, and that they were truly the biggest of guys, defeating /bane/ in the Final.

The Golden Boot

A boot-shaped faux gold cup awarded to the player with the most goals scored throughout the Cup.

Recipient Player	Team	Goal Tally	Competition	Notes
DIO BRANDO		11	2015 Summer Infinity Cup	The first ever Golden Boot ended up being shared by a vampire and a converted Roman, in an incredible turn of events.
St. Paul
Stannis		10	2016 Winter Infinity Cup	Stannis led the way for /tv/, scoring 5 goals in the Group Stage (including a 4 goal game) and another five in the Knockout Round, which included a hat trick in the Semifinals.
Swolecard		8	2018 Summer Infinity Cup	The third edition of the Cup saw the Golden Boot split again, this time by the captain of the Starship Enterprise and a fucking wolfman from a children's TV show.
Lupo Lucio
G-d Collins		9	2019 Winter Infinity Cup	The 4th edition of the Cup was rocked by several debut teams, and no individual player had more of an impact than G-d Collins, lead striker for /genesis/.
St. Peter		10	2019 Summer Infinity Cup	The second /christian/ player to earn the honor, St. Peter dominated opponents throughout the 5th edition of the Cup, highlighted by a 4 goal performance in the Round of 16 vs. /ausneets/.
Alfred Legosen		6	2020 Summer Infinity Cup	The 6th edition of the Cup saw its first ever 3-way split of the Boot, with three different team captains sharing the awards with 6 goals apiece.
Ammit
Cuckquean-tan
Eris		11	2022 Summer Infinity Cup	'

The Golden Touch

A different-looking, boot-shaped faux gold cup awarded to the player with the most assists during the Cup.

Recipient Player	Team	Assist Tally	Competition	Notes
St. Paul		5	2019 Summer Infinity Cup	The first Infinity Cup where assists were fully tracked, the Golden Touch was fittingly won by St. Paul who shared the Golden Boot the first time it was awarded.
Benito Mussolini		5	2020 Summer Infinity Cup	A player much-maligned through the 6th Cup, /fascist/'s stalwart rolled into perfect form just in time for the Knockout Stage, posting all 5 of his assists in the do-or-die round.

The Golden Glove

A pure gold plated latex glove for all your fist-based needs. Awarded to the GK deemed to have performed the best throughout the whole Cup.

Recipient Player	Team	Games Played	Saves	Keeper Coefficient	Competition	Notes
Doom		7	24	1.14	2019 Summer Infinity Cup	Despite giving up 6 goals, tied for most through the Group Stage, Doom and /co/ settled down just in time for the Knockout Stage, giving up only 2 goals through the bracket. Doom's 24 saves were by far the most in the tournament, 7 more than the nearest competitor.
Charles Maurras		6	15	1.16	2020 Summer Infinity Cup	An impressive, opening game shutout of eternal powerhouse /christian/ was just the beginning for Maurras. A shaky performance vs. /lego/ nearly made it all for naught, but /fascist/'s keeper tightened the screws and gave up only one goal per game from the Quarterfinals through to the Finals. His rock solid performances between the posts were crucial to /fascist/'s eventual victory.

The Golden Ball

Awarded to the player who performed best in the Knockout Stage of the Cup.

Recipient Player	Team	Competition	Notes
Anti-Bully Ranger		2019 Summer Infinity Cup	A somewhat controversial pick for the MVP, given the near-fatal miss in the penalty shootout that decided the Cup, Anti-Bully Ranger was still a crucial piece to /kind/'s run to glory. With 4 goals and 2 assists during the Knockout Stage, including what some called the Goal of the Tournament, Anti-Bully Ranger's efforts were more than enough to earn the honor.
Cuckquean-tan		2020 Summer Infinity Cup	It's not often a player with zero points in the Group Stage contends for Golden Boot, let alone Golden Ball, but Cuckquean-tan's 6 goal, 2 assist performance through the Knockout Stage put her name on both trophies. Highlighted by what was almost Goal of the Tournament against /ausneets/, a hat trick against /yuri/, and the dagger goal in the 3rd Place Game, the debut Cup for her and her team was one to remember, even if it didn't start out that way.

The Golden Screw

An award in the shape of a giant Phillips screw, meant to be given to the team or player who was absolutely and utterly screwed out of a positive result through no fault of their own. Initially inspired by the win taken away from /argentina/ in the 2018 Summer Infinity Cup thanks to a PES crash, and again by /u/ suffering a similar fate in the 2019 Winter Infinity Cup the Golden Screw was first awarded at the end of the 2019 Summer Infinity Cup.

Recipient	Competition	Notes
(You)	2019 Summer Infinity Cup	In an irony of ironies, the Cup where the Golden Screw was first awarded saw no scumfuckery from PES, and the game was on its best behavior throughout the tournament. However, given the events related to our home site leading up to the tournament, and the resulting chaos and disorder, the Golden Screw ended up being awarded to every anon involved in the Cup, from the organizers and commissioner, to every humble anon who just wanted to watch. We wanted no trouble. We just wanted our home.
Sweet Dreams	2020 Summer Infinity Cup	The own goal is one of the cruelest fates of divegrass. Stripping all effort away from the attackers who fought to score, and converting it entirely into blame for one defending player. Such is the story for /late/ & /comfy/'s keeper Sweet Dreams. A 90+1' effort from /cuckquean/'s My Sister bounced in off the rookie netminder, took the single point from his team, which by coincidence would have been enough to see /late/ & /comfy/ through to the Knockout Stage had the result held. Some say My Sister's shot was going in anyway, and that Sweet Dreams was just doing his job. The Gods of Divegrass disagree, and we recognize his burden by awarding him the Golden Screw

The Jade Clock

Sometimes mistaken for "the jaded cock", it's a joint award for the Teams who played the best match of the cup. A good match includes a nice back and forth, a lot of goals (or really cool ones), a spectacle of colors and emotions from both teams, individual feats that are unusual for the game, a matchup that seems very unlikely or that most people wanted to happen, high participation from most board dwellers and overall the highlighting of all the aspects that make watching simulated divegrass a joy for everyone involved. As a subjective award, the 8ChanCup Streaming Committee can pick and choose any match, especially if they like to rig them.

Recipients	Final Score	Competition	Notes
Group F Match	4-4	Infinity Cup 6	A back and forth affair that saw quick goals, stupid goals, funny goals and more, /eris/ vs. /sp/ delivered on each's respective promise to bring a unique and offensive team to the tournament. Highlighted by a yellow to /eris/'s keeper Principa Discordia, that gifted /sp/ a go-ahead PK, this game had fans glued to their screens the whole time.
