USFA Diamond Cup Series
USFA is proud to introduce a prestigious new award called the USFA Diamond Cup. The USFA Diamond Cup will be awarded at the USFA State Tournament to the team in each age group that has accumulated the most points while playing in Diamond Cup Series events only.

We will designate one event per month in a specific area as a Diamond Cup event. Also any event with 40 or more teams or 14 teams in a particular age group will be automatically designated a Diamond Cup event.

Our plan is to host 2-3 Diamond Cup events per state each month. Teams can earn points in all events they participate in regardless of area or State.  If a team from out of state plays in a cup series tournament (ex., Louisiana team in a Texas tournament) they will be awarded Points towards their own State Cup.

How it works
The team (one per age group) that accumulates the most Diamond Cup points by playing in Diamond Cup Series Tournaments will be awarded their USFA Diamond Cup Trophy for their state. Players will also receive individual T-Shirts. The Diamond Cup will be awarded at the USFA State Tournament.
USFA Diamond Cup Points System
Only the points earned in specific Diamond Cup Series events will be counted.
(NOTE: Diamond Cup points will be tallied seperate from the USFA Team Points System because all USFA events - State Qualifier points & NIT 2x points are calculated and used to seed teams at the State & National.  However when playing in Cup Series events you will also earn USFA Team Points)

Diamond Cup Series Points will be awarded as follows

1st place = 10 points
2nd place = 9 points
3rd place = 8 Points
4th Place = 7 Points
5th Place = 6 Points
6th Place = 5 Points

7th Place = 4 Points
Did Not Place = 3 Points
