IQA World Cup VI
The IQA World Cup VI was the 2013 edition of the IQA World Cup (now the US Quidditch Cup), a quidditch club tournament then organized by the International Quidditch Association.[1][2][3][4] The tournament was hosted in Kissimmee, Florida from April 13–14, 2013. The Cup featured 77 teams from 4 countries. Sixty of the teams competed in the D1 division, and 17 teams competed in the D2 division. The D1 winner was University of Texas, who defeated UCLA in the championship match.[5][6][7][8][9] This marked the first time that Middlebury College did not win the Cup. The D2 division was won by Sam Houston State University who defeated Loyola University New Orleans, making the championships an all-Texas affair.[10][11][12] Due to the increasingly large number of official member teams, Division 1 was not open to all comers and was limited to 60 teams who earned their spot in the World Cup by competing in regional tournaments.[13] Division 2 consisted of other official teams who did not earn their spot at regionals but still wanted to compete.
