    HISTORY OF THIS LONG-STANDING EVENT:

     

    For decades, this event was a culmination of the SPA League, which initially was 14 and under where the winners of each gender went to the Speedo cup, (now Champions Cup), a national event for 14U Boys and 14U Girls. Think of the current 14U Futures League format, with league play then championship but if the winners went to a national event. Now, Champions Cup has its own qualification event if needed.

     

    SPA was the acronym for Southern Pacific Association which now has become the Coastal California and the Southern Pacific zones after USA Water Polo established zones.

     

    Currently, the SPA Championships is an multi-age-group open event which is open to any team regardless of participation in the league and offers both top-level and below with flight separation to offer meaningful games for each team similar to other legacy events.

     

    This event is one of the 3 or 4 Southern Pacific Zone awarded bid events. Note: $25 of each team's entry fee goes to the zone to support zone programs, similar to the other zone-awarded events (NJO quals, etc).

     

    For 2026, the SPA Championships was awarded by the zone to Socal Patriots (formerly Patriot).

    Note: entry system, scheduling, and results is supported by Kahuna Events.

    To see other awarded bid events for the zone through 2028 please go to www.sopacwp.com.

     

    Looking forward to seeing you on deck!

    About

    Evan Cousineau was a water polo player known throughout the Southern California pool decks for his competitive spirit and love for life. He battled a rare genetic disorder but throughout his journey, he demonstrated a true fighter’s spirit and has been an inspiration to many. We lost Evan in 2007 but his spirit lives on. In honor of Evan, this tournament will benefit the Be a Hero, Become a Donor (BAHBAD) Foundation which is designed to promote marrow, blood and organ donation so that we all can be heroes and help others who may be battling life threatening situations by providing hope. For more info go to BeAHeroBecomeADonor.org This is the 16th year of this event (not held in 2020 due to COVID) since its inception more than $329,000 has been raised for the foundation thru this event and its peripheral aspects (silent auction, direct donations, etc.), new donors were signed up and kids had a fun filled and competitive weekend.

    TIE-BREAKERS

    In the unlikely case of teams tied in game points, teams advance according to the WA tie breaker rules, stated in the WA Playing Rules, Appendix BL


    Two Way Ties - BL 9.6.3.1

    If two (2) teams shall have equal points, further classification shall be established as follows:

    "...The team winning the game between the two teams shall be placed higher..." (no other provisions apply)


    Three Way Ties - BL 9.6.3.2

    If three (3) or more teams shall have equal points, further classification shall be established as follows:


    BL 9.6.3.2.1 : The results among the tied teams shall determine which team is placed highest.


    BL 9.6.3.2.2 : If at any time during the application of the procedure set our in this BL 9.6.3.2, the number of tied teams is reduced to two (2), then BL 9.6.3.1 shall be used to determine which of the two (2) remaining teams is placed higher.


    BL 9.6.3.2.3 : "The comparison shall be made upon first, the points of the games among them, next the goal difference, and next, based upon goals scored."


    With ties remaining in head to head competitions and 4 or more teams in a bracket, there is the possibility for two teams to be tied and the next two teams to be tied. We need to break the higher tie first, by comparing EACH of those to BOTH of the next two tied teams, first in goal differential, if tied then total goals scored, if tied then least goals allowed.


    THEN once the top tie is broken we EACH of the lower tied teams to the top team ONLY, , first in goal differential, if tied then total goals scored, if tied then least goals allowed.
