2010 Flying Purple Cup

2010 Flying Purple Cup was the third edition of this great tournament. Although it was hailed as a great artistic success, nobody ever managing to be online at the same time as anybody else has lead to a whole lot of delays. Eventually people lost interest and the cup was awarded to orphans. This lead to doing away with groups from the next edition.
==Preparations==
A whole lot of coding pretty tables and photoshopping pretty things and moviemaking pretty ads took place. The cup was part of a mid-2010 clan publicity campaign which was designed to lure new members, and this is why it was so purdy!
FIFPA was controlling the whole thing and defrauding cookies and stuff. helping poor orphans and the environment and intercultural understanding and world peace.
==The tournament==
There were three groups and via a convoluted play-off system they managed to spawn eight quarterfinalists. Unfortunately, by the time this was achieved, it was already like late July and still nobody could agree on when to play the games so eventually FIFPA awarded the cup to the orphans so that we all got closure.
