Denley Cup

**The Denley Cup** is the ultimate prize of the Farm Games. Only the greatest Farm Games players have the pleasure of hoisting the Denley and having their names engrained on it's sides. Forged by Paul Denley at his ranch in Manitoba in 1897, the Denley Cup is made of shining silver, gold and copper, and sports elaborate decoration across it's surface. Over the past 100+ years, the Denley has grown to preposterous sizes, currently standing at 24 feet tall, 7 feet wide, and weighing 452lbs. Within the center of the Denley Cup, is the mummified corpse of Paul Denley. His shriveled finger is affixed to the bowl atop the trophy.

The Denley Cup is stored in the Denley Vaults in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It is watched over by armed guards ad all time

Traditionally, when a team wins the Denley Cup at the end of a grueling Farm Games Campaign, a special stew called the Denley Stew is poured into the bowl atop the trophy, and each teammate feasts upon Denley Stew out of the cup. This is an age old tradition that every championship team is required to do.

The Denley Cup is awarded to the champion of the Denley Tournament. Denley Cup Champions must win 16 games throughout four separate best of seven series' between the top eight Farm Games teams in their respective conference.
