Not to be confused with 2014 IQA Global Games.

The IQA World Cup VII was the 2014 edition of the IQA World Cup (now the US Quidditch Cup), a quidditch club tournament then organized by the International Quidditch Association. The tournament was held in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina from April 5–6, 2014.[1]

The Cup featured 73 teams from the United States, five from Canada and one from Australia, that qualified through eight regional championships.[2] The final, which saw two Texan teams competing against each other, resulted in a 130*–70 victory for the University of Texas at Austin against Texas State University.[3]

Format

80 teams qualified for the cup and were divided into 16 pools of five team each.[4] However, due to a late withdrawal from the Rutgers Nearly Headless Knights less than a week from the tournament, pool 14 ended up with only four teams and the tournament was finally contested by 79 teams.[2] Each team played against all other teams in their pool, and the three best teams of each pool advanced to the 48-team single-elimination bracket phase. The winner of each pool received a bye in the first round, entering the bracket at the round of 32.[4]

Results

Bracket phase

The University of Texas claimed its second championship with a 130*–70 victory against Texas State University.[5][6]
