Trivia

• Although possible, no team outside of a fetus has ever Spooned on 2 or more points. The theoretical maximum possible is 4 for tournaments with groups of 4 and 6 for tournaments with groups of 5, but the likeliness of this occurring is slim to none, as it would require every group to finish 4-4-4-4 or 6-6-6-6-6 respectively.
•  /pol/ is so far the only team to have spooned at every level of the cup, having spooned an Elite (Summer 2016), Babby (Spring 2023) and Fetus (Spring 2017 Qualifiers).
•  /out/ were the first team in Cup history to Spoon a cup and then win the very next cup they participated in: they finished dead last in the 2015 4chan Spring Babby Cup and then won the very next Babby.
•  /u/ were the first team in Cup history to do the exact opposite, winning the 2018 4chan Winter Cup and then immediately Spooning their next tournament.
