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.
- No team has Spooned at every level of the Cup, however, /pol/ and /his/ are closest to completing the unholy trifecta, having Spooned an Elite and Fetus and an Elite and a Babby, respectively.
- /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.
