Galactic Cup

Galactic Cup is one of the largest sporting events in the galaxy. The winner is crowned as the champion of jetball. The event is hosted by the Galactic Jetball Federation.

History
The first Galactic Cup was held in 44 BBY to determine the best planetary team in the galaxy. In fact, the title planetary team is a bit misleading, for individual systems usual compete as the same team. This is not always the case, however, as Kashyyyk and Trandosha have seperate jetball teams, just to name one example. The first tournament featured 64 teams coming to Coruscant, as thousands tried to qualify. Eventually, Corellia was victorious, defeating Alderaan 4-2.

Qualification
Qualification is a lengthy process that begins 3 years before the next Cup. Thousands of teams must be withered down to the final 64 that enter the tournament.
