Computed straight from the 351 decided games: the roads the champions took, the finals that came down to a goal, how the goals and the margins fell, the shootouts, and the close ones.
The roads to the titles
A champion plays 4 to 5 games from the first pool game to the final. Nobody beat a champion all weekend. The tightest road was Foothill Red's in 18U Boys: 2 of its 4 games were decided by a goal or a shootout.
The six highest-scoring champions, by goals a game; record, then goals for and against over the whole road.
The closest finals
How the goals fell
The 18U Boys games were the highest scoring, 21.5 goals a game over 24 games; 10U Coed the lowest at 15.5. The highest-scoring team, over four games or more, was Commerce in 14U Boys: 86 goals in 5 games, 17.2 a game.
| Age group | Divisions | Games | Goals | A game |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10U Coed | 1 | 40 | 619 | 15.5 |
| 12U Boys | 1 | 30 | 540 | 18 |
| 12U Girls | 1 | 26 | 409 | 15.7 |
| 14U Boys | 1 | 42 | 778 | 18.5 |
| 14U Girls | 1 | 44 | 731 | 16.6 |
| 16U Boys | 1 | 41 | 775 | 18.9 |
| 16U Girls | 1 | 54 | 1,073 | 19.9 |
| 18U Boys | 1 | 24 | 516 | 21.5 |
| 18U Girls | 1 | 50 | 990 | 19.8 |
How the margins fell
Of 351 decided games, 52 came down to a goal or a shootout and 161 were won by seven or more. The most common margin was 4–6 goals.
More than one title
One club won more than one division, counting a club’s squads together.
The widest margins
One game per division, the widest; pool play, where the draw is still sorting itself out.
Shootouts
The sheets write a shootout as a decimal, the regulation score and the tally: these are the longest the tally shows.
The close ones
One in 9 of the 351 scored games. One of them was a final: SBWPC A over Regency in 18U Girls.
50 clubs entered 176 teams. Squads roll up to their club by name (a club’s A, B, Blue and Black are one club), so this counts every title a club’s squads won, the finals they lost and the third places they took. Most titles in the top column first.

Where everyone finished, division by division. Elsewhere the places are the ones the sheet’s placement games settle: the winner of the game labeled 1st is first, its loser second, and so on down; a run of places a round robin settles is ranked by record in that group, and says so.

The California Cup Club League is a club water polo league founded by CHAWP, with a South league in Southern California, qualifiers in Northern California, and a State Finals every April for the top nine teams from the South and the top seven from the North in each age group.
In 2026 the 10U Coed, 12U and 14U divisions played April 11–12 in Orange County, hosted by SoCal WPF, and the 16U and 18U divisions April 18–19 in the Inland Empire, hosted by CHAWP. Each division opens with pools, then plays through placement pools and a final labeled 1st.
The California Cup League publishes each division's schedule and results as a Google Sheet linked from cacup.com. Eggbeater read those nine workbooks after the finals and kept every game here; the league did not run the event on Eggbeater, and it was not in the app.
On Eggbeater
Eggbeater reads a league’s own schedule sheets and turns them into live scores, standings and a record like this one, with nothing for the coordinators to change. Spectators get every game, pool and score on their phones.
