The Morrison Cup is an often-held video game soccer tournament played on various Playstation systems. 4 Morrison Cups have been started, but results are only available for 2 of them. One of the Morrison Cups, MC IV, was never finished due to a broken PS2
History
editBackground
editWhilst enjoying a hearty game of FIFA 07 one day, Pete Ruocco decided to host a FIFA tournament. After gathering some friends, the Morrison Cup was created. On one fateful Saturday afternoon, 6 men assembled at Flint Arena and played for many hours. The tournament was so enjoyable that they agreed to do it again...and again.
The tournament and its trophy are named after Jim Morrison, the deceased lead singer of The Doors. Ruocco felt that this was a very suitable name due to his affinity for The Doors.
