Fabron's fourth title, 21 years after their last — organizer Nicki lifting the trophy at his own tournament, via a shoot-out against the only team never to have lost a Cup game. The trophy arrived by way of a 23-team worldwide relay, including a stop at an Indian border cowshed. Glamping pods, hot tubs, 20p showers (just the one temp tho), and the buffet of legend. Next: bids open for 2028.
