English Inter-Series Cup
English Inter-Series Cup
The English Inter-Series Cup is a tabletop event to find the best Tournament Series (TS) for bragging rights and the chance to call themselves the best series team.
Teams of coaches from each Tournament Series will be selected to represent their region based on the selection criteria set out below.
Teams representing the regions will pit themselves against each other in a NAF approved invitational event.
Along side this we will also run a singles event open to everyone.
The event will be held at The Outpost in Sheffield on the 12th and 13th June 2027.
Any questions about the event speak to Littleleadperson or Dodge 22. Questions on squad selection speak to your local Tournament Series Organiser (TSO).

Squad Selection Criteria
Each of the eight regions may field up to two squads of four coaches.
To qualify for a squad coaches must have played in enough tournaments to qualify for a prize in the region. (for most regions this will be three tournaments minimum).
Coaches will be invited to a squad based on their ranking in that series in priority of their ranking i.e, 1st then 2nd, 3rd etc. If the coach of the relevant ranking is not available the coach the next ranking down will be asked. Only positions 1 to 24 in a series are eligible for a squad for that series.
The winner of the 2026 EISC Singles tournament automatically gets allocated to the first squad of their home region (or a freebooter squad if that region cannot run a full squad).
TSOs/TOC should allow a 10 days' deadline for a coach to respond if they wish to participate.
In order to field a squad four coaches must be sourced from that series. So for instance if a series can only source six coaches they can only run one squad - it must have eight willing coaches to run two squads.
Coaches will be allocated to squads based on the higher ranking coaches being placed in one squad and the lower ranking coaches in the second squad.
If a coach qualifies for two series they will be allocated to their home region’s squad or if none of the series they qualified in is their home region, they would be invited to the squad they ranked highest in. Home region is defined as the region the coach lives in at time of invite or where they resided in 2026.
In the event a series can't field a full first squad their top ranking coaches will be prioritised for a freebooter team with the remainder of that squad made up of highest ranking coaches from other regional series (or highest scoring) who didn't otherwise qualify for a team.
A freebooter squad will also be deployed if there will otherwise be an uneven number of squads and will be selected on the basis of first offer to highest ranking coaches who didn't otherwise qualify.
A coach’s home series squad trumps their acceptance in another series’ squad even if they initially accepted a position in another region’s squad.
