By the year 2012, the number of participating teams grew to ten. With that many teams, preliminary rounds had to go simultaneously on three fields. This was the first time Church Cup ever had that many games going on at once. Two completely new teams joined the tournament: Life Way from Philadelphia, PA and Syracuse Dortmund from Syracuse, NY. Spectators were not disappointed either, because they could enjoy their favorite Pizza Market sandwiches during the lunch break! Also, lunch break was used as an opportunity to share the Gospel with everyone present and to remind each other why we all gathered there. At the end of the day, Syracuse Dortmund NY took the title of champion by beating previous year’s champions in 2:0.
