The Association of Water Polo Clubs, usually known as the AWPC - read Awh-Puck - is the multiverse's official International Water Polo Federation-sanctioned club-championship organizer. Currently, the AWPC is a small-scale tourney, expected to draw at most eight teams for the tourney, however the IWPF was envisioned as a small 8-team tournament and has grown to seat a minimum of twenty nations per tournament, there is much hope for the AWPC. The AWPC runs its title tournament, the Water Polo Challenge Cup, the pillar of club water polo and also runs the Seconding Championship, a tournament for those who wash out in the WPCC or just missed the cut for the WPCC. Currently, with the IWPF and AWPC both headquartered in Kebec, the running of the APWC is oversaw by Mr. Sebastian Fjalarsson of Kebec, with the tournament finals held in Kebec, the rounds leading up to the finals are all contested in various places within the multiverse, depending on where the said teams hail from. West Phoenicia, Vekaiyu and Kebec, perhaps the most-dominant teams in the international tournament are also expected to be the best-of-the-best, especially the former which has won 2-out-of-3 of the WPIC's and has been in every final ever-contested.
Entry into the Competition
Each nation will be entitled to up to three entries to the WPCC, the optional third-spot is allocated to the third-place team who will automatically be assigned a place in the Seconding Championship.
The champion of the WPCC will receive an automatic-qualifier for the WPCC. If they do not qualify via league position, an extra spot will be awarded to them. While the host of each WPCC's final (starting in Season 2) will be afforded up to four slots, three for the WPCC and 1 for the Seconding Tournament.

The WPCC is cultivate tournament with the final being a best-of-five series for added drama and suspense. With high expectations, the question will be who will win? - surely, it could be any nation.
