Given the proportion of players that are under 22 in the community it shouldn't be shocking to have low turnout for an event that takes up a good chunk of time during the busiest part of the school year.
I don't know what the rules/requirements for renewals for these cups are, but delaying/canceling until most people are out of classes might be a good option. Personally, I'm looking forwards to playing in the June cup but I can't indulge in TF2 during the school year.
