A committee consisting of Thomas Shields, Ernest Witty and Urruela was formed, which would be in charge of appointing the referees and resolving any problems that might arise during the competition.
Hispania AC, the organizers of the tournament, was also taken as a contender for the title, having the likes of Carlos Soley, the Morris brothers (Enrique and Samuel) and team captain Gustavo Green, who scored 9 goals including 7 in two matches against Franco.
[2] Other notable results include 13–0 and 18–0 trashings of Barça over Franco-Española and Club Tarragona respectevely, in which Gamper netted a resounding 9 goals in each game.
The referee did not show up and the ground at Muntaner, which was making its official debut (until then Frare Blanch), had a slight incline at various points; the goal frames fell twice, two Espanyol players had to leave the field of play due to injuries, and in the face of such an accumulation of nonsense, Espanyol chose to leave the field before the end of the match, thinking of raising a protest against the competition committee, but they gave up from the idea knowing that the committee would always rule in favor of Hispania.
The long duration of the contest (3 months), the constitution of a Committee, the travel expenses that the clubs were forced to incur were sufficient reasons to believe that the value and richness of the cup was true.
