From 1978–1986, the Cup was awarded after a one game exhibition, that had no effect on the major league standings. The game was suspended in 1987 as the two teams could not find a mutually agreeable date to play the game. There was discussion about reviving the game in the preseason, or playing it in another Canadian city such as Vancouver, but this never took place. However, the Jays did play a number of exhibition games at BC Place in Vancouver including three game series against the Milwaukee Brewers prior to both the 1984 and 1985 seasons (the Vancouver Canadians were the AAA farm team of the Brewers at the time), as well as single games against the Detroit Tigers and Brewers in 1993 and against the Montreal Expos and Seattle Mariners in 1994 in a series billed as the "Baseball Classic". The Jays also played the Cleveland Indians in an exhibition game at War Memorial Stadium in nearby Buffalo, New York in 1987. More recently, the club has hosted exhibition games at Olympic Stadium in Montreal: two against the New York Mets prior to the start of the 2014 season and two versus the Cincinnati Reds in April 2015. The team is scheduled to play two more games against the Boston Red Sox at Olympic stadium in April 2016, and has also discussed playing more games at BC Place with the President of the Vancouver Canadians.
During the 2003 and 2004 series, the Cup was awarded after a six game set, three in Toronto and three in Montreal. These games did count toward the major league standings and were during the regular season. The 1979 and 1985 games were abandoned as ties due to time constraints; in 1979 the Expos had to catch an airplane flight,〔 while in 1985 the Jays had to catch a flight.〔
