National Cup Entry Form: Click Here
National Cup competitions are starting again! In 2010-2011 we are making
some changes. But first, there are important dates that teams and states need to know:
Men's Open Cup entries
must be received by the Regional Commissioner on, or before, Monday, April 4. The elimination games for the Men's Open
Cup will be held on the following weekends: April 30-May 1, May 14-15 and the semi-finals will be played on May 28-29.
The top two semi-finalists will then be entered into the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup and will play their playoff game at the Region
II regional cups in Overland Park, Kansas. The winner will advance to the USASA National Cup Finals in Bowling Green, KY on
July 15-17.
All other competitions will play against one another at the Regional Finals on June 17-19. This year
we will not have a U20 competition going forward outside of the region.This year we will accept entries from all teams that
wish to enter from a single state, if the state has no objections. In otherwords, state cup finals can be eliminated at a
states discretion and teams may come directly to the regional finals. National Finals will be played at another Region
II venue, Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Get your cleats on! It's time to sign up now! For information on Overland

About the National Cups
The USASA National Cups program is the oldest and most
prestigious adult competition offered to all affiliated teams of the United States Adults Soccer Association. It is also
open to any youth soccer team whose players are registered with the United States Soccer Federation. Six divisions of competition are offered each year: Men's Open Cup, Men's Amateur Cup, Men's 0/30
Cup, Men's U/23 Cup, Women's Cup and Women's U/23 Cup. In addition, those teams who enter into the Men's Open Cup competition
are also entering the USSF Lamar Hunt Open Cup. This competition allows our adult men teams the possibility of playing the Major League Soccer (MLS) teams for the championship title.
For those NPSL or PDL teams wishing to participate in the USASA Werner Fricker Cup, the following guidelines apply:
1) If an NPSL or PDL team is also registered with a state association (or their "B" or "second"
team, etc. ) and plays in a league of four or more teams, then they may enter through the State Association.
2)
If an NPSL or PDL team is NOT registered with a State Association, then they must enter directly through the Regional Cup
Commissioner. If more than two teams in the same league enter, a play off game will be held to determine the league's
representative for the inter-regional games.
3) Entries and fees must be received prior to April 4. The
play off game must take place prior to April 25.
4). If an NPSL or PDL team (other than a separate "B"
or "Second" team) is a top two finalist in the Regional Open Cup, they will not advance as our regional
entry into the Lamar Hunt Open Cup. They will continue in the Lamar Hunt Open Cup through their respective league, if
qualified.
5) The Region Final of the top two teams will be played in Overland Park, Kansas at the Regional Finals. The
winner of the Regional Finals will play the winners of the other three regions for the Werner Fricker Cup at the National
Cup Finals in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
The 2010-2011 year will begin in September 2010 in many of our states in Region II. Contact your
state office now for more information. The regional competition will be held in Overland Park, Kansas at that wonderful, terrifiic
sportsplex on June 17-19, 2011. The National Finals, where the regional winners in all competitions compete for
the national championship title, will be held in Bowling Green, KY on July 15-17, 2011.
