The Dewar Cup

January 30, 2007 — (ASN) With a 2007 season that will have MLS and the US national team playing more games than ever before, the number of Major League Soccer teams that will enter the US Open Cup has been reduced to eight teams. The top six ranked teams from 2006 – Chicago, Chivas USA, D.C. United, Dallas, Houston and New England entering the tournament in the third round, while the remaining teams will play qualifying matches.

The USL First Division will have ten teams participating – up from eight in 2006.

Teams compete in one of the following four categories: professional outdoor Division I (Major League Soccer), Division II (USL First Division) or Division III (USL Second Division); or Amateur Division (USL Premier Development League and U.S. Adult Soccer Association).

Qualifying for the first round of the tournament is to be completed by May 28, and the additional amateur qualifying round that was played in 2005 and 2006 has been eliminated. The tournament will begin with the first round on June 12, with all 32 lower division teams taking the field.

The U.S. Open Cup is a single-elimination tournament, with games tied after regulation being decided in two fifteen-minute overtime halves. If neither team scores during the overtime period, the winner is decided on penalty kicks.

The team that advances the furthest from each level except Division I earns a $10,000 cash prize. The runner-up takes home $50,000, while the champion collects $100,000.
