Congrats on working to win the irrelevant state cup!

Anything can happen in a tournament like this. It will be fun to watch!

All the statements about it being irrelevant are absurd. It is the official State Cup sponsored by USYS and the State Sanctioned Organization. That some clubs choose not to participate does not change that. NEP is not an accepted league to qualify.

Not accepting NEP clubs totally invalidates this tournament. They're excluding the best clubs in MA in favor of protecting the townies. Go Commonwealth FC!

I think you have it backwards. The NEP clubs don't play in an accepted USYS league which is required to participate in this USYS tournament/State Cup. The NEP clubs choose that. They are not excluded from participating in a recognized league (Region 1, MAPLE, etc.). On the other hand, NEP does exclude clubs from participating in "their" league.

Are all the best teams in the state playing in this State Cup?

That was a rhetorical question. People already know.

Keep telling yourself that. It may in fact even be true. But with no unified state cup no one will know for certain

Maple clubs can play in NEP cup

NEP clubs choose not to play in a sanctioned league. They have made their own exclusive league where they can keep competing clubs out. If you want the best teams/clubs to be able to compete against each other talk to the NEP clubs. They can play in MAPLE. They will be admitted by meeting the basic requirements of the league. There is no "secret society vote" like at NEP where there is a financial reason to keep clubs out.

The USYS/MYSA State Cup is the official State Cup. The best teams who apply and are accepted will compete. Some will go to West Virginia for the Region 1 Championships in July. They all deserve praise, not bad mouthed because your club stays away.
