Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSemantics. For the purposes of State Cup, MYSA runs it. MYSA=State, USYSA= National (Region 1 etc.)
With USYS you qualified for the state cup by playing in MAPLE and then there was much more of a process to getting to become the state champ than there is in this USCS series. It was all very structured and methodical. In order to get down to the final weekend you had to play your way through a ton of games so the national champion was usually pretty battle tested.
With USCS you can qualify for their championship weekend EITHER by winning the NEP, or by winning the state cup ( a 2 game series?) or by winning the regional cup. You don't have to win all three. In fact you could actually enter all three and lose in them, then go to several other similar events in completely different parts of the country and qualify that way by winning at one of them. In the USCS world the teams that read the situation the best will likely be the national champion, not the necessarily the best team.

I actually thinking having many ways of qualifing is a good thing because anything can happen in a game. The best team does not always win and this allows a team that had a bad day to still advance to the National Championship.

GPS is entered in both the NEP/NEPL, Region 1, and State Cup.

Wait a little bit. There were a couple of quiet but important developments recently. One is USL seems to be re-engineering the semi-pro level and the other is the announcement that US Soccer is going to create a girls DAP. My bet is the clubs have figured out at this point that moving slow is the smartest way to react to the changing soccer landscape. I look for things to evolve in a completely different direction than it has recently with the top clubs really trying to consolidate access to all the levels of soccer from "rec" all the way up to semi-pro. The girls DAP might be a big game changer in terms of club power.
