2005-'06 Lamar Hunt U. S. Open Cup 2005-'06 USASA National Amateur Cups MDCVSA Membership: My name is Jesse Rosenthal and I will continue my service as the USASA National Cups Commissioner for the Metropolitan DC-Virginia Soccer Association ("MDCVSA"). My contact information is as follows: Jesse Rosenthal 5327 North 5th Street Arlington, VA 22203 (703) 338-6916 (C) (703) 516-0259 (F) va_cup@yahoo.com The initial state qualifying rounds of the USASA National Cups (Men’s Open Cup and Men’s Amateur Cup) will begin no earlier than the weekend of October 15-16, 2005, and could continue through the weekend of December 3-4, 2005 (with any remaining games to be played as early as March 2006). In accordance with the USASA National Cup policies, the home team will be responsible for securing a field for each match (and for all field permit fees). Referee fees will be divided equally between the teams. Match referees will be assigned via the designated assignor for the Cup; the teams are NOT responsible for obtaining referees. For all other Cups (Women’s Open, Women’s Amateur, Men’s Over 30, Women’s Over 30, Men's Under 23, Women's Under 23), the entry deadline will be January 31, 2006. This deadline is deferred to that date because fewer teams historically enter those competitions. Play is expected to begin for those Cups in March 2006. If your team would like to participate in any of the National Cups, your team captain must send to me a completed entry form along with the appropriate entry fee (checks payable to “USASA”) by the established deadline. The entry forms can be found at these links: Lamar Hunt U. S.Open Open Cup: http://www.usasa.com/2004ingles/National%20Cups/Open%20Entry%20Final.pdf Amateur Cup and All Others: http://www.usasa.com/2004ingles/National%20Cups/Ama%20Entry%20Final.pdf You should also print off and become familiar with the National Cup Policies, which are found at this link: http://www.usasa.com/2004ingles/National%20Cups/2003-4%20NATIONAL%20CUP%20POLICIES.pdf Additional information about the history of these competitions and forms are posted on the USASA and MDCVSA web sites: MDCVSA Archives: http://mdcvsa.org/archives.html USASA Website: http://www.usasa.com/2004ingles/newdownloads.asp The entry fee and entry form for the Open and Amateur Cups (Men’s only) must be sent to me NOT LATER THAN 5:00 PM on Friday, September 30, 2005, either by fax or by electronic mail (with the original entry form and check sent by first class mail by that same date and time). The entry fees and forms for all other national cups (Women’s Open, Women’s Amateur, Men’s Over 30, Women's Over 30, Men's U23, Women's U23) must be sent to me NOT LATER THAN 5 PM on Tuesday, January 31, 2006, either by fax or by electronic mail (with the original entry form and check sent by first class mail by that same date and time). I will confirm receipt by electronic mail (or fax, if you do not have access to electronic mail.) It is important that all entry forms be submitted by the deadline, as I will be conducting a public draw (Men’s Open and Amateur Cup) on Wednesday, October 5th, 2005, at 6:00 PM at Rio Grande Restaurant in Ballston/(Arlington, VA). The draw announcement for the other national cup competitions will be announced in early February of 2005. I will maintain the calendar of upcoming deadlines and playing dates at the following State Cup YahooGroup Web Site: Click to join the MDCVSA National Cup Yahoo!
