In the Spring 2008 season, Aegean Hawks games will be split between regular season WPL matches and National Cup play. National Cup play takes priority over WPL regular season play. As such, should a Cup game be arranged on a date where there is a WPL game also scheduled, the WPL game will be rescheduled to a later date.

National Cups
USASA National Amateur Cup
The USASA National Amateur Cup is a national tournament open to all amateur teams affiliated with the USASA (United States Adult Soccer Association). The USASA is affiliated with the United States Soccer Federation (USSF). The qualification process is as follows. First, teams have to survive the State qualification process that starts in the Fall season and finishes in the begining of the Spring season. All state champions qualify for regional rounds of the competition. In the regional rounds of the competition, the various state champions are paired up and play single elimination games until a regional champion is determined. The country is split up into 4 regions - DC/VA lies in Region 1, which spans Maine down to West Virginia. The four regional champions qualify for the National rounds of the competition, which always occurs the first weekend in August at a predetermined location. National semi-finals and finals are played during the course of that weekend to determine that year's National Amateur Champion. This year Nationals will take place in Seattle from August 3-5.

Lamar Hunt US Open Cup
The Lamar Hunt US Open Cup is similar to England's FA Cup. It is one of North America's longest standing competitions and has been played every year since 1914. It is open to all amateur and professional soccer teams affiliated with the USSF. The tournament ultimately commences in first round with 24 professional teams (MLS, USL-1, USL-2) and 16 amateur teams (8 PDL, 8 USASA) clubs participating. There is a qualification process for amateur teams (and professional teams for that matter) which is very similar to that of the USASA National Amateur Cup, but is run as a seperate competition. The only wrinkle is that all of the Regional Finalists at the amateur level (USASA) level qualify for the first round of the actual US Open Cup. For more information on the US Open Cup, visit the US Open Cup website (link).

Irrespective of what occurs in the actual US Open Cup, the regional finalists will play each other to determine a champion for each USASA Region. The regional champions qualify for Nationals in the first weekend in August (same location, process) to determine an Amateur champion for the US Open Cup (USASA-only). In essence, from the perspective of the amateur team the US Open Cup is exactly like the USASA National Amateur Cup, with the only difference being able to qualify and play in the US Open Cup proper as a regional finalist.
