USASA is pleased to announce that members and other soccer fans can now follow the action of the 2008 USASA National Cups and its regional qualifying rounds online at www.usasa.com. 

For up-to-date scores, standings, schedules, field locations, team information and more, just click on the National Cups 2008 link in the top left corner of USASA’s homepage and you will be taken to the center of the National Cups coverage. Along with the tournament tracking feature, you will also find hotel information, deadline dates and all National Cups related articles. 

As tournament details continue to come in, each division of each region will have its own page.  For single elimination style tournaments, a list of the teams and a bracket will be displayed. Standings will be shown for those Regions using Pool Play. By clicking on a team’s name, you will be directed to the team page and within this section, you may find a logo, team photo, contacts, roster, uniform colors, official team website, schedules and standings.­­­

Back on the division’s page, below the standings or list of teams, the complete schedule is made readily available for viewers. The schedule includes dates, times, teams and fields locations. If you click on the name of the field, you will be provided with an address and a Google map for the complex.
 
Scores will also be listed on the schedule and standings will adjust accordingly. One way that scores can be reported is through the phone-it-in feature. With the use of this feature, scores can be called in from the field and results will be updated on the website within minutes.

So when it comes time to follow your team or just the National Cups as a whole, be sure to check out the National Cups 2008 tournament page and stay dialed in to all of the action.

The USASA National Cups Finals 2008 will be held at Starfire Sports Complex, Seattle, Washington, on August 7-10.
