Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup qualification 2016 17 October 2015 – 22 November 2015 56 2015 2017 2016 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup The 2016 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup tournament proper will feature teams from all five tiers of men's soccer of the American Soccer Pyramid. Starting with the 2016 tournament, US Soccer took over the qualifying process that used to be handled by each association. According to US Soccer, all teams within the Division I, II, & III professional leagues will qualify automatically as in past years. Any national league not in the top three divisions can apply to use previous year's league standings as their qualification method. Remaining teams will participate in up to five qualifying rounds to determine entrants into the tournament proper. In prior years, slots were allocated and the individual associations created tournaments and qualifiers to determine their representatives. Final slot allocation will be determined when team registration has concluded.http://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2015/06/18/09/23/150618-usoc-2016-amateur-qualifying-format-rel New Amateur Team Qualifying Process for 2016 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup ussoccer.com September 18, 2015http://thecup.us/2015/09/16/2016-us-open-cup-qualifying-open-division-tournament-begins-in-october-pdl-gets-15-spots-npsl-gets-13/ 2016 US Open Cup qualifying: Open division tournament begins in October; PDL gets 15 spots, NPSL gets 13 thecup.us September 16, 2015 September 19, 2015 As of September 8, 2015, US Soccer has made the decision to ban all lower division teams that are majority owned by a higher division team.
