Here’s the full fixture list for both the 2018/19 EPSA Open Cup and Amateur Cup. VE Majors are the defending State Open Cup champions while West Chester Majors are the defending State Amateur Cup champions.
Both the 2018/19 State Open Cup and Amateur Cup champions will represent the EPSA at the USASA Region I Tournament next Spring.
The 2019 USASA Region I winners of both cups will then advance to the 2019 USASA Nationals where they will battle the other three Regional winners from Region II, III, and IV.
The 2019 USASA National Amateur Cup champions will receive a cash prize of USD $15,000 and an automatic slot in the 2020 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup first round.
