The Eastern Pennsylvania Challenge Cup is an open competition that draws teams that wish to participate in an EPYSA-wide competition which crowns a statewide champion.

The Challenge Cup for U-9 to U-17 boys and girls will be conducted during the March to May time period.

Any team participating in the 2010 EPYSA Challenge Cup will be ineligible to participate in the 2010 US Youth Soccer National Championship Series (NCS) or President’s Cup.

In the U-11 and U-12 EPYSA Challenge Cup age divisions, both an 11 v 11 format (maximum roster of 18 players) and an 8 v 8 format (maximum roster of 14 players) will be offered. Teams may enter only 1 competition: 8 v 8 OR 11 v 11.

The EPYSA Challenge Cup will be a World Cup format event for all ages. Games will be played at home/away fields. An age group requires four (4) teams for competition to be offered. If less than four (4) teams enter, combined age groups may be created at the discretion of the Cup Commissioner. The winners of the World Cup format brackets will advance to the appropriate single-elimination bracket (i.e. divisional playoffs, quarter-finals, semi-finals, etc.).

Competition will start after the roster freeze date—March 15, 2010.

The EPYSA Challenge Cup competition ends at the state level.
