With the missing team, the tournament is now down to one group of four and one group of three. Region III Cup Commissioner Kim Bowen explained why.
"Region III policy mandates that all players participating in the Region III National Cup Competition must have international clearances if applicable. Their roster contained players that required clearances and they were either not requested or not received in time for the players to participate and the team could not field a competitive team."
The winner of each group will qualify for the U.S. Open Cup and will square off in the Region III Open Cup Final on Monday at 9:00 a.m.
