2013–14 United States Open Cup for Arena Soccer
Football tournament season
The 2013–14 US Open Arena Soccer Championship is the sixth edition of an open knockout style tournament for arena/indoor soccer . In this edition, teams from the Professional Arena Soccer League , Premier Arena Soccer League , and other independent indoor soccer teams are participating in the single elimination tournament.
Unlike a traditional tournament where many teams will gather at a single site to play a series of matches in a short period of time, the US Open Arena Soccer Championship incorporates a series of qualifying tournaments, special matches, and the regular season meetings of teams in the Professional Arena Soccer League over a series of months to fill out then complete the tournament bracket . This non-linear format is how, for example, the Cleveland Freeze advanced to the Semi-finals before the Tulsa Revolution played its weather-delayed Round of 32 match.
After a three-year run by the San Diego Sockers , the 2012–13 Open Cup was won by the Detroit Waza .[ 1] Harrisburg Heat .
