The 2007 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup ran from June through October, 2007. Pairings for the competition were announced on Tuesday, May 29, 2007. The 2007 tournament was be the first since 2002 to not include all Major League Soccer teams. Instead, MLS had 8 teams in the tournament; six qualified automatically, while the remaining 6 US-based sides participated in a playoff for the final two positions.[1] In another change for the tournament, all 9 US-based USL First Division teams entered into the Cup. The Puerto Rico Islanders are not eligible for the tournament, as Puerto Rico has a soccer federation independent from US Soccer.
