So it looks in addition to the USCS State Cups which lead to the USCS National Cup with mostly NPL teams, they have now added the NEP Premier Cup for the next level down which takes top NEP Premiership teams and does a crossover final 4 with top NSL teams which leads to USYS Regionals in PA.

So clearly MYSA realizes that now both NEP and NSL are US Club Soccer leagues, that it needed to partner up with them, in order to provide a USYS state champion that was at least not a town travel team. It still will the weaker of the two state cups (hence the new name of “Premier Cup”), but still better than just Maple/NSL representing. At least we’ll get an answer which league (NEP or NSL) has the best of the best 3rd & 4th tier teams in the state.
