US Soccer oversaw the qualifying process that was formerly handled by each association. All teams within the Division I and II professional leagues qualified automatically as in past years. Any open division national league could use its previous year's league standings as its qualification method. Remaining open division teams participated in qualifying rounds to determine entrants into the tournament proper. Final slot allocation was determined when team registration concluded.[1]

^b El Farolito joined the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) as an expansion team on November 20, 2017.[5] Clubs must remain playing members in good standing within their leagues from the date of the open division entry deadline through the date of the U.S. Open Cup Final in order to be eligible to compete in the U.S. Open Cup. Since El Farolito left the San Francisco Soccer Football League to join the NPSL, the club became ineligible for the 2018 U.S. Open Cup.[6]
gollark: ddg! chunks
gollark: What?
gollark: Anyway, norcam ekam ciryl, is just size probably fine for now™?
gollark: And yet they still have to do chunks?
gollark: See, using SQLite has a bunch of advantages:- faster than filesystems on smaller blobby data- relational and not just effectively a mapping of path to blobs (or textual data as git dislikes blobs)- eventually can swap in SQLCipher and encrypt everything
