Sportsmanship Awards
Boys - 10U Lafayette YSA Fury 09 Coach David Suter
Girls - 10U Lafourche Legacy 09 Dev. Coach Benjamin Hodson
The Louisiana Open Cup is a single-weekend tournament for teams not competing in The State Cup, the Louisiana Presidents Cup or the Bob Abbott Cup - all Recreational teams and all LCSL teams in Division 3 or below at 13U and older. Seeding will be based upon requests of each team as well as results in the LCSL. Teams can opt to play in the Gold, Blue or Red Division. The goal is to permit teams to compete at a high level while still finding competitive parity between teams.
Hotels and Accommodations
The Louisiana Open Cup, like all Louisiana Soccer State Tournaments, is a "Stay to Play" tournament. This means all teams participating in "The Open" that are traveling from beyond a 100 mile radius of the tournament site, must book their accommodations through Anthony Travel. This was done to give our teams and soccer families the best available hotel benefits possible and to ensure all teams receive the protections LSA and Anthony Travel can negotiate with hotels.

Rainout / Make-up Weekend Refund Policy
In 2017 LSA started inserting a rainout weekend for the Bob Abbott Cup and the Open Cup into our state tournament schedule. However, in 2019 Easter is so late in the spring that we are unable to build in a Rainout date. Should either the Bob Abbott Cup or the Louisiana Open Cup be rained out in its entirety, teams will receive a refund. LSA will endeavor to cancel tournaments on or before the Thursday prior to the tournament so as to give participants and families time to cancel hotel reservations and travel plans.Deadlines
