View source for 2008 U.S. Open Cup qualification

{{Use mdy dates|date=August 2023}}
This page describes the qualification procedure for the [[2008 U.S. Open Cup]].  This was the first season where 8 teams from each level of the [[American Soccer Pyramid]] competed in the tournament proper.  As a result, each level trimmed its ranks to its 8 team delegation before entering the full tournament.

==United Soccer Leagues (USL)==

===USL 1st Division (USL-1)===
All American-based USL-1 teams qualify.

===USL 2nd Division (USL-2)===

[[Harrisburg City Islanders]] (2007 USL-2 champions) and [[Richmond Kickers]] (2007 USL-2 Regular Season Champions) qualified based on their end of season performance in 2007.

Early season USL-2 games doubled as Open Cup qualification.  Because teams played an uneven number of games the percentage of "Points per Points Possible" was used to rank the teams.  All but the bottom-ranked team qualified for the tournament proper.
