TheCup.us creates Twitter Open Cup - #OpenCupFan

We few faithful who have managed and operated TheCup.us since the site’s founding in 2002 have had a burning question searing in our heads lately. How can we get the fans out there to show their appreciation or love for the US Open Cup?

In the past few years, we have seen a greater percentage of clubs in Major League Soccer taking the cup more seriously on the field and many fans have also displayed the same respect for the tournament we have long held.

Now we are asking you to show that pride to the world in a super Twitter battle that is OPEN TO ALL (including the ACC/CFU event clubs), regardless if your team qualified or not.

#OpenCupFan

All you have to do is tweet mentioning @usopencup and #OpenCupFan along with the name of the club(s) you support (preferably using their twitter name). We will tally the results and announce after the completion of the US Open Cup Third Round (featuring MLS teams) which clubs have the best support overall and in each league.

Add a Slogan

Got a slogan or something creative to say to support the tourney? Include the hashtag #OpenCupFan and a panel will select the best for publication along with the Twitter battle voting updates and results. Your tweets only count once toward the tally, but feel free to submit as many #OpenCupFan comments as you wish. More importantly, make sure your friends and followers do the same!
