| For the second consecutive year, each MLS team will enter the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Eight MLS squads will enter the fourth round of this year’s tournament based on their 2003 regular season finish in the MLS standings. The remaining two MLS teams (Dallas Burn & Columbus Crew) will enter the Open Cup in the third round. The two squads will not face-off in the third round but may square off against an MLS team in the fourth round depending on the geographical pairings. |
