State Cup

Maybe this requires a different thread.
How does State Cup work for the rest of the country?
A quick google search of Michigan, Illinois and Florida (I have soccer playing friends in those states) looks like they play in Spring and only at the U14 and older age groups.
Spring makes sense in the Midwest due to weather concerns. But are these newly formed teams or is it the same as their fall team? When does tryout madness/cup tie rostering take place in other areas?

Starts on Nov 11th and finishes on Nov 19th

I have no reason whatsoever to doubt you, but may I ask how you know this for sure?

It is how its been for a while. Playoffs start the second week of November and end the following week, which is the week before Thanksgiving.

Unless there is rain. Looks like the 2003 Group last year took a few weeks.
