Copa Tejas is the name of the cup competition and trophy created in 2019 by supporters of San Antonio FC, which is awarded each season to the team who compiles the best head-to-head record against each other among the USL Championship teams in Texas.[1] It was first contested in 2019 and was won by Austin Bold FC.

History

San Antonio FC and Rio Grande Valley FC have competed in the USL since 2016, participating in their own rivalry: the South Texas Derby. With the addition of Austin and El Paso in the 2019 season, the Copa Tejas was created.[2]

Austin claimed the inaugural Copa Tejas with a 3-0 win over RGV on September 1, 2019. They finished top of the table with a 3-2-1 (W-D-L) record and 11 points.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the rescheduling of the 2020 USL Championship season into group play, whereas El Paso was not included in the group with the other Texas teams, and that there would not be a "fair round-robin format", the Copa Tejas was not awarded in 2020.[3]

Scoring

The Copa Tejas format is similar to the Cascadia Cup. Points are earned during the regular season: three for a victory, one for a draw, and no points for a loss. The team that accumulates the most points during the regular USL season, excluding possible U.S. Open Cup match ups and league playoffs, will be awarded the trophy in October and will keep it and bragging rights for a year. If a tiebreaker is necessary, it will be determined from goal differential and other criteria.

The winner each year is decided by these criteria, in order:[4]

  • Greater number of points earned in matches between the teams concerned
  • Greater goal difference in matches between the teams concerned
  • Greater number of goals scored in matches between the teams concerned
  • Reapply first three criteria if two or more teams are still tied
  • Greater goal difference in all cup matches
  • Greater number of goals scored in all cup matches
  • Smaller number of disciplinary points in all cup matches (yellow = 1 point, red = 2 points)
