With an uneven schedule this year between the Sounders, Portland Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps, members of the Cascadia Cup Council had to drop one of their matchups from counting in the annual Pacific Northwest competition standings
One of the disadvantages of an unbalanced schedule is that’s it can be tough to have the results count towards some type of prize within a season.
That was the quandry facing the Cascadia Cup this year as the Sounders, Portland Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps don’t face each other an equal number of times. The Sounders and Timbers play three times while they each face the Whitecaps twice.
