MISO ROBLEDO CUP
(Open Cup)
The MISO Open "ROBLEDO" Cup is a competition among all MISO Open Division teams (Div I & Div II) plus other guest teams from the State of Hawaii. It is named after Cesar Robledo, who played a major role on getting MISO started. He later became MISO's first President.
Thanks to our sponsors, since the 2006 edition teams play for monetary prizes starting with the 2nd round. The monetary value increases with each round thereafter.
This competition, is composed of 5 rounds, similar to the UEFA Champions League.
