Do ECNL showcase games count in conference or Champions' League standings?
How will they determine the champions league field of 32? Just by your conference record alone? I would think they still need to consider games played at the showcases...I was told not this season as there are no wildcards. Particularly since they will be having ECNL's best players playing an all-star game on the first day of all showcases this season.

Gotcha. So in many cases top 4 teams will be slotted from each conference. I guess that makes sense.The field of 32 will be based on conference records. ECNL picked up a few more clubs. For example in the Southwest conference, 4 teams will now make champions league as opposed to 3. The conference grew by 2 clubs. Thus that eliminates one wildcard. I believe the northeast conference did the same.
But I am seeing “Open Cup” during the playoffs. Not sure what that is all about.

When I was growing up in the 70's and needed to find something out we would use Google. Or in this case just go to the ECNL website and look at their rules.Gotcha. So in many cases top 4 teams will be slotted from each conference. I guess that makes sense.
It appears to tie in the regional ECNL league teams with some ECNL teams.But I am seeing “Open Cup” during the playoffs. Not sure what that is all about.
