As the tournament was already being run mainly by the IGLFA, soccer was just one of three sports to have survived when the OutGames officials announced the morning that the OutGames were to begin that most sporting events and all non-sporting events of the OutGames were to be cancelled, due to a combination of poor turnout for other sports and poor organizational skills by the OutGames officials.
Tournament structure
The Unity Cup ended up unique among IGLFA tournaments in that the "divisions" normally used by IGLFA were determined by the results of the first round of play, as opposed to teams playing in separate divisions based on registration. The teams were divided into two groups of three and two groups of five. The teams in groups A and B played all opponents in both groups A and B, for five total group stage games. The teams in groups C and D played all opponent in the opposite group, also for five total group stage games. The four first-place teams at the end of the group stage qualified for the Div. 1 semifinals, while the four second-place teams qualified for the Div. 2 semifinals. Both sets of semifinals were A vs C and B vs D. This was not the original structure of the tournament, based on the list shown at the Miami OutGames Soccer page which does show registered divisions; the change is likely a function of the collapse of the OutGames. The groups and playoffs structure still reflect this original structure, as the original Division 1 had just six teams, with the Division 1 playoffs being listed on official posters on the A/B half.
Participating clubs
Three teams had originally registered for the tournament but ultimately did not participate: two registered Men's/Mixed Div.2 teams and one registered women's team. One participating team - Pan Copenhagen - does not appear to have originally registered. All four teams that qualified for the Div.1 playoffs had originally registered as Div.1 teams; a fifth qualified for and won the Div.2 playoffs.
