Just stumbled across this...
web.mlsnet.com/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20071129&content_id=131334&vkey=pr_mls&fext=.jsp
The four teams to participate in the 2008 tournament are: reigning MLS Cup champion Houston Dynamo and Haleiwa, Hawaii native Brian Ching; the Yamazaki Nabisco Cup Champion Gamba Osaka, with 19-year-old Japanese sensation Michihiro Yasuda and J.League star Yasuhito Endo; the 2007 SuperLiga finalists Los Angeles Galaxy, whose international roster includes English superstar David Beckham and perennial MLS all-star Landon Donovan; and a club to qualify from the Hyundai A-League Final Series, which concludes in February 2008 ahead of the Pan-Pacific Championship.
One would have to assume that the team to qualify would be the Grand Final Winner... so that means Mariners could be the innaugural Pan Pacific Champions as well as A-League champions
