Could anyone explain what is actually going on here?
Is this supposed to be:
a) a one-time celebration?
b) a bonus edition of Copa America with a couple North American teams
c) a new tournament that could possibly be the start of a new confederation?
And I know it's extremely early, so I won't be surprised if people don't know the answer to these questions, but:
a) are teams like Brazil and Argentina expected to bring their first team?
b) would the winner of this tournament get a spot in the Confederations Cup?
c) is there going to be a qualification stage for this tournament?

Yes with a possibility of c.. kinda. It's just a 100th anniversary edition of a tournament for the entire "Americas" both north and south. People are reading into it and predicting it's one step closer to CONMEBOL becoming the conference for both americas because it's a south american tourney being hosted in the US.. but I don't know if either side wants this.

I'd expect so, but only because they wouldn't want to lose the special tournament to us yankees. quote:
b) would the winner of this tournament get a spot in the Confederations Cup?
probably not, that would probably go to the normal Copa America winner in 2015, hard to change up another tournament's qualification because this one is a one time thing.

c) is there going to be a qualification stage for this tournament?
Probably just use the same teams from the 2015 edition?
again, but with only a 1 year gap between tournaments it'd be hard to have a full round of qualifiers. All of these are guesses, just what I'm trying to read into it.
