*If there are more than 10 teams in each division, there will be some games played on Friday evening. 

Age requirements: The registration system flags all participants that are not at the age minimum by the tournament date. There is no way to allow a player turning 30/40 within the same year. If the player is 39 at the time of the event, they cannot play in the over 40 division.

All players must be added to each team’s roster and register individually. Please select “Current Player” and upload a current NMSSA league passcard or purchase a tournament is you don’t currently play in one of our affiliated leagues. Out of town teams can submit a roster and provide the respective state association to avoid purchasing a tournament pass. These players will need to be verified through their state associations as affiliated teams through USASA.
