Congratulations on an outstanding season and welcome to the 2020 USSSA Fastpitch National Championships. The National Championship Tournament will be held in McKinney, Frisco and Plano, Texas. Games will be played July 23rd-26th 2020. We may have to add fields near the area depending on the amount of teams. This tournament will offer the following ages/divisions: 14 & Under Open, 16 & Under Open, and 18 & Under Open.

The USSSA Fastpitch program will use a 5 game format in its National Championship Tournament. Teams will be placed into pools randomly and play a round robin. All teams will be seeded into double elimination championship bracket following pool play. Seeding will be based on pool finish. The exact format of the tournament, e.g., number of games, number of teams in each pool, etc., will be set by the tournament director following USSSA Fastpitch guidelines as approved by the USSSA Fastpitch National Committee.

To guarantee your spot in the tournament, your team will need to complete the online entry process. All entries must be made through the www.usssa.com website. You will be required to submit your entry and payment online. At this point it will be subject to approval by your state director. Once approved, your entry will be considered complete for this National Championship Event. Official entry and payment process must be completed no later than July 8, 2020. The entry fee for 2020 will be $798. (This includes all umpire fees and balls and 3 Coaches passes)

All team rosters must be on the USSSA website, www.usssa.com, and all teams must adhere to all rules and regulations as outlined in the current edition of the USSSA Fastpitch playing rules and by-laws. All players shall have proof of age in possession of their team manager at all times, which must be verified by a government issued document that identifies the player by name, gender and birth date.

MVP of Pool Games:
