Qualifiers are guaranteed first priority at signing up for the AFA National Championship! They also receive priority when it comes to scheduling and pool placement. Each year we do take some invites and registrants from areas where AFA is not currently hosting tournaments. Contact National Fastpitch Director, Glen Messick (818-389-3467), if you have any questions or interested in playing in the AFA National Championship.
Teams that place 1st and 2nd in their respective division in AFA sanctioned events receive a berth to attend AFA Nationals. (Some tournaments may provide additional berths beyond 1st and 2nd place.)
The top 4 teams from each division of the previous AFA National tournament receive berths to attend the AFA National Tournament.
State, Regional, and National Directors may provide “At Large” berths for teams to attend Nationals. Contact a director if you would like to be considered for an at large berth. (Receiving a berth means you have met all obligations to be able to register/qualify for nationals. Teams are still responsible for the associated entry.)
The 8u division automatically accepts all teams for Nationals.
