NIT
events will award 1 berth for each 5 teams participating per age group.
Example (5-9 teams=1 berth / 10-14 =2 berths / 15-19 = 3 berths etc).

Do we need a certain number of points?
At this time, USFA does not require teams to earn a specific amount
of points
as long as they have met the other qualifications above.
However, the more points you earn, the higher seeding you will
receive:
Double elimination play in both the State tournament and World
Series will be seeded based on the following point structure: The
more points a team has accumulated the higher the seed they will
receive.
Team will be awarded seeding points for all USFA events in which
they participate regardless of the state. Teams will earn
double points at NITs amd triple points at the State Tournament.
Teams
must attend the state tournament in the state in which they
are sanctioned.
Exception:
Teams who receive an automatic bid at a Regional NIT event are not
required to attend their state tournament, however it is recommended
that you attend the state tournament to receive more points toward
World Series seeding.
Teams without a State or Regional Qualifying Tournament may qualify
in a neighboring state. If there are no USFA events within a
suitable distance, your team may request an at large berth.
