USSSA Points:

Teams can earn an At-Large berth by participating in USSSA events throughout the season. If a team earns 150 Points through USSSA participation they will automatically be granted an At-Large Berth.

State Director Application:

A team can apply for an At-Large Berth with their State Director.  For a team to be given an At-Large Berth by their State Director, it is recommended that they accrue a minimum of 4 USSSA Event Credits. NOTE: If your team is signed up a minimum of four events, you can go ahead and enter the National of your choosing prior to contacting the state office. USSSA Event Credits are earned by Stature of the event:

League/One Day Event/Qualifier = 1 Point

NIT = 2 Points

State Championship = 3 Points

Direct Event – Entry Qualification:

There are some National events that are direct enter Events. Those events only require that the team is registered with USSSA and pays their entry fee to attend.
