Teams Classifications
Any teams who have added new players from a higher classified team (IE D team adds a player from a C or above team) will need to submit a roster for review/classification determination prior to participating in NSA events.

Some of these teams are no longer together, or have combined with other teams and some didn't participate in the NSA program last year.
Teams who do not agree with their current classification can appeal.
To appeal your classification via mail -NSA, P.O. Box 444, Bellevue, Wa. 98009 or email to steve@nsawa.com. Please include in your appeal
 a complete list of the players that will be on the roster for the current year, what team, and level of play, each player played at in prior year and the reasons why you feel your team should be reclassified.

Also include what your teams post season aspirations are (IE State, Western Worlds or Super Worlds).  Teams who have Worlds aspirations, may be classified differently for instate qualifiers and for the State Tournament as opposed to their Worlds classification. Some teams may be on the bubble so to speak and may need to participate in a few qualifiers to determine where they may be eligible to compete for worlds. Example - D classified team may be eligible for E NIT/Worlds, but must play instate qualifiers and state as a D team.

Teams who will have a different world classification will need to participate in at least one NIT in their instate classification. Example D team (E World/NIT eligible) will need to participate in at least one D NIT to be eligible to go to E Western Worlds and E Super Worlds (team still earn a berth for Western and Super Worlds)

NSA of Washington realizes that instate competition and worlds competition are different and a majority of teams do not have world aspirations. Thus the possible different eligibility. NSA of Washington's thought process/reasoning is to promote a level playing field for both instate competition and worldscompetition

 

NON - CHAMPIONSHIP/WASHINGTON STATE ONLY TOURNAMENT RULES

1 General Rules: All Baters enter the batters box with a one (1) ball and one (1) strike count and has a courtey foul on the 3rd strike. Run rule (20 after 3, 15 after 4 and 10 after 4 1/2 innings) for Men’s C and below and all Women’s and Coed classes. For Men’s B and above 25 after 3, 20 after 4 and 15 after 4 1/2 innings. 1 courtesy runner is allowed in regular tournament play. 1 of each gender in Coed. The courtesy runner is the last out or the next available player. Courtesy runners are not allowed in post-season (NIT, Western and Super) play.

2 Men’s Home Run Rule: A dead ball out is assessed after the following home run limits have been reached: Men’s Open -8, One up, Men’s B -4, One up, Men’s C -2, One up, Men’s D - 1, One up to 2 max, Men’s E - 1, DBO, Progressive Penalty Men’s Rec -0, Double Progressive Penalty One up means that once both teams have reached the limit, above, that no team may be more than one home run ahead of the other team. Exception: Home team in bottom of official final inning cannot go one up. Progressive Penalty home run rule is in effect for E class teams. Once a player hits a home run, the batter is out and a run is awarded to the defensive team, the second home run the defensive team is awarded two runs, etc. Double Progressive Penalty home run rule is in effect for Rec class and is double the penalties for home runs as compared to the Progressive Penalty above.
Women’s and Coed divisions will mirror the Men’s Home Run rules per division of play.

3 Players: A team may bat 12 players (Coed 14). In non-post season play a team may start and/or finish the game with 9 players. When playing with 9 players, the vacant 10th spot will be considered an out. A team may add the 10th player at any time during the game at the bottom of the line-up. Pick up players will be as follows: Men’s B & C 1, Men’s D, E & Rec 2, Women’s 2, Coed 2. Pick up players must be on a registered NSA roster of the same class or lower.

4 Protest Committee: Tournament Director and UIC are the protest committee at each event. Picture ID must be provided upon request for deciding eligibility status.

5 Home Team: The Home Team will be decided by a coin flip. In the event of an equalizer, the higher classed team will have the choice if spotting runs. The home team is responsible for keeping the official score if an official scorekeeper is not provided.

6 Equalizer: Upper class teams will spot 4 runs per non. The lower team can either select the spot or the lower class home run rule. The lower class team must score ten runs plus the run spot to have the run rule come into play. The progressive penalty will not be used in an equalizer. Exception: E vs Rec - The E progressive home run rule will be in effect.

7 International Tie-Breaker: This rule will be used in extra inning games at the top of the extra inning or the time limit expires, whichever comes first. Start each extra inning with the last batter of the previous inning on second base, with no outs, and play regular rules until the tie is broken. This rule is not used in State, NIT, Western and Super play.

8 Scheduling: Tournament Director reserves the right to institute time limits, run rules, or run differentials appropriate to local field conditions and restrictions.

9 Unsportsmanlike Conduct: Ejection from a game will result in the possible ejection from one or more games or the entire tournament at the discretion of the tournament director.

10 Player Removal: If a player is removed from the game for any reason and a substitute is not available, an out will be taken in the batting order. If the team drops below 9 players, then the game is a forfeit.
