Deposits help protect both NCS and the teams that are committed to playing. Teams are much more likely to show when they have skin in the game, rather than signing up while hoping to find enough players.

⚠️ Once your deposit is made, the remaining balance is due BEFORE your 1st game — CASH ONLY.

🚨 IMPORTANT — SCHEDULE RELEASE POLICY 🚨
Once schedules are released, your team is responsible for the FULL ENTRY FEE.

We want to protect the teams that show up ready to compete from having to take forfeits because another team no-shows.

🥎 COED FORMAT — 5/5 OR 6/6

If you hit 5 men, you must hit 5 women.
If you hit 6 men, you must hit 6 women.

You may have more women in the lineup — just not more men.

🔀 DIVISIONS / RUN SPOTS

Division slots are subject to adjustment as divisions fill.

Tournament directors reserve the right to combine, split, or adjust divisions based on registration.

If divisions need to be combined, the NCS run-spot system will be used.

Example: If Coed Rec has to play in Coed E, the Rec team will receive a 5-run spot.
