Teams must be official USQ teams before registering for one of these events.
The registration process and requirements are the same for collegiate and club teams. Each will need to sign up for a USQ Team Membership. Teams will rank their top 3 National Qualifier choices upon team registration. On September 27, team preferences will be used to assign teams to a National Qualifier. For teams who register after September 27, USQ Gameplay and USQ Events will assign teams to National Qualifiers based on their preferences on a rolling basis.
Be sure to follow the deadlines above for the qualifier you are assigned to.
Teams will be contacted after rosters have been submitted to confirm that all participants are compliant with USQ (have a USQ membership, proof of enrollment if a college athlete, have completed necessary referee requirements). Any questions on member compliance can be directed to membership@usquadball.org.
Teams are required to provide referee crews and a flag runner to help fill several game slots. If a team does not fulfill their referee and flag runner obligations or their referees and flag runner do not show up for their games as assigned, they will be subject to forfeit for all remaining games of the tournament. More information on team requirements for officials is available here. Volunteering and officiating information is provided here.
The National Qualifier resource guide contains essential information for team leaders, coaches, and players. It will include a list of all policies attendees need to be aware of and a detailed schedule for the weekend. It will also have details about the area. The National Qualifier resource guide will be available at least 1.5 - 2 weeks before your event.
The process below could change before the start of a National Qualifier - please refer to your National Qualifier resource guide for the final plan.
Player check-in will happen on-site on Friday evening. We encourage teams to check in at the appropriate hotel on Friday night to avoid possible delays at the tournament site on Saturday morning.
Captains’ meetings will be held at the same spot as player check-in. Each meeting will be between USQ event staff and the captains.
