Format Overview
There will be two divisions with group play to determine seeding and divisions. If there is a tie in team records after group play is finished, ties will be broken by head-to-head, least amount of runs scored upon through five innings, point differential through five innings, coin toss. Weather permitting everyone plays 6-7 games. There will be an hour and half time limit on each game except the championships. The time starts following the plate meeting. The home team will be determined by coin toss. The ten-run rule after five innings will be in affect the entire event. Games postponed due to rain will be rescheduled, if possible. Award ceremonies will follow each championship.
Eligibility Guidelines
Eligible NACA teams are primarily from Christian Schools, Homeschool programs, and Church Sponsored Organizations. Teams that are not associated with a Christian School, Homeschool program or church should contact the NACA office to determine eligibility and appropriate divisional placement. If your team is a “hybrid,” meaning you have athletes from another school/program on your roster, that athlete must actively play for your team throughout the season. No athlete that participates on more than one team is eligible for the NACA. All transfers to your school/program must be eligible, on your roster and competing in games at least 21 days before the first day of NACA competition. You may not pick up players from another school/program at the end of the season to participate at the NACA. All signatures verifying eligibility must be present on your NACA roster form.
With the exception of our Elite (Post Grad) Basketball Division, any athlete who reaches his/her 19th birthday before July 1 prior to the fall semester of the current school year is not eligible to compete at the NACA. Hardships are considered case by case.
