        Do we need a certain number of points?

At this time, USFA does not require teams to earn a specific amount of points
as long as they have met the other qualifications above.

However, the more points you earn, the higher seeding you will receive:
Double elimination play in both the State tournament and World Series will be seeded based on the following point structure: The more points a team has accumulated the higher the seed they will receive.

Team will be awarded seeding points for all USFA events in which they participate regardless of the state. Teams will earn double points at NITs amd triple points at the State Tournament.

Teams must attend the state tournament in the state in which they are sanctioned.

Exception:
Team who receive an automatic bid at a Regional NIT event are not required to attend their state tournament, however it is recommended that you attend the state tournament to receive more points toward World Series seeding.
