   To Be the Best - You Must Play the Best!

Super Series Baseball introduces the SUPER 16!  This tournament series is not for sandbaggers, whiners, nor cheaters.  It's hardball at its best - to determine which teams in ages 9U thru 14U are truly the best in the nation!

Any team, with players from any U.S. state, regardless of classification, may enter any Super 16 Regional.  The top four teams in each age division, at each regional, that accept a berth in the National Championships will advance to Dallas, TX in July.

Super 16 Regional, and National Division State,  champions win a PAID ENTRY to the Super 16 National Championships. If a team qualifies, and declines the invitation to the Super 16 Championship, the berth passes to the next team (by order of finish) which accepts participation.

American and Minors teams which enter a Super 16 Regional, or National Division State Championship, but do not qualify, shall retain their original classification.

If you win it all - the Super 16 National Championship - the prize, and the glory, is the best in youth baseball!  Many of the SUPER 16 CHAMPIONS will end up playing on national television at the National Youth Baseball Championships in August!

ANY TEAM of proper age, from any state, regardless of classification, may enter ANY Super 16 Regional tournament.

Should an American or Minors team enter, and not qualify, the team's original classification is retained. 

EVERY team must have a valid Super Series registration, certificate of insurance, and a completed Super 16 Declaration Form, (Form is Available Below) which must be remitted to the tournament director before commencing play.  A team is NOT entered until the entry fee has been paid to the tournament director.

With four teams emerging from each Super 16 Regional, and our National Division State Champs, we expect 48 to 64  teams in EVERY Super 16 National Championship age division! 

NO ROSTER ADDITIONS are allowed once the tournament has begun.

Competition offered for:
9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, and 14U (60/90)

The Super 16 Division classification is not something that a team "declares", but rather must be EARNED through qualification in a Super 16 Regional.  Your classification becomes "SUPER 16" only when you QUALIFY for the Super 16 Championships - and only for the remainder of the current season.

Any team finishing in the FINAL FOUR of a National Division qualifier tournament, or in the FINAL FOUR of a SUPER 16 REGIONAL, shall also earn valuable seeding points.  Seeding points will determine pool assignments in Super 16 Regionals, and in the Super 16 National Championships!  The Super Series national office will seed all Super 16 events based on points accumulated.  National Division qualifiers now are very valuable for acquiring points.

1) Twelve Super 16 Regionals will be presented in multiple regions of the nation. 

2) All teams entering the Super 16 Championships must be qualified in at least one regional event, OR by winning a National Division State Championship. 

3) The top four teams (which declare they will participate in advance) at each regional will be eligible to participate in the Super 16 Championships in late July, in Dallas.

4) If any top 4 finisher declines the berth, the next team in the regional order of finish will be invited to participate.

5) The CHAMPIONS of every SUPER 16 REGIONAL, and NATIONAL DIVISION STATE CHAMPIONS, will receive a PAID ENTRY to the SUPER 16 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS.

6) Teams MUST DECLARE whether they will accept, or decline, participation in the SUPER 16 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS before departing the Regional site.  Simply download the form below, complete the form, and present to the regional tournament director.  EVERY participating team must remit a form. 
(This is not something you can delay or postpone.  Have your team meeting and make your decision in advance of participation in the regionals.)
