Super Series Baseball was the creator
of the Winter Nationals in 2001. This year, we offer
Winter National Championships in both Texas and Florida!
Plus, we are offering early entry
discounts - the earlier your team enters,
the lower the cost! Due to the popularity of this
event, entries will be limited in some age divisions.
5 GAME GUARANTEE!
Three pool games for bracket
seeding, followed by
double elimination.
The top 16 teams will advance to the championship bracket.
Remaining teams will play a single-elimination consolation
bracket.
Championship game dates cannot be
determined until the total number of teams in each division
is determined. Super Series will not intentionally
delay the length of these events, but rather bring each to
conclusion in a reasonable manner to conserve team travel
costs.
