Tournament Format

Note: SSWC reserves the right to combine divisions of three or fewer teams within one age level and/or skill level.

Canadian Teams Qualifying for the Senior Softball USA’s TOC and World Championships.

All Canadian teams competing in the World Championships or TOC Qualifiers held in Canada may only carry Canadian players. These include the Bill Miller Can-Am, the National and Provincial Championships.

These Canadian teams must let Slo-Pitch National know they are planning on using their rosters for the World Championships and/or TOC.  Slo-Pitch National will inform SSUSA of the teams interested in playing in the World Championships and/or TOC and send manager contact information with any team information (age/rating).

SSUSA Roster staff will be available to review the rosters of any of the teams interested in using the SPN Championships for the TOC and/or World Championships.  Please note that teams need to win their division to be invited to the TOC.

Teams may only compete in one division and must make any changes to their rosters 4 weeks before the World Championships and/or TOC.  Teams adding players for TOC/Worlds should see the restrictions below.

Teams must compete in the age category that they win their berth in. Qualifiers may not be transferred to different age categories.

Players on teams playing in the TOC must be of the correct age in 2025 (the TOC is played in January of 2026).

Slo-Pitch National will make recommendations on the ratings on Canadian teams.

Roster Rules

If a participating team has less than six players remaining from the original Qualifying roster, that team is considered a 'new team' and is not eligible to participate in any of the special tournaments (TOC & WORLDS).

There are four special tournaments in which teams are required to use a 2025 National Qualifying Roster to enter:

The SSUSA World Championships, Western and Eastern National Championships and Tournament of Champions are premier events on the SSUSA Tournament calendar. Teams participating in those tournaments must designate a “Qualifying Roster” from a prior SSUSA event to be used as the starting point for their Eastern or Western Nationals, World Championships or TOC roster. NOTE: Only teams winning their divisions in TOC Qualifying Tournaments are invited to the Tournament of Champions.

For these four special tournaments, SSUSA believes that: 

1. Participating teams should play with the same roster, or as close as reasonably possible, to the roster they used in their designated Qualifying tournament. This is to ensure a ‘level playing field’ for all teams.
2. Due to a variety of legitimate circumstances, some teams may not be able to bring the exact same players to these premier tournaments that were on their Qualifying roster.
3. Any team participating in these four tournaments that needs to add players should have up to five reserves available on their roster. Thus, teams that add players, and normally play with 10 defensive players, will have a roster limit of 15 players, and teams that normally play with 11 defensive players will have a roster limit of 16 players. NOTE: An invited team may have more than 15/16 players on its roster if that team is not adding players.
4. If a participating team has at least 15 (or 16, depending on the number of defensive players normally used) from the original Qualifying roster, that team is prohibited from adding players.
5. Managers may request to add players who are regular members of the team but were not able to attend the Qualifying tournament. Managers must APPLY to SSUSA for approval of these players in writing. These players are approved or denied on an individual basis.
6. Any player from the original Qualifying roster not planning to attend one of the four special tournaments and who’s spot on the roster was filled by another player not on the original roster is considered removed from the Qualifying roster. That player is not eligible to participate unless a recently added player is removed from the roster and the original player is reinstated to both rosters, thereby maintaining the 15/16 player roster limit.
7. Women’s Senior teams (55+ and older) and Men’s 85+ teams are generally exempt from these Qualifying roster provisions and may add otherwise eligible (as to age and residency) up to a maximum of 20 players. 

‘Roster Exemption Player’ requests may be sent to the SSUSA Home Office by e-mail to info@seniorsoftball.com. Inquiries are always welcome in the SSUSA offices at (916) 326.5303.
