Qualification

You must have a current USSA Masters competition license to compete in regional and national championship events (no temporary weekend licenses). Competitor field size for the national championships is limited to 300 entries. Division quotas for nationals entries are established based on their percentage of registered masters licenses. Each division has a guaranteed minimum of 15 slots, with 20 reserved for Canadian competitors and an additional 50 slots allocated to the host division.

Each division determines their qualifying criteria for national championship entries. Entries should be submitted to your home division by Feb. 12. Division entries and fees will submitted to USSA by Feb. 15, 2010. Any remaining open slots after division quota entries are submitted will be awarded to waiting list entrants according to the total membership percentage of their division.

There is a $10 late fee for entries received after Feb. 25, 2010. Competitors must cancel two weeks prior to the event to receive a full refund. Masters who cancel within the two period are not entitled to full refund; refund percentage is at the discretion of the host area. Masters who cancel due to emergency or a recent (within the cancellation period injury) may be subject to a $20 service fee by the host area.
