How does a player qualify for the National Championship?

Each PLAYER on the winning team of each of our (10) qualifying tournaments will receive an Automatic Berth to the National Championship! We'll then fill in the remaining spots to fill the (288) player roster by taking the top 2024 Point Leaders following the final event of the 2024 season.

If our team wins a '24 qualifying tournament, are we playing together as a team in the national championship

No. You qualify to participate in the National Championship as a PLAYER, not a team. If your team WINS one of the qualifying tournaments, EACH PLAYER on that team will get an Individual PLAYER Berth to the National Championships. New teams will be drafted for the National Championship. 

What is the tie breaker if there is a tie to qualify?

We will use the highest AVG points per tournament played for those tied players. If there is a further tie, we will use who had the highest team place/result of any tournament.

IE: Peter, Paul and Mary are all tied at 480pts, and we need (2) people to get in. Peter has played in 2 tournaments this season (240pts/tourny avg) with highest finish of 4th place. Paul has played in 3 tournaments this season (160pts/Tourney) with highest finish of 5th/6th, and Mary has played in 3 tournaments this season (160pts/Tourney) with highest finish of 7th/8th. PETER has the highest avg of 240 so he will get the 1st spot. Paul and Mary are tied in avg, so we move on to the highest finish. PAUL would get in, as he had a higher finish at 5th/6th over Mary's 7th/8th

How/when will teams be drafted for the national championship?

Teams will be drafted for the National Championship the FRIDAY NIGHT January 10, 2025 of the National Championship Tournament at the Meet and Greet in Ft Lauderdale, FL.

We will assign each of the (26) teams a "TEAM CAPTAIN" by electing the Top 26 Point Leaders for 2024 and letting them DRAFT their own team using the remaining qualified/invited players. The Top 2024 Point Leader will have 1st pick overall, followed by the 2nd place point leader, 3rd place point leader and so on. The draft will be in a "SNAKE" format, and all females will need to be divided up equally (no team will have more than 1 more female than any other). Players bios (positions played) will be available for Team Captains to review, as they try to Draft their "National Championship Team"!

What will be the tournament format for the national championship?

The National Championship will offer a 2 game play-in, into a seeded double elimination Championship bracket.

Will there be a charge to play in the national championship?

If you qualify, there will be a non-refundable $99 registration fee due by November 15th, 2024 which will include (2) Special Edition Spiderz National Championship Jerseys and a Hat/Headband/or Visor
