 Who is eligible to participate 

Registered USSSA D and E teams are eligible to enter USA Global Series events. Each USA Global Series qualifier will offer 1 Men’s and 1 Women’s division.  

 Global Series Qualifier awards 

The highest finishing team that accepts the berth to the Global Games will receive $100.00 per team that is entered into that specific qualifier for travel money. The berth can be handed down, and if handed down the travel money is also handed down. 

 Roster Guidelines 

Rosters used in qualifying events in 2025 must meet D Division or below guidelines. 

If a team that earns a berth in 2025, is moved up in class for the 2026 season, all players that were on the roster in 2025 remain eligible. 

 If a qualified player has a C PRV in 2025 that is being removed from the 2026 roster, the manager can add another C PRV in 2026. If a player was a D Elite or lower in 2025, the manager is only allowed to add a D Elite or lower PRV rated player in 2026. 

 USA Global Games Qualified Teams 

Teams that win qualifiers and accept the USA Global Games berth, will have 45 days from the completion of the event to pay the Global Games entry fee. 

 If the winning team hands down the berth, teams next by placing in the qualifier will have 30 days from the notice of the berth to pay the Global Games entry fee.  

 Starting September 1, non-accepted berths will no longer be passed down.  

 Teams that qualify for the Global Games must participate in at least 3 USSSA tournaments from the event they qualified for and prior to the Global Games.  If no team from a specific qualifier attends the Global Games, travel funds generated from that qualifier will be split evenly between teams that do attend the Global Games.
