In 2001, the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) changed its tournament structure by spliting the country into East and West National Championships. The winners of each division advance to the USA Softball National Championship Series.
Teams have ability to qualify through numerous state, regional and national events. Qualified teams then advance to the East or West National Championship to compete for a trip to Montgomery, AL, and the USA Softball National Championship Series.
Winners of the East/West National Championships are awarded 15 round-trip airline tickets and eight hotel rooms. At the conclusion of the USA Softball National Championship Series, each of these teams can boast they are the “Best of the Best” and the only true national champion.
