The USSSA League Program is designed to be hassle free with the understanding that less is better. The rules by which a league is required to follow are very liberal because we fully understand that what may work in one community may not necessarily work in another.
The All-Star League format is designed for local league based programs that are accustomed to choosing an All-Star team or multiple All-Star teams at the end of the regular season schedule to represent the community in post-season tournament play. These leagues will play a regular season then choose (draft, pick, select) an All-Star Team or All-Star Teams for the USSSA State Championships Tournament and possibly World Series play. The selection of players to the All-Star Team(s) may be done by any system or format approved by the League Board of Directors or Chief Officer as long as such method is used consistently age division by age division throughout the league.
Qualifying for the All Star State and World Series Tournaments
USSSA now offers two divisions of post season play for Drafted League All Star teams, American and National League. Note: The National league is more restrictive than American League.
National Division:
Any team that participates as a league team in a drafted league that is registered with USSSA is eligible. This team must meet all of the criteria for being an allstar team with their league as well as with USSSA. To participate in this program the following conditions must be met.
