Leagues of Play

NTI AA, Classic (AAA), and Elite (High Level AAA and Major):

NTI offers three levels of play; NTI AA, NTI Classic and NTI Elite. The NTI AA league is setup for AA caliber, Classic play caters to AAA level teams and Elite play is for higher level AAA or Major level teams.

High caliber experienced independent teams that are 10U or older, are welcome to apply to NTI for acceptance into the Classic or Elite leagues. The AA league is reserved for only those teams sanctioned by a NTI Member Association.

	NTI AA	Classic	Elite
Age Groups	9u, 10u, 11u, 12u, 13u, 14u, 15-18u 9u will only have one class of play in the fall. 9u spring will support both NTI AA and Classic but not Elite. No 9u independent teams will be allowed in NTI Classic, or Elite. No independents will be allowed in NTI AA. Note Age 14U Classic and Elite will go to 60/90 pitching and base distances. Exceptions are granted to all associations that do not have fields available for 60/90 and in this case the 14U games will be played on 54/80 pitching and base distances. 14U AA will remain at 54/80.
End of Season Tournament Sping Only	All pre and post season tournaments will be an additional fee. NTI AA , Classic and possibly Elite will have an invitational USSSA sanctioned tournament to end the spring season. The league standings from the spring will be used to equitably divide the teams into pools for the tournament’s pool play. For example, an age group with 9 teams may place the teams into pools by the following seeds: Pool A: 1, 6, 7 Pool B: 2, 5, 8 Pool C: 3, 4, 9
Independent Teams Invited	No	Yes – Age 10 and older only Must go through NTI Competitive Review Process
Independent Approval Process	Independent teams must submit a form to the NTI 5 member board. The NTI 5 member board will review applications and determine if the team will make a strong competitive addition to NTI. A few items the NTI board will consider are: 1. Did the team play at least one year competing well at the AAA or Major level? 2. Will the majority of the past players be returning? 3. Is the team part of an organized program or club that has teams in multiple age groups? If the NTI Board feels the team will be a good addition to NTI, the team's application will be put forth to the NTI Independent Acceptance Committee(NIAC). The NIAC is includes the 5 NTI Board members and one member from each associations. The president or the NTI Rep. from the member association will be on the NIAC. A team is accepted if given a favorable two thirds (2/3) majority vote by the NIAC.
