NABA LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP REWARD PROGRAM
The NABA will offer every league president across the nation
who is affiliated with the
NABA an award for each team league champion and league
runner-up within your
league. The award is based on:
1. Giving our teams and
players an advantage for being an NABA affiliated team
and player; and by giving our League Champions and League
Runner-ups an
incentive and discount to participate in our World Series.
2. Giving our league president’s an advantage for being
an NABA affiliated league,
and giving them another strategic advantage or benefit to
offer teams to come into
their league.
3. Giving the NABA national office another benefit to
offer only our NABA
affiliated leagues and teams; and the opportunity to improve
attendance at our
World Series tournaments.
Each League President across the country will be able to
award each league champion in
their league with a $700.00 gift certificate, and each
League Runner-up with a $350.00
gift certificate to the NABA Phoenix World Series or the
NABA Florida World Series
every year. This program is for League Champions only, and
not for Division Winners.
Each League President can immediately start advertising to
all its teams and potential
teams the opportunity for a certificate to the NABA World
Series for winning the league
or for being a league runner-up. Breaking down the costs for
a team going to the World
Series is significant. The cost to the NABA World Series is
$175 per player. The
average team size for a World Series roster is 13 players.
This would reduce the cost for
each player by $53.00 for a league champion and by $27.00
for a league runner-up. It
would bring the price of a World Series entry fee to $122.00
per player for a league
champion and $148.00 per player for a league runner-up.
Never before has there been an
opportunity like this to reduce the costs to come to our
World Series. In fact, since the
NABA World Series in 1995, the per player cost was $150.00,
thus giving players costs
that are below the rates from over 14 years ago.
Each League President must have verifiable proof of each
team being a league champion
or runner-up in their league, and must submit their league
champions’ runner-ups’ to the
National Office by the Tuesday after Labor Day in September.
If a league champion will
not be determined until after Labor Day, then the League
President must submit their
League Champion the day after they have won the league. The
NABA will then forward
a gift certificate to the team manager who won the league
title. The NABA will have a
form posted on the League President’s Dugout for completion
of the certificate. The
certificate will be valid for the current year’s Phoenix and
Florida World Series. It will
not be transferrable to any other tournament and will not
carry over to the following year.
It must be used in the year they have won the league
championship.
Our goal is to give our teams an advantage for being an
NABA affiliated team, and the
opportunity to reduce their costs per player to the World
Series. Our goal is give our
League President’s another benefit as to why teams may
choose to participate in their
league versus another league. Finally, our goal is to
improve the attendance of our
NABA World Series with NABA teams and make them viably
strong for future
tournaments.
Your participation in this program will only go as far as
your enthusiasm for it, and your
enthusiasm to promote it to your teams, and by those
potential teams playing in your
league. If you have any questions regarding this program,
please do not hesitate to
contact the National Office.
Please note: The certificate can only be used for a
complete team. No individual
players or partial teams allowed to use the certificate.
Certificates are non-
transferable to other teams and cannot be redeemed
for cash. By using the
certificate, the team using it agrees it must stay at one of
the NABA host hotels.
NABA reserves the right to refuse any team permission to
utilize a certificate or
participate in an NABA Sanctioned Tournament. Please
present the certificate at
check-in. The certificate can not be used for a deposit
into the tournament.
