The National Amateur Baseball Federation (NABF) was established at an organizational meeting in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1914, and is the oldest continually operated national baseball organization in the country.
The NABF is a nonprofit organization run by a number of Officers and Directors from all parts of the United States. These volunteers help keep the organization running smoothly, as regional and national championship tournaments are held coast to coast.
NABF hosts over 50 regional tournaments, plus eight national championship tournaments, throughout the year.
The NABF is based on the idea that teams should represent leagues in national competition. For each league of four or more teams, a team from each league is assigned to a regional tournament. For this reason, the NABF does not charge each team in the league. The NABF charges the league as a whole, a franchise fee that covers as many age groups as the league has. For instance, if your league has all eight age groups, you will pay the same amount as a league that has only one age group. However, for each team that the league sends to a regional, a tournament fee must be paid:
franchise fee = $250.00
tournament fee = $350.00 per team in a regional tournament
Add $100 for teams going directly to World Series
