NCT Player Eligibility Requirements

The following requirements remain in effect for the current season.
  1. For Intercollegiate (National Championship Tournament) play, each institution designates a Honda Campus All-Star Challenge Varsity Team. This Varsity Team is composed of up to eight players, from which the five-member team traveling to any given tournament is selected. A Varsity Squad of eight players gives coaches the opportunity to work with a variety of combinations of players. It also provides the incentive for players to participate in the Campus Tournament, as selection of the Varsity Squad is not determined until after the tournament.

  2. The four members of the team which wins the Campus Tournament are automatically members of the Varsity Team. Up to four additional "All-Stars" from the Campus Tournament may be selected to be part of the Varsity Team. This allows strong players whose teams were not victorious to represent the school in Intercollegiate play.  Some schools automatically send the winning team to the National Championship Tournament, as this is part of the prize for winning. Others train with the Varsity Team for some months before determining which players will compete. Which of these eight players represent your institution is the decision of the coach. However, we recommend that schools select Varsity Teams.

  3. For any Intercollegiate tournament, only five of the eight players may be declared eligible to compete (four players and an alternate). For the National Championship Tournament, a member of the institution's faculty or staff is required to accompany the team. This person serves as the institution's official representative in resolving any situations that may arise (e.g., game logistics, team travel or personal emergencies).

  4. As of the 2001-2002 season, graduate students may not compete at the NCT. Any student who has received a Bachelor's degree from any institution is considered a graduate student for the purposes of eligibility.

  5. Students must carry 7 credit hours per semester or the quarter equivalent. Registrar verification that a lower second semester course load completes all degree requirements is acceptable in lieu of the term credit requirement.

  6. Each member of the Varsity Team must be registered in school for the terms during which any Campus and Intercollegiate matches are played in order to be eligible to compete.

  7. Each member of the Varsity Team must have played in at least one Campus Tournament game during that Honda Campus All-Star Challenge year.

  8. The composition of the Varsity Team should reflect the diversity and history of the institution.

  9. All players are limited to four years of Intercollegiate (Sectional and/or National Championship Tournament) play, regardless of institutional affiliation. This includes all play since the Honda Campus All-Star Challenge Campus Program began in 1989-90.

  10. Eligibility exceptions must be appealed to Honda Campus All-Star Challenge Headquarters directly.

  11. Institutions may add additional eligibility requirements by campus policy.
