NCT Qualification Part 1

Effective with the 2006-2007 season, qualification for the HCASC NCT is no longer only first-come, first served. The goal is to raise the standard for the level of competition at the NCT.

Participating institutions wishing to qualify MUST complete the Part 1 Qualification materials by December 7, 2007 and Part 2 Qualification materials by January 18, 2008 in order to be considered for the NCT.

The selection of the 64 institutions will involve a review of: level of student participation, quality of promotional efforts, an institution's historical record when attending the NCT, results from the campus tournament in the current season, personnel changes materially affecting an institution's potential preparedness and other factors that address the need to raise the calibre of the field.

Before completing the NCT Part 1 package, you must:

  1. Hold a Campus Tournament open to all students. A minimum of 10 teams and 40 students must compete in the Campus Tournament.
  2. Determine how you plan to select the NCT Team (5 players) which will attend the Nationals. We recommend that, following the Campus Tournament, schools form a Varsity Squad of 8-12 players. Usually the Varsity Squad includes the 4-5 players who won the Campus tournament, plus other strong players from among those who competed in the Campus Tournament. After some practice sessions, but by early December, the Coach or Campus Coordinator selects the 5 players for the NCT Team.

Use the following chart to locate and keep track of NCT Qualifiers Part 1 submissions required.
