Tournament Pricing BPA - NSA Tournaments


A new year brings some updates to Baseball Players Association (BPA) and National Softball Association (NSA).  For 2016, BPA and NSA have standardized the insurance requirements with Westpoint Insurance to maintain the pricing and excellent coverage for teams.  Coaches and team schedulers will notice that the insurance change also appears in the BPA and NSA tournament pricing.

The tournament pricing for each tournament will show two prices depending on if a team has the Westpoint insurance or not.  The first price listed from OnTurf Sports is the full price with no discount. Teams should consider purchasing the BPA or NSA Wespoint insurance policy. It applies to other sanctioned tournaments (check individual requirements), is in most cases the best insurance coverage AND is still cheaper than most policies that can be purchased!
  1. Teams Without Westpoint Insurance - Tournament directors will purchase a weekend policy for the team through Westpoint insurance to cover the team that does not have a BPA or NSA Westpoint insurance policy.  This allows teams to participate no matter what insurance policy they have besides BPA or NSA insurance.  Checks should be made for the entry fee price and online payments should use the full entry fee amount option.
  2. Teams With Westpoint Insurance - Teams that submit a BPA or NSA Westpoint insurance policy will receive an instant $25 discount from OnTurf Sports at the time of payment.  Checks can have the entry fee minus the $25 and online payments will offer the entry fee less the $25.

Examples:

  • Entry Fee for a team that does not have BPA Westpoint insurance is $425.  The tournament director will purchase a weekend policy to allow this team to play in the tournament.
