ESSC SuperCup

Before the first participation in a qualifying tournament, the fee of EUR 200 for the season must be paid in order for the team to receive the status of a Qualifier Team. Only these teams can qualify for and play at the ESSC SuperCup in October 2025.

If a team participates in a qualifying tournament and has not paid the qualifying team fee, the team will not receive any points from the tournament and will not be qualified through the tournament. The team will then participate in the tournament as a guest team until the fee is paid before the next tournament.

The final allocation of whether a team is a SuperCup, EuroCup or PremierCup team is determined by 360 Softball Europe.

No points but participation is counted.

• The points for a team will only be counted if all fees have been paid in advance.
• The ranking for the qualification is based on the number of points achieved by the respective teams.
• If a team has already qualified, the team will not receive any points. The points go to the next team in line. Example: If the SuperCup Champion wins the tournament, the second-placed team that has not yet qualified receives the 25 points for first place.
• The points of a guest team go to the next team in line.

There are player statistics for the SuperCup teams in the following tournaments: BarcelonaCup, Nieuwegein, Riccione and Brunssum.
The statistics of the three tournaments reflect the players’ season statistics.

• Once a SuperCup player is on the lineup or in the game for a SuperCup team in a qualifying tournament, they remain on that team’s roster for the qualification tournaments until the end of the ESSC SuperCup.
• All players must be registered online in the 360 system. For Privacy Policy (player data) see link
• SuperCup teams may include EuroCup players in a tournament, but these players are not locked to the team. They remain players of a EuroCup team.
• If a SuperCup player is released by their team organisation, the team may apply for Free Agent status. Upon approval, the player can transfer to another team once but cannot transfer back within the same season. Send request to 360@softballeurope.com
• The players of a team that did not qualify for the SuperCup in Regensburg are Free Agents and can play for another SuperCup team in Regensburg. They are not allowed to play for a EuroCup team.
• Only 1 USSSA Major or 1 Major Watch List player is allowed for the SuperCup category. The use of more players is the use of ineligible players.

• SuperCup players may not play for a EuroCup team in a qualifying tournament, a qualifying league or in the ESSC EuroCup.

In addition, all games of the EuroCup team in which the player has played will be forfeited.
• If a player who is not registered online takes part in a tournament, the player will be considered an ineligible player. The player will be blocked until an activation fee of 20 euros is paid to 360 Softball Europe and all previous games played which included the player will be a forfeit.
