ESSC EuroCup 2025

Before the first participation in a qualifying tournament, the fee of EUR 100 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 EuroCup/PremierCup 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 EuroCup or PremierCup team is determined by 360 Softball Europe.

The overview of the list of teams and which teams have already qualified can be found here.

All teams (including guest teams) must sign the insurance waiver. Send it to 360@softballeurope.com. Only then may teams participate in 360 competitions. Download the 2025 Insurance Waiver.

The points distribution for a tournament ranking is as follows:
Barcelona, Nieuwegein, Riccione, Brunssum, Vienna
1st: 25, 2nd: 18, 3rd: 15, 4th: 12, 5th: 10, 6th: 8, 7th: 6, 8th: 4, 9th: 2, 10th: 1

• 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 (or 10) points for first place.
• The points of a guest team go to the next team in line.
• No points are awarded for the 360 Catalunya. There is only a direct qualification.

For all qualification tournaments and the ESSC EuroCup:

• Balls: USA Softball (ASA) 12” .52/300 (hit your own balls)
• Bats: ASA/USA Softball bats and Legal USSSA (240 standard) bats

360 Softball Europe has the possibility to award wild cards to promote certain regions or to develop the sport.

• Only EuroCup players can participate in EuroCup qualification tournaments and in the ESSC EuroCup. However, EuroCup players are allowed to play for SuperCup teams.
• All players must be registered online in the 360 system. For Privacy Policy (player data) see link
• 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.
• Only players living or staying in Europe and the Middle East are eligible for the EuroCup, provided that the players correspond to the classification/level.
• No Major players or Major Watch List players are allowed.
• Only 3 players from other EuroCup teams can be on the team roster for a qualifying tournament, but may only play for that team at the tournament.
• If a EuroCup 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 EuroCup/PremierCup in Regensburg are Free Agents and can play for another team in Regensburg.
• SuperCup players may not play for a EuroCup team in a qualifying tournament or qualifying league. If this is the case, the SuperCup player is not eligible to play in the remaining qualifiers and the EuroCup team’s games will be forfeited.
• 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.

Qualification only means being able to register for the ESSC EuroCup/PremierCup. This is not a guaranteed spot for the tournament. Only with the full payment of the tournament fee for the ESSC EuroCup in Regensburg, the team is registered.

Player statistics are only automatically included for SuperCup teams in qualifying tournaments (through an increased registration fee). If a EuroCup team requests statistics at a qualifying tournament, the tournament fee for the team is increased by EUR 50. This must be announced when registering for the tournament.

Important: Any transaction costs or currency conversion costs resulting in the amount of the tournament fee not being paid in full will be charged (read Payment Policy)

The organizer of a qualifier tournament is a local host under the terms and conditions of 360 Softball Europe. The tournament fee is determined by the local host. 360 Softball Europe ensures that the quality complies with the guidelines and brand of the ESSC & 360 Softball Europe.

The tournament in Regensburg is organized directly by 360 Softball Europe

Guest teams are allowed as long as there are still open spots in a tournament that are not claimed by registered teams. A guest team can only participate once in a qualifier. If the team participates more than once, the team must register as a qualifier team.

A guest team cannot qualify and receives no points. The points of the guest team go to the next-ranked qualifying team.

The Global Games will take place in March and the World Cup in June.

A player registration fee for Europe is planned for the 2026 season.
