The two (2) unique schools that win a bid from the Spring Invitational will be invited to the USTA TOC National Championship the following academic year. 
 
These schools will also be required to participate in their respective  TOC Section Championship the following academic year in order to  “activate” their national bid.

If during the following academic year the school also becomes eligible for a bid from their TOC Section Championship, the invitational bid will take priority.

If schools are eligible for stipend money from their TOC Section Championship (based on the order of their finish), the USTA National office will match that stipend amount.

The Section office would pay the allotted stipend money to the Invitational bid winners from their section and be reimbursed by the USTA National office.

If a school finishes first in both the Invitational and their TOC Section Championship, their team photo for each respective event would be in included in the tournament program for the USTA TOC National Championship.

If one or both of the schools fail to meet the standards to “activate” their participation at nationals, then the 3rd place team (and subsequently 4th place team) from the Spring Invitation would be contacted for participation and eligibility.  If these teams failed to meet standards, then the bids would go back to the national championship to be distributed at the tournament director’s discretion. 

All NIRSA NCCS eligibility requirements for players will need to be met.

Schools must have participated in their TOC Section Championship during the current academic year to be eligible for participation and registration in the Spring Invitational event.  (noted exception:  Rocky Mountain Regional – Intermountain).
