Tournament of Champions

(Juniors, Intermediate, Majors, AAA, AA) The Tournament of Champions (TOC) is a single elimination tournament between the top teams from leagues within District 55 (i.e. Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, etc).  D55 will allow the top team in Juniors, Intermediate, Majors, AAA and AA as determined by regular season record to compete in the TOC. 

Rules for TOC play differ from the regular season rules in effect in NWLL. As such, umpires, managers, coaches, scorekeepers and tournament directors must undergo mandatory training.
