The Green Apple Tournament will follow the rules of play as described in the NAGVA Rules and Regulations.

NAGVA Rules and Regulations states in Section 6 that teams must provide a certified 1st referee and a certified scorekeeper for all matches. Further, the rules state that if a team cannot provide a certified 1st referee or certified scorekeeper, they must pay the cost of obtaining one from the tournament committee.  That fee will be $50 per position per match.

The Officiating and Scorekeeping Clinics are now online. Please go to the NAGVA Scorekeeper & Referee Exams for more information.

Teams without a NAGVA certified up-official or scorekeeper will be required to pay $50 per match per position.

If a team cannot provide a 1st referee or scorekeeper and does not pay the required fee, they WILL NOT play at the tournament and will not receive a refund.

Full refunds will be granted if requested prior to October 1, 2025
