The National League Showcase Series provides cross-Conference matchups against teams from differing parts of the country — testing each player to adapt to various styles of play and new challenges that arise when facing uncommon opponents.

Meanwhile, the National League Playoffs provide a platform to determine the National League representatives to the annual USYS National Championships.

The Showcase Series and Playoffs comprise the national tier of the National League. At the multi-state tier, the National League features 13 Conferences that provide high-level league competition, as well as a pathway for advancement to the regional stage of the USYS National Championship Series.
