“THE” 2025 NSA 35 & Over World will once again be played at Lincoln Park in Columbus, IN on October 3-5. We will limit the number of teams entering the event this year to 64 total teams. I would encourage teams to enter soon to ensure a spot in the event. In addition, play will begin on Friday October 3 at 2PM EST. The 3 game bracket will be used as it has for several years, and when considering this format, the number of teams playing, and the light curfew of 11PM being in place, I feel the 2PM Start on Friday should keep the event on schedule.

The awards package will remain the same as in the past with the winning team in each division receiving rings (up to 13). Medals and sponsor awards will be given to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place as well as MVP and All-Tourney awards.

The event will again be sponsored by Dudley Softballs and teams will be required to hit a NSA approved Dudley softball. Each team will be provided 3 Dudley balls at check-in. Coaches are urged to contact Jim Kimmel to reserve Dudley balls for the weekend.

I have remained in contact with the Columbus Park Department concerning the installing of the artificial turf on the infields, and it has been decided that the installation of the turf will not begin until after the 2025 season. We were hoping to have the turf in place for the 35+; however, we will have to wait until 2026.
