STS and USAR held separate championships in 2023 and 2024. Both titles are listed because they had different fields and qualification systems. During those overlapping seasons, the STS Championship generally drew the stronger top-level field, so the two results should not be treated as equivalent wins at the same event.

Latest revision as of 03:33, 14 July 2026

United States roundnet national champions are the winners of the highest open division at the leading season-ending roundnet championships held for United States competitors. The Spikeball Tour Series (STS) operated a national event series beginning in 2014, and USA Roundnet (USAR) later established a separate national championship.

STS and USAR held separate championships in 2023 and 2024. Both titles are listed because they had different fields and qualification systems. During those overlapping seasons, the STS Championship generally drew the stronger top-level field, so the two results should not be treated as equivalent wins at the same event.

Naming

This page uses stable, year-first wiki titles even when an organizer's public branding changed from one season or page to another. The canonical championship names are:

Seasons Organizer or circuit Canonical wiki name Official names also used
2014–2021 Spikeball Tour Series (STS) STS National Championship Spikeball Roundnet Nationals; National Championship; Nationals
2022–2024 Spikeball Tour Series (STS) STS Championship The Spikeball Championship; Spikeball Tour Series Championship; The Championship
2023–2025 USA Roundnet (USAR) USAR National Championship USA Roundnet National Championship; US National Championship; US Nationals; US Roundnet Nationals
2026–present North American Tour Series (NATS) NATS Championship NATS Championship

The shorter forms above are labels, not additional tournament series. Edition pages place the year first—for example, 2024 STS Championship and 2025 USAR National Championship.

Champions

The champion is the winner of the highest open division, regardless of whether that division was called Advanced, Premier, or Pro in a given season.
