Teams can register for the various leagues on our Registrations page on our website. A Team can only register once per league, and should be done by the team captain. Full payment is to be made within the first week of the month before the league kicks off. Failure to do so will mean that your team will be taken off the roster, meaning that a new slot will be open to someone whom hasen't registered yet.
There is no limit as to how many leagues your team can register for throughout the year.

*Please keep in mind, that after you have successfully registered and paid, you will be required to participate in the entire league, and take part in all the games and stages as required.
*If you choose to not participate after successful registration, no fee's will be paid back to your team, as this forms part of the total prize pool.
*Withdrawals from the league/tournament after successful registration will not result in the return of your registration fees.
*Registration fees are non-refundable.
When making payements for the league you are entering into, please use your teams name as the reference, followed by the league name you are entering into.
Once all the registrations have been made, the teams will be displayed in the Fixtures window. Once you see which team you are competing against, it will be both teams responsibility to create and schedule the matches on the designated days between the designated times.
Here follow the play-off dates and times for ALL LEAGUES :
Tuesday Nights - 8pm to 12am
Thursday Nights - 8pm to 12am
Sunday Nights - 8pm to 12am
*The games consist of the best of 3. Teams will be required to play all 3 games, unless a team has won the first 2 games, then a winner is already decided, therefore the third game is not needed.
*The play-off structure is double elimination, except for the final.
*After each game, it is both teams responsibility to send screenshots of all 3 games to :
info@thenationalsa.com (Subject line of the email - "Team name VS Team name" Eg. "Sycthe VS Vipers")
*Note that all teams will be required to be available on each of these days between each of these times throughout the entire competition, as even if a team loses, they will keep on playing all the rounds throughout the league for our ranking system to be accurate.
*If a team cannot make the designated times, that team will automatically lose that round
*If both teams cannot make the designated times, it will be seen as a double loss for both teams. Next day rescheduling will not be accepted, and please understand this as it delays the fixtures, which results in a delay in the entire leagues. We are operating on a tight schedule, so please keep this in mind, and keep your reserves on standby.

- Only players registered in their teams are allowed to play for their team
- If a player with a different name playes for a team whom havent registered that player, that team automatically loses, even though that team might have won the best of 3 rounds.
Game Modes and gameplay
- All game modes during the various leagues have to be the following :
*Captain's Mode - Two players, one from each team (blue for radiant, pink for dire), take turns banning and picking Heroes for their team. Banning a hero removes it from the pool, making it unavailable to pick for either team.
If a player Disconnects
- If a player disconnects during picking phase, and it is a valid disconnect, like loadshedding, or running out of Data, or thinking our entire team disconnected, the picking phase will have to carry on, and then the game will have to be restarted by means of All Pick, and you will have to pick the same heroes as during captains mode.
- If a player disconnects during the game, you will be allowed to pause for a maximum of 5 minutes. In this time, the team can either tell that player to restart his pc/internet, and reconnect, or get one of the subs to log into that players steam account and join and play as him
- If a player rage quits, that round will not be replayed, and the outcome will count.
- If a player disconnects, and a dota 2 update is required before dota can be started up again, we ask the players to please be patient while the update continues. If the update is too big, for example 500mb, then that game will have to be played without that person, and the outcome will count.
