The USATH Competition Committee has decreed that the Elite Division at the 2022 USATH National Championships will have eight (8) teams.

This page shows the unofficial standings in the Race for the Eight for 2021/22.

San Francisco CalHeat

 
has automatically qualified as defending National Champion from the 2018/19 season.

Automatic slots are awarded to the two highest-placed teams in the NTHL.

NYC

 
has qualified as NTHL Champions.

NYAC

 
has qualified from the Wild Card positions.

In the event of a tie for a wild-card position, ties will break using the following guidelines:

1. Head-to-head results during Wild Card qualifiers.
2. The best record (Win–Draw–Loss) against other teams that have qualified for the ELITE division. Records will be assessed using a points system (Win = 2 points – Draw = 1 point – Loss = 0 points).
3. A playoff game to be played on the first day of the Open Club Championships.
