Becoming Spikeball Elite is one of the greatest achievements a team can accomplish in the sport of roundnet. Being Spikeball Elite means you are sponsored by Spikeball Inc, earn lucrative prizes, and gain eternal fame. Eligibility is determined by a team's total points accumulated from their top four tournament finishes compared to other teams throughout the season. Each year only 4 Open teams and 4 Women's teams make the cut.
