Arizona Region National Club Qualifier
March 17-18, 2012 - Ages 12's - 15's
March 31-April 1, 2012 - Ages 16's - 18's

Deadline to enter any division is Thursday, March 1st. No late entries will be accepted. A complete entry is the entry form - complete and signed by the club director - and entry fee in the Region Office by 5 pm on Mar 1st. Postmarked is not in the office. Faxed entries will not be accepted. Sites and times will be posted once the field is known and the format set.

The dates of the tournament are:

March 17 & 18 - Ages 12's - 15's AND March 31 - April 1, - Ages 16's - 18's.

The larger divisions will be played over two days. This was done to eliminate playing 4 or 5 matches in the same day. Depending on the number of courts available the National Club Qualifier teams may play on Saturday, Sunday or both days. Not all ages will play on both days of their respective weekend.

Coaches must bring a current WebPoint roster , medical release forms for each player on the roster, and a picture ID of all coaches that will be on the bench - do not assume we know who you are. If you do not have all of the required paperwork, your team will not be able to play.

Players that are not going to play with the team at the Jr Nationals should NOT participate in the tournament, be listed on the roster turned in or on the bench with the team that day.

Coaches Meetings are 1/2 hour prior to start time. Check in prior to Coaches Meeting. Start times are 9 am each day. All teams should be on site and ready to play the first match in the event a team drops or is late. Teams from one division may be called upon to help officiate another division on another court at any time during the day - unless they are playing a match.

Players that will not be attending the National tournament with their team are not eligible to participate in this qualifier tournament. Players that have participated in another JNQ may only participate with the same team as they participated with at any JNQ. One player may not participate with two different teams in an attempt to qualify for the National tournament - per USAV rules.

The actual brackets will be linked under the Division name below. These are subject to change if warranted.

The format sheet, location and start times will be posted on Monday prior to the tournament.

$250 of the entry fee will be refunded to each team that enters the tournament prior to the deadline and fully participates in the tournament (meaning does not withdraw after the entry deadline and does not forfeit any matches of the tournament). Any team that withdraws after the entry deadline will forfeit their full entry fee. The fee will be refunded if the club does not have a balance due to the Region.

PLEASE check with the team to make sure all are committed to attend if the team qualifies. If your team wins a bid and does not take the bid or pulls out of the National Championship (no matter what the cause) your CLUB will not be able to participate in ANY National Qualifiers in the 2013 season. This is a USAV rule for participating in the National Tournaments. This is a USAV national qualifier for Arizona Region bids. The same rules apply as if it was one of the 10 other JNQ's.

Third place is a qualifying position as an Alternate. Teams will be required to send in their entry materials for the American Division prior to the entry deadline and comply with all entry requirements in the event a team above them qualifies at another JNQ. This is so more Arizona teams may participate at the National tournament.

Seeding will be determined by the finish at the last tournament played. Open teams are seeded above Championship and Club teams.

The formats for the National Club Qualifier are as follows:

2 teams - head to head match

3 teams - three team pool followed by single elimination bracket for place

4 - 8 teams - double elimination bracket - may take place over two days

9+ teams - pool play followed by double elimination bracket for qualifying teams - will take place over two days - teams will be eliminated on the first day. Top two teams from the pool advance to Sunday.

Teams are listed alphabetically. The teams will be listed in seed order when the formats are posted. Formats will be posted on Wed prior to the appropriate weekend.
