Open #1 - 1/6/18

OPEN SEEDING TOURNAMENT FORMAT

  • Coaches Meeting: 8:30 START Time
  • Tournament START Time:  9 am
  • Check-in should be completed at the tournament desk prior to the Coach's meeting. A picture ID for each coach on the roster is required along with a medical release form for each player on the roster. We understand that not all WebPoint rosters are complete.  Please provide your WebPoint roster if it is ready (contact your club director regarding missing players/coaches).  If your roster is not ready, please provide a copy of your team registration form to the site director.
  • Format - Teams are snake seeded into pools of 4 within either the top half or bottom half of the open division. Pool play will be followed by a crosspool match with 1 v 2 and 3 v 4 (standing as a result of pool play) with the other corresponding pool at the same site (e.g. A1-1 cross with A2-2, A1-2 with A2-1). Following this tournament, teams will be moved up/down a quartile and reseeded for the next seeding tournament. Match play is best 2 of 3 sets to 25, 3rd set to 15, if needed.  No tie breaker sets will be played.  Ties will be resolved by the standard procedure: 2 way tie = head-to-head; 3 way tie = set % (sets won / total sets played), then if needed point % (points won / total points played) -- at no time will head-to-head apply in a 3 way tie.
  • Pool N is a 5 team pool that will not have any cross-pool matches.

Restrictions will be in place until such time as COVID-19 is no longer in the pandemic stage. These restrictions are to preserve the health and safety of our participants as well as allow the facilities we use to remain open for business. Those violating any of the restrictions will be asked to leave the premises and not return.

SPECTATORS: Spectators are not restricted. 

MASKS:  Spectators are encouraged to wear masks when inside the facilities when flu and COVID infections are running high.  Where social distancing cannot happen, all should wear a mask.  Reminder it is up to each individual to take care of their own health and do what is need to maintain their health - no matter what anyone else is doing.

TEAM CAMPS: Team camp areas should be restricted in size to provide social distancing and allow for the players and coaches to be present in the team camp.

REMINDER FOR TEAM CAMPS:  The AZ Region has a Pack It In, Pack It Out policy.  All team camps should be cleaned up at the end of the day and the trash from each team camp should be taken home to dispose of.  We need to help out the site directors and take our own trash home.
