Boys Tournament Format
Coaches Meeting: 8:30 START Time
Tournament START Time: 9 am
Check-in should be completed at the tournament desk prior to 8:30 am. A picture ID for each coach on the roster is required along with a medical release form for each player on the roster. There is an 8 point penalty to the team's first match if the coach is not checked in BEFORE 8:30 am and does not attend the Coach's meeting.
Rosters are required to have correct jersey numbers. The rosters will be checked off by the site director at check in.
Format - Teams are straight seeded into pools of 8 or less. Teams are divided into sub-pools. Play begins with pool play within the sub-pools. Once pool play is completed, cross-pool matches will determine final places in the overall Pool. Three teams will move up, three teams will move down and 2 teams will stay in the division. The teams will stay as they finished after play in tournament #5 for seeding into the Region Championships - no movement up or down.
No teams will move between the Open and 14s divisions.
Match play is best 2 of 3 sets to 25, 3rd set to 15, if needed. Ties will be resolved by the new USAV procedure adopted for 2020 (paraphrased as follows):
2 way tie by match % - the head to head winner of those 2 teams earns the higher pool finish
3 way tie by match % - finish determined by set % (sets won / total sets played)
if 2 teams are tied by set % after one team's finish is determined by having the highest or lowest set %, then the head to head winner of those 2 teams earns the higher pool finish
3 way tie by match % and set % - finish determined by point % (points won / total points played)
if 2 teams are tied by point % after one team's finish is determined by having the highest or lowest point %, then the head to head winner of those 2 teams earns the higher pool finish
Please note: for any 3 team division, the 3 team pool will play auto 3 sets to 25 (if one team wins the first 2 sets, the 3rd set will not be considered in set % and point % calculations in the event of a 3-way pool tie). This is not optional.
