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 within 3 different groups of the open division. Both days will consist of pool play only. Teams will be reseeded for the second round (Day 2) of the 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.
