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.

Site Closure on 9/28/19

Due to concerns over player safety, play was suspended for the remainder of the day in Division 1, Division 3 and Division 10.  We are working on contingency plans and will be in contact with Club Directors.  Please contact your respective club leadership if you have questions regarding this event.

Per Region policy, teams in these divisions will retain their seed for the next Boys tournament; no movement into or out of these divisions will occur prior, unless matches can be rescheduled in a timely manner.
