Coaches Meeting: 7:30 am START Time (AM Wave), 2:30 pm (PM Wave)
Tournament START Time: 8 am (AM Wave) and 3 pm (PM Wave)
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. Please provide your verified SportsEngine or event specific AES roster (contact your club director regarding missing players/coaches). Hand written rosters or Team Registration forms will not be accepted.
It is the goal of the Arizona Region to supply a paid R1 for every court, every match. However, that is becoming increasingly hard to do. Each coach should bring a whistle and be prepared to R1 during their team ref assignments for every tournament. If you have a paid R1, that is a bonus. If you don't, you are prepared.
Format - Teams are straight seeded into pools of 6-8 teams. Teams will play standard region bracket formats. Following this tournament 4 teams will move up and 4 teams will move down a Division for the next tournament play (unless the next tournament is the Region Championship). 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
