TEAM RESPONSIBILITIES

We will provide scorekeepers. However, each team will be responsible for one person to help work the score table when the team is playing. One team’s person will do libero tracking while the other team’s person will flip the score. This can be done by a parent on the team as well as any student. And you can alternate who does this job throughout the day.

FORMAT

The tournament is a one-day event. 

Every team is guaranteed the number of sets equal to 5 matches. Aka, each team will play a minimum of 10 sets. The maximum number of sets played will be 15 as to fall in line with the VHSL set and match limits for tournaments.

Pool play will take place in the morning followed by playoffs in the afternoon.

We will have 2 divisions of Boys Varsity, 4 divisions of Girls Varsity, 2 division of Girls Junior Varsity.

We aim for all divisions to have 4 pools of 4 teams. However, the format for each division will depend on the number of teams with the potential of pools having 3 teams.
