Pool Play
For pools of 4 teams, the best
of 3 sets will win matches. Each non-deciding set will be won by
the team that first scores 25 points with a minimum 2-point
advantage (no scoring cap). If there is a deciding set, it will
be won by the team that first scores 15 points with a minimum
2-point advantage (no scoring cap). Change sides when a team earns
8
points. 
Pool Play Format

2 vs. 4 (1 refs)
1 vs. 4 (3 refs)
2 vs. 3 (1 refs)

*Officiating teams will have to provide a down official (R2), a
scorekeeper, a libero tracker, a flip-scorer, and 2 line judges. 
The R2 and Scorekeeper should report to the court official at the
coin toss. If they are not present by the beginning of the first
timed warm-up then one point will be given to their next
opponent, and one point will continue to be given for every minute
that
they are late. The rest of the support crew (line judges,
scoreboard
operator and libero tracker) must report to the court official no
later than the beginning of the second timed warm-up or a point
will be given to their next opponent. An additional point will be
given for every minute that the work crew is incomplete for their
officiating duties. If no additional matches are to be played in
that tournament, the tournament director shall file an incident
report with the OVR commissioner and a $50 fine shall be imposed.

Playoffs
All teams advance. All teams must be ranked within their pools
based on match percentage first. For any ties, use the
tie-breaking procedure
below. 
Playoff positions on the tournament brackets
will be based on pool finish to avoid teams from the same pool
playing each other in the first round.  First and second place in
the Gold division will be
given awards.

There will be a concession stand available.
