Thank you for your interest in our tournaments. Team rosters will
be downloaded from the OVR website the week of the tournament.
Please make sure your coach is IMPACT certified. Doors open at
7:45am each day. Coaches' meeting is at 8:30am. Play begins at
9am. Pool pay is the best of three sets with rally scoring. Each
non-deciding set will be to 25 points with a minimum two-point
advantage (no scoring cap). The deciding set, if needed will be to
15 points with a minimum two point advantage(no scoring cap).

Prior to each team’s first match of the day, girls’ mandatory
warm-ups are to consist of 15 minutes (7 minutes shared, no
hitting across net), 4 minutes serving team, 4 minutes receiving
team. After each teams first match, the mandatory warm-up time
between all matches is will be 10 minutes, consisting of 2 minutes
of shared ball handling on-court, 4 minutes full-court for the
serving team, and 4 minutes full-court for the receiving team.

During each team’s full-court warm-up segment, the opposing team
must be in their bench area and not interfere with the team using
the court. However for purposes of risk management, the “off team”
could offer to help with retrieving balls when the “on team” is
hitting provided the “on-team” coach agrees.

BB play in Gold tournament.

Tie-breaking: Since all teams advance to playoffs, ties will not
be decided by playing a set.
1. If 2 teams from the same pool are tied, their head to head
match determines their order of finish.
2. If 3 teams from the same pool are tied after match and set %
and point differential have been calculated,
a coin flip will determine their order of finish.


Ground Rules:

All substitutes and Libero switches must take place on the 2nd
referee side of the court.

The Libero will be allowed to serve per the OVR rule.

The Libero may not be the captain at any time, nor attend the coin
toss for a deciding set.

Players cannot enter an adjacent court even after having completed
their play on the ball.

The new pre-match protocol will be used for all matches.  Players
will line up on the second referee sideline of the court.  The 1st
referee will indicate when to walk to the middle of the court,
turn and wave.  Players will then shake hands under the net. 
Starters immediately go to their position.  Substitutes
immediately leave the court.  There isn’t another huddle at this
time.

Tie-Breaking Procedures:

Within-Pool:
Two way ties are decided by the outcome of the match between the
two teams.

Three way ties are decided by comparing the Set Percentage, then
Point Differential (points won – Points lost), then if necessary,
coin toss.

Across Pools:
Ranking 3rd place teams is decided by Match Percentage, Set
Percentage, Point Differential, and finally, coin toss.

Facility Notes:

Coolers are not allowed in the facility.  This is an OVR rule.  Do
not bring outside food into the facility.

A concession stand will be available.

Please clean up your area as you leave the team benches,
scorekeeping table or the area in which you have camped.

Tournament checks will be deposited January 15, 2011
