4 pools of 4 teams
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

For the first round, teams from the same club, regardless of
seed,
should not be placed in the same pool.
Tournament format: 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. 


All first-place and
second-place teams to the Gold playoffs. All third-place teams to
the Silver playoffs. All
fourth-place teams to the Bronze playoffs. 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.




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.
