There will not be a coaches meeting prior to the start of the tournament.  Coaches may pick up their tournament information packets between 6:00-9:00 PM on Friday night, February 17, 2012 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center or the next day in the morning before you play. Doors will open at 7:00 AM on Saturday and Sunday.  

Teams will be placed in pools of 6 teams and will play in waves starting at 8:00 AM on both days. There will be 4 waves, wave 1 starts at 8 AM, wave 2 starts at noon, wave 3 starts at 4 pm and wave 4 starts at 7 pm.  Teams that play in wave 1 will also play in wave 3; teams that play in wave 2 will play in wave 4. Teams that play in wave 4 will not play until later on Sunday to ensure adequate rest. 

Note:  Several changes have been made in the playing/refing schedules to hopefully allow the courts to stay on time better than last year.

After pool play completes then the teams will be seeded into a tournament and have at least 2 additional  matches.  All OVR rules apply.  Teams will have to supply a down official, 2 line judges, an official scorer, a libero tracker and score flipper for the matches they are required to officiate. A minimum of 7 matches guaranteed.  

This tournament is unique in that it uses 6 team pools ensuring that you never play the same team twice (except possibly in a final match).  To that end, we can only run the tournament with 6 team pools so teams in the last pool are not confirmed in until that pool is filled completely.

Awards will be given to the winner of the gold, runner-up of gold, winner of the silver and winner of the bronze divisions.  Concessions will be available.  The tournament will only be cancelled if there is a level 3 snow emergency in Franklin County, Ohio.  Should you have any questons, please contact Al Herbert at 330-354-5332.  

Entry fee is $425 per team.
