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

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. 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.  First and second place in
the Gold division will be given awards.

bleacher seating as well.  Spectators are also permitted to bring
