Doors open at 7:30am.  The coaches' meeting at 8:00 AM at the

playing site will take place prior to the start of the

tournament – this will be located by the concessions stands.

 

The tournament starts at 8:30 AM sharp at St. Henry High School (St. Henry, Ohio).

 There will be a $3 charge for all spectators.  There is not a limitation on number of spectators per player.

Pool play is the best of three sets with rally scoring.

We will be operating a 12-team tournament. 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). 

 

All warm-ups will use the 2-4-4 format; 2-minutes shared court, 4-minutes Serving Team, 4-minutes Receiving team.  Teams may request the referee to tell them when to serve, usually one minute.

 

Tee Shirts will be awarded for Gold Division Winners and a prize will also be awarded to the Runners-up

Match 1 1 vs. 3 (2)

Match 2 2 vs. 4 (1)

Match 3 1 vs. 4 (3)

Match 4 2 vs. 3 (1)

Match 5 3 vs. 4 (2)

 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, second-place, and the top two third- place teams to the Gold playoffs. The remaining third-place and all fourth-place teams to the Silver 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. To avoid third-place teams playing a team from their pool for the first tournament match, a tournament director can choose to switch best third- place and second-best third-place teams on the tournament bracket if both teams consent to the change.

 

Team camps will be assigned  No teams will be

allowed to camp outside of the designated area.

 

Coolers and food: Keep all coolers in cars. Coolers (including soft-sided) are prohibited in and outside facilities hosting OVR-sanctioned events. Setting up tables and/or cooking by teams or their support staff, fans, coaches, or parents are PROHIBITED

at OVR-sanctioned events. Tournament directors and site managers do not have the discretion to grant permission.

 

No outside food will be permitted in the playing facility.

 

If a club does not comply amicably with a tournament director's or site director's request, an Incident Report will be sent to Bob Price, OVR Commissioner, resulting in

up to a $250 fine and a team/club suspension.

 

A full concession will be provided at the tournament site: chicken sandwiches, pizza, hot dogs, pop, water, Powerade, fruit, candy, and baked goods.

 

All seating for spectators will be limited to the bleacher areas. In the 2^nd gym there is not much room for spectators, so we ask that your fans clear the gym after your team’s match is completed in order for other fans to enter. WE WILL ALSO BE FOLLOWING COVID REGULATIONS FOR SEATING.

EVERYONE MUST ENTER THROUGH DOOR 19.  This is near the media center.  

 

Team/Tournament cancellation:  Per OVR regulations- a team canceling after the entry deadline, 14 days prior to the tournament date, will forfeit its entry fee.
