Tournament Information

Due to restrictions in the number of people that we are allowed in the playing area at any one time, we must drastically change our tournament format:

8:00 AM - 12 Regional will play in three team pools instead of four team pools.
11:15 AM - 12 Regional will re-pool into a second three team pool and finish about 2:15 pm.
3:00 PM - 12 American will play in three team pools.

The Columbus Public Health Department has granted permission for the OVR to have one spectator per athlete for our April events at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.  Again, one spectator per athlete per day.  Spectators cannot change during the day.  No Exceptions!  Spectators must bring their own chairs; the GCCC/OVR will not provide seating.  “Floor dots” will be used to designate the location for each chair around each court.  Chairs will be provided for up to two coaches and one COVID Coordinator in the bench area, and also for the score table crew.

 

 Here is the Check-In process for this weekend (April 17-18).

 

The Team COVID Coordinator (CC) is responsible for maintaining a contact tracing list, including coaches, athletes, and spectators.  The forms are available on the OVR website (Contact Tracing Form) and (Spectator List).  The Spectator List must be submitted to OVR staff upon the CC’s arrival for each day of competition; the Contact Tracing Form remains with the CC.   The CC is part of the team roster (not a spectator) and must be at/near the team bench when the team is competing during a match.     

 

Masks must be properly worn, covering the nose and mouth, by all attendees and participants, except the six players on the court during play, and except when eating/drinking.  Social distancing guidelines must be followed.
