This event is cancelled!!!

Elevation 17 Goller won the 18 USA Division at the Music City 18s Qualifier.  They now have to go to Reno for the USAV Girls 18s JNC.  They want to upgrade to an 18 National Bid.  If they finish 1st or 2nd, their USA Bid will trickle down to the 3rd place team.

Registration is closed.

Motion passed by the Board of Directors on 6/1/2019, beginning with the 2020 USAV National Championships, (to receive entry fee reimbursement) OVR teams that earn a bid for the USAV National Championships must participate in two OVR-sanctioned events; one of which must be either an OVR Bid Tournament or the OVR Regional Championships

USAV requires that a rostered adult must be the R2 for all age divisions at National Qualifying events such as this event.

Since this is a qualifying event, club directors decided not to move teams from the same club out of the same initial pool.

Accepting or Declining a National Bid: A team may immediately decline a National Bid with no penalty once they have earned it. The National Bid will then trickle down to the next eligible team. Accepting or Declining an American Bid: A team may immediately decline an American Bid with no penalty once they have earned it. The American Bid will then trickle down to the next eligible team.
