Tournament Information
Once the seeding is completed, teams from the same club will not be switched out of a pool to avoid playing another team from the same club in the first round of pools. This was the consensus of the National Club Directors.
This event is restricted of OVR teams only.
USAV requires that a rostered adult must be the R2 for all age divisions at National Qualifying events such as this event.
There isn't any admission charge to attend. Come enjoy the volleyball.
Chairs for spectators will not be provided. Please bring your own chairs.
This tournament uses each team's best 4 finishes. So the ranking numbers you see in the pool displays below are not what was used in the seeding. Once the seeding is completed, teams from the same club will not be switched out of a pool to avoid playing another team from the same club in the first round of pools. This was the consensus of the National Club Directors.
Matches start at 8 am both Saturday and Sunday.

This tournament used to allocate the Ohio Valley Region's National and American bids to the USAV Girls Junior National Championships to be hosted by Dallas, TX on June 25 through July 4. Entry into this event is restricted to only OVR registered teams. All OVR teams registered in the National Divisions are eligible to enter. We will do our best to accept all teams that register by February 28th. But space and court restrictions may force use to a limited number in particular divisions. We will know more after the registration period ends on 2/28/2020.
There will also be Bid Play-In Tournaments in March for 17 American through 14 American teams. The top 2 and maybe as many as 4 teams from each of these tournaments will also be invited to attend the OVR Bid Tournament. 12 and 13 American teams may enter the event by emailing a request to herbert@ovr.org.
In the Bid Tournament, divisions with 16 or fewer teams entered will be run in a single day (either Saturday or Sunday depending upon what works best for the event). Divisions with 17 or more teams entered will be run across both Saturday and Sunday.
In the two day events teams typically will play 4 matches on Saturday and at least 3 but as many as 5 matches on Sunday. More information on playing formats will be available after the registration period ends and we know how many teams are in each division.
Seeding for the OVR Bid Tournament will use an average of up to the four best tournament results for each team. This will form a basis of 50% of the seeding information. The club directors/coaches of the teams will also vote on their recommended seedings. This will be the other 50% of the seeding. The combination of these two values will determine the final seeding for the event. Once the seeding is completed, teams from the same club will not be switched out of a pool to avoid playing another team from the same club in the first round of pools.
Since this is a qualifying event for the USAV girls National Championships, we will not be using a 2 meter step-in line for the 12s or 11s divisions.
There is a State of Ohio law that requires all coaches and administrators of juniors sports teams to have concussion certifications. Here is a link to the NFHS course in Concussion in Sports
