We are using each team's best four tournament results. The ranking number next to their team name is based on all of their results and so may not be accurate.
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.
All players must be age legal to participate.
Maximum team numbers:
Sixteen teams in each of the 17, 16, 15 and 14s divisions.
Spectators must bring their own chairs.
Alcohol is NOT permited in the playing area.
Bring your own warm-up volleyballs.
