Tournament entry requires registration through AES beginning July 1 2023. OVR teams will have their team code transferred to the OVR tournament information. Out of region teams will have their team name and code transferred as well. Team acceptance is based on AES entry and received entry fee (date/time.) Please note that teams will be accepted in the order that payment is received. Team withdrawal causes loss of the entry fee unless a fully paid replacement team is entered.

Team entry fees ($470) can be paid with a check or through AES. If paying through AES, there will be a non-refundable 3% processing fee added to the entry fee. Tournament entry fees paid with a check will be deposited two weeks before the tournament. If by check, please send a separate check for each OVR tournament that you have teams entered. Not a separate check per team, just per event.

Make checks payable to: Ohio Valley Region and mail to:

Spectator admission: $10 per day for all individuals 19 years and older. Admission sales will be on-site only. Guests can use either cash or card to purchase.

A coach must be present at the Scorer’s table. Please have the work team available court side at the coin toss for the next match. Each work team is to provide a whistle for the down official, pens and pencils for score table duties. At the completion of the match, please remove all pens and pencils. Be sure the coaches pickup their lineup sheets. Teams are responsible for clean-up of their bench area. The court official and /or Tournament assistants will be responsible for any match papers.

Coaches Meeting: There will not be a coaches' meeting prior to the start of the tournament. This tournament will not use AES rosters. OVR Coaches will verify team rosters online at the OVR website. Out-of-Region teams will have submitted their rosters prior to check in. If a change needs to be made to the roster, a coach can provide an updated roster when they check-in Saturday, the first day of the tournament. Upon check-in, wrist bands will be given to coaches and their staff. Roster changes cannot be made once a team starts their first match. The use of AES providing the schedule means a tournament handout to coaches is not necessary.

Out of region teams need to submit your Region's approved entry form or OVR Tournament Entry form
