| Brackets
and pool sheets shall remain at the Tournament
Director's tent at all times. Winning team players
will be responsible for reporting scores to the
Director immediately. Losing team players shall
referee the next teams playing on the court where they
lost. |
| We
attempt to limit CPVA
tournaments to 16 teams for both
men's and women's divisions. Winners' bracket players
play best two of three games to 21; contenders'
bracket plays one game to 25. There is no cap. If for
any reason the field of teams grows beyond 16, at
least the
first three rounds of the winners' bracket shall be
played one game to 25 and contenders' shall be one
game to 15. In order to assure successful completion of the
event the tournament director may
switch: |
- all winners'
games to 25, 21 or 15 depending on time.
- all contenders'
games to 25, 21 or 15 depending on time.
|
| If the
event cannot finish before dark, the event shall
end at 9:00 p.m. The undefeated team shall be
declared winner and the highest seeded teams
remaining in the event shall be deemed 2nd, 3rd,
etc. based on their seed at the beginning of the
event. |
| *Exceptions: |
- If there is more
than one undefeated team, the highest seeded
team at the beginning of the event shall be
declared winner and the other team will be
second.
- A lower seeded
team that defeats a higher seeded team during
the event will finish above the team that was
defeated.
|
| Any teams
that do not follow the event format or scoring as set
by the director will forfeit the event and be
restricted from playing in at least one future CPVA
event. |
| Points will
accrue based on each team's finish. No points shall be
required to play in the CPVA. Teams shall be entered
as their entries are received. If more than one entry
is received and only one spot is available, teams with
higher points shall receive the remaining spot. |
| The CPVA
uses AVP rules which can be reviewed at: www.fivb.com |
| CPVA
players are responsible for keeping their areas clean
and placing all trash in the supplied receptacles. Any
players caught leaving trash at the event shall be
restricted from playing in at least one future CPVA
event. |
