NCSVA REGIONAL RULES

We’d love to say “there are no rules”. However, during the Tournament, there are.

Local/Regional Tournament Format:
• Two-person Men?s and/or Women?s tournament
• All matches are best 2 out of 3 games.

Pool Play:
Teams are separated into pools of 4 or 5 teams; each team plays a match against the other teams in their pool. The two teams with the best record in their pool, advance to single elimination.

Single elimination
The top teams are seeded based on their record from pool play into single elimination tournament.

*Depending on the number of teams and the number courts, Regionals maybe completed in one day or stretched out over multiple days.

Any student who attended, currently attends or is enrolled to attend during 2011-2012 school year.

POINT SYSTEM

If you wanna make it to the Championships, you gotta score points.

Players earn points at Regionals, where there has to be at minimum, 8 teams per gender. Points will be weighted depending on the size of the regional tournament and the number of participating schools.

For example, tournaments consisting of players from multiple schools will be rewarded more points than a tournament consisting of players from just one school. Pretty nifty, huh?
