15U Boys
The 15U Boys Program will NOT run for the 2012 season. 15U Boys will be combined with the 16U Men for Sask Cups AND Provincials. If teams registered only allow for a single day tournament, refunds (to reflect the price of a single day tournament) will be given after the tournament.
Guidelines
a) Registered teams must play in a minimum of 1 tournament to a maximum of 6 competitions.
b) The Asics SV5T-WL will be the official competition ball for this age category.
c) The 12 limited substitution rule with no libero.
d) Head Coaches must be certified Level 1 in Volleyball at the time of registration. First time coaches will be given one year grace period to complete their Level 1.
e) Coaches must play all players equally. Failure to do so results in the team losing their performance bond, followed by a fine.
Tournament Structure
a) A serpentine seeding system will be utilized to place teams into pools in the preliminary round.
b) The Saskatchewan Volleyball Association reserves the right to adjust the seeding in order to avoid teams from the same club playing in the same pool in the preliminary draw.
c) Playoff draws will be arranged to best reflect the number of entries in each tournament.
d) Provincials will be a re-pool structure - exact format TBD based on number of teams.
Seeding
a) Seeding for Asics Cup #1 will be done using total points accumulated so far.
b) Seeding for Provincials will be done by the following:
a. The sum of the total number of accumulated points from all tournaments attended; divided by the total number of tournaments attended.
b. In the case of a Tie, the following proceedure will be used to break the tie. The steps will be followed in sequence until the tie is broken.
1. The results of matches played head to head in the most recent tournament.
2. The teams with the higher place finish in the most recent tournament both teams attended.
3. The team with more higher placed finishes in all tournaments attended.
4. Coin flip.
