Seedings
13U & 14U Boys & Girls
In order to comply with the principles within the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) Model, we will not be awarding any points at any tournaments for athletes in the 13U & 14U age groups. “During competitions, athletes may play to win and do their best, but the major focus of training is on learning basic volleyball skills and tactics and successfully applying those skills and tactics in competitive situations as opposed to actual competition success” (Volleyball For Life, 2006, pg. 17).
For the Provincial Championships, teams may select whether they would like to play in Division 1 or Division 2. At Provincials, the re-pool structure system will be in effect, as there will be no basis for seeding.
15U Girls
a) Asics Cup 1 will be an open format utilizing the results from the previous year’s 14U Provincial Championships to place teams into pools.
b) The results from Asics Cup 1 will be used to seed teams for Asics Cup 2 and Asics Cup 2 results will be used to seed teams for Asics Cup 3.
c) Results from Asics Cup 1 will be utilized to place teams in a division. Divisions will be divided into groups of 8-16 depending on the number of teams registered to a maximum of three divisions.
d) Following each Asics Cup, the two (2) highest teams from each division may choose to move up a division. The two (2) lowest seeded teams in each division will move down a division. If a team decides to stay down, the next highest seed from the same division may choose to go up.
e) Teams will receive points based on their finish in each Asics Cup Tournament ONLY (club sanctioned events will not be awarded any points). For example: 1st place = 1 point, 2nd place = 2 points, 3rd place = 3 points. Teams not entering a tournament will receive the total number of entries + one point (e.g. 12 teams = 13 points).
f) All ties in rankings will be decided based on the highest finish from the last tournament, then the tournaments prior to that. If teams are still tied then results from the last tournament will be used - matches for/against, sets for/against and finally points for/against. In case of two teams still tied after this criterion is followed a coin toss will decide the final outcome.
g) For the Provincial Championships teams will be seeded based on the total cumulative points from all three Asics Cup Tournaments.
