Tournament Format

  • A (1st-16th) 4
  • B (17th & lower) 2
• Please note that AAA players are not permitted to participate in 1 Star events, no matter who their partner is.

Seeding/Ranking

• Once in a division, teams will be re-seeded based on the following criteria:
  • Total ranking points (average finishes) from the last year (2018) and the current year (2019). In the case of a tie, more weight will be placed on the most recent event.
  • Subjective seeding (Volleyball BC Players Committee). Volleyball BC reserves the right to make final decisions on seeding.

Tournament Size
