Tracy Evans (Becca's mom) has set up a Shutterfly picture site for all of us to use and needs everyone to send her their email addresses so she can get everyone registered.  You can either request to be added or she can add you to the site.  Then, you can post pictures, videos and comments on your team's page.  A picture site will be nice for everyone to share what they have with their team and the entire club.  Please email Tracy if you have any questions.

Pools will be published by noon Tuesday, February 14th.  They are waiting on last weekend's tournament results to be published.  We will either be playing or refing the first time slot of each wave, so EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE THERE DRESSED AND READY TO PLAY 45 MINUTES BEFORE THE START OF EACH OF THEIR WAVES ON SATURDAY (7:15am/3:15pm for our 17's and 16's, 11:15am/6:15pm for our 18's and 14's).  The wave schedules (American and Regional) are posted below for February 18 (Saturday). R is regional and A is American.  REMEMBER, OUR 14BLACK TEAM IS PLAYING IN THE 15 REGIONAL TOURNAMENT.  All other teams are playing in their normal age group.  Each pool will be playing on two courts. So we will be either officiating or playing at all times.

8am-12pm - 17A, 16A
12pm-4pm - 18R, 15R (14A)
4pm-7pm - 17A, 16A
7pm-10pm - 18R, 15R (14A) 

On Sunday tournament resumes at:
8am - 17A, 16A...should be done playing at about 1pm. 
1pm - 18R, 15R (14A)...should be done playing at about 7pm.

There will not be a coaches meeting prior to the start of the tournament.  Coaches may pick up their tournament information packets between 6:00-9:00 PM on Friday night, February 17, 2012 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center or the next day in the morning before you play. Doors will open at 7:00 AM on Saturday and Sunday.  Teams will be placed in pools of 6 teams and will play in waves starting at 8:00 AM on both days. There will be 4 waves, wave 1 starts at 8 AM, wave 2 starts at noon, wave 3 starts at 4 pm and wave 4 starts at 7 pm.  Teams that play in wave 1 will also play in wave 3; teams that play in wave 2 will play in wave 4. Teams that play in wave 4 will not play until later on Sunday to ensure adequate rest.

Note:  Several changes have been made in the playing/refing schedules to hopefully allow the courts to stay on time better than last year.

After pool play completes then the teams will be seeded into a tournament and have at least 2 additional  matches.  All OVR rules apply.  Teams will have to supply a down official, 2 line judges, an official scorer, a libero tracker and score flipper for the matches they are required to officiate. A minimum of 7 matches guaranteed.  This tournament is unique in that it uses 6 team pools ensuring that you never play the same team twice (except possibly in a final match).  To that end, we can only run the tournament with 6 team pools so teams in the last pool are not confirmed in until that pool is filled completely.

Awards will be given to the winner of the gold, runner-up of gold, winner of the silver and winner of the bronze divisions.  Concessions will be available.  The tournament will only be cancelled if there is a level 3 snow emergency in Franklin County, Ohio.
