Tie Breaking Procedures for Bid Divisions
All ties will be broken using the USAV Qualifier Manual procedures. Please note that all tie breakers are 1 set to 15.
IT IS THE COACH’S RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW IF A PLAYOFF WILL BE HELD FOR THEIR POOL. DO NOT LEAVE THE FACILITY UNTIL YOUR POOL IS COMPLETED AND FINISHES HAVE BEEN POSTED FOR THE POOL IN AES. WHEN IN DOUBT, STAY UNTIL THE POOL IS FINISHED AND POSTED IN AES. EVENT STAFF AND OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED NOT TO ANSWER HYPOTHETICAL QUESTIONS TO AVOID PROVIDING INACCURATE INFORMATION.
- The tournament will determine if a tie breaker set is needed.
- Teams are seeded and the tie breaker set(s) is/are scheduled on the grid in AES.
- The score sheet is printed, and a member of staff pages the teams involved in the tie breaker by announcing the teams and court number.
- The assigned referee takes the score sheet to the court to begin warm up.
- If any of the three involved teams are missing, the referee does the coin toss and starts the warm-up protocol (the coin toss is considered the start of the “10-minute clock”) and notifies a head referee if one or more teams are not present.
- If one or more teams are still missing at the end of 10 minutes, the head referee in conjunction with tournament staff determines if a tie breaker is still needed based on the number of teams missing and the number of tie breaker sets originally needed.
If there was an error in the system (ie. scores were improperly entered, system outage, etc.), the tournament staff will immediately notify all teams by text using the phone number provided on online check in for the event and a proper amount of time will be given to allow teams to play off the tie.
