Cheer with respect
We expect everyone to respect their opponents, the officials, and the
tournament directors. Most of the people working the tournament are
volunteering their time. We will not tolerate any rude behavior by players,
parents, coaches, etc., especially anything directed at young players
officiating. We will have paid officials for the R1 position and volunteer
coaches and players will complete the rest of the officiating team. Please
keep your fans under control. Any team that cannot control themselves or
their fans will be removed from the tournament.
Keep facilities clean
Please use your best efforts to keep the facilities and equipment clean,
especially the bathrooms and the areas where the teams will be eating and
resting. If you spill something, please clean it up right away. If you really
spill something, please let somebody know so we can get it cleaned up
right away. These facilities are very difficult to secure for volleyball
tournaments and we are fortunate to have the opportunity to be here. With
your help, we will be asked to return here next year. Thanks in advance for
your help to keep things clean.

Rules of Play/Seeding/Tie-breaking
Match Format
USA Volleyball® rules will apply to all match play. The match format will be
2/3 sets, rally score to 25. You must win by 2, NO CAP. Deciding sets will
be rally score to 15, win by 2, NO CAP. In the event we have a 3-team
pool, you will play 3-set matches with each set going to 25, no cap. You
must win by 2 points. If possible we will have crossover matches between
any 3-team pools and will run the same 2/3 set schedule as those teams in
4-team pools. The three choices at the coin toss will be either: serve,
receive, or side.
Libero Serve Rule
The Columbia Empire region allows the Libero to serve for one player
position. We will allow the Libero Serve Rule at our tournament. You don’t
have to use it, but you can!
Results
All results will be updated to www.gamepointrtr.com under the current
tournament tab and the latest results from every pool will be posted at the
conclusion of EACH MATCH!
Schedule
Each match is scheduled to start on the hour. Teams will be allowed 2
minutes of shared warm-up time, and then 4 minutes each on the court (24-4), you must serve within your four minutes of court time. There will be no
shared hitting.
Forfeit
Matches will be played as much as 15 minutes ahead of schedule if
possible. A forfeit will occur 10 minutes following the conclusion of the
previous match, regardless of what time the match is scheduled, as long as
it is no more than 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time during pool
play. Set 2 will be forfeited 15 minutes following the forfeit of set 1.
Decisions on forfeits made by the Protest Committee are final.
Officiating
Teams are responsible to provide an R2, scorekeeper, score flipper/libero
tracker, and 2 line judges. Paid R1 officials are provided. Any teams that do
not show up for their officiating assignments will be assessed a penalty of 1
point for each minute they are late, to a maximum of 15 points for the first
infraction and 25 points for their 2nd infraction. These penalties will be
assessed at the team’s next match. In the event a team cannot fulfill their
officiating responsibilities and must be replaced, the team will be charged
$30.00 for another team to fill in for them. This includes the final round of
the day, so if you have any doubts whatsoever about your next assignment;
please check out with the Tournament Desk before allowing your teams to
leave the tournament site at the end of each session.
Protest Procedure
If a protest is to be filed, it must be filed at the time of the incident, before
the next serve. Only the floor captain may file a protest. The protest must
be written on the score sheet by the scorekeeper or R1 official and must be
signed by both the floor captain and the referee. A protest committee will
consist of the tournament director, and two uninvolved officials. The protest
must be ruled upon before the set can continue. A protest cannot be filed
after the match. Judgment calls of any official cannot be protested.
Seeding
Seeding for the tournament was based on regional seeding’s and interregional tournament results with emphasis on the most recent results
available. In order to provide predictability in the tournament a team’s finish
position within each pool will determine the seed and where each team
progresses. If you have any question whatsoever regarding your next
playing or ref assignments, please consult the tournament desk.
Tie Breaking Procedures
At the conclusion of a pool, teams will be ranked according to their match
record. If a tie in a match record exists between two or more teams, the
tie(s) will be broken using the following Tie Break Formats.
There will be NO tie breaking sets (games) under any scenario. We
simply do not have any extra court space or time allotted for tie-breaking
sets.
TWO WAY TIES (two teams tied in match record)
The number 1 team will be the team which won the pool play match
between the two tied teams (head to head). This procedure will be used for
all two-way ties (the rationale is: the teams that are tied have already
determined the better team through play).
THREE WAY TIES (three teams tied in match record)
Any three-way ties will be broken using the following criteria:
1. Pool match record
2. Set percentage (sets won/total sets played)
3. Point percentage (points scored/points opponents scored)
4. Coin toss
Tournament Information
Team Break Areas
At the Moshofsky Center, teams may set-up break areas in the open area
on the the Mo Center. There is no team ‘camping’ allowed in the
designated eating area. This area is for eating only, teams that set-up shop
here will be asked to move! Food is specifically limited to the designated
area posted. There are NO Coolers allowed inside the Mo Center and ALL
FOOD MUST STAY IN DESIGNATED AREAS. Parents, please respect
this rule. Teams ARE allowed to set-up tents and camping areas outside in
Wildish Plaza for their coolers and food if they choose to. While we do have
security that makes rounds through the facility, please take any valuable
items with your team into the playing courts rather than leaving them
unattended in your team break area.
Teams playing at Gerlinger Annex are allowed food in the hall outside the
courts at Gerlinger Annex.
Awards

of local Eugene area businesses. In the SE Corner of the Moshofsky and

around the Eugene Area. All vendor food must be eaten in designated
areas ONLY.
Tournament T-shirts
We will be selling souvenir tournament t-shirts and sweatshirts just inside
the entrance to the Mo Center. The shirts are limited. If you plan to
purchase an official tournament t shirt, you may want to do that early while
the size selection is best! There are many other volleyball knick-knacks for
sale courtesy of Aries Apparel.
Trainers/taping
Trainers will be available inside the Mo Center. If you have a player that
needs to be taped, you should get her or him to the trainer station early
enough to allow for a wait during the rush before each wave starts. Players
are required to provide their own supplies if they need taping or other
assistance. Ice will be available in the event of injury if necessary. In the
event a player is injured during competition, please contact a court monitor
immediately and we will radio to the nearest trainer for assessment. If the
injury is serious, please call 911 immediately and contact tournament staff
as soon as possible.
