Tournament Schedule:  During your initial pool you will play either a three or four team pool.  Some teams will repool on Saturday and begin pool play later in the day and then finish on Sunday.  Some teams will play a challenge match after pool play on Saturday.  You will need to read your schedule carefully!  When you complete your pool, make sure you know where you go from there.  Check with tournament desk or court managers.

 Tournament Format:

The Rock and Roll tournament is run similar to larger National tournaments so it is important to know your play schedule and reffing assignments. 

All matches will be the best two out of three sets to 25 points, rally scoring, no cap.  If 3rd set is required it will be 15 points with no cap. USAV rules will be in effect.

Warm-Ups:  A team’s first warmup of the day is 15 minutes. For subsequent matches, teams will have 4 minutes each – including serving.  Serving team will have the first 4 minutes.

Once the tournament starts, if a match ends early the next match will begin immediately.
