Buckeye Volleyball Club
Tournaments

The tournaments can be 1 - 3 days in duration.  Most often,
tournaments are held as one-day competition.  A Team normally plays
in events where it will play each team in their 4 teams pool with the
winning teams ( 1st and 2nd places) advancing to the Gold bracket
and the other teams ( 3rd and 4th places) advancing to a Silver or
Bronze bracket.  Most of the tournaments use a best 2 out of 3 games
format.

Seating is sparse in most of the gyms so it is recommended that
parents bring their own chairs.  In addition, it is recommended that
parents pack a cooler for their respective athletes.   Please note:  
Coolers and outside food cannot be brought into the tournaments.  
This is a rule in the Ohio Valley Region.  If you bring coolers and
outside food, it must be left in the car.  

Coaches will always provide specific directions to the tournament
facilities and the scheduled arrival time.

Depending on the number of teams, tournaments usually should be
over between 6:00pm  - 8:00pm
