You will then have an additional ten minutes before the second set forfeiture.

-Failure to stay and officiate if you are required, will also result in a $10 additional fee the next tournament you play in.
-Both of these greatly impact our ability to be prepared and run a smooth tournament.

-We will have trash bags if you need one. Please pick up after yourselves.
-Understand that alcohol is not permitted at the YMCA.

Tournament Clarifications:
-Forfeitures:
-Once a pool play match ends, there will be a 10 minute grace period (but please move quickly) for the next teams to appear on the court. After 10 minutes, if a team has not shown- they will forfeit the first set and then be given an additional 10 minutes before a second set forfeiture.
-This also applies during the playoffs. Once the playoff meeting has been called, you have ten minutes to get to your court.
-Sandbagging:
- Understand that tournament directors reserve the right to disqualify anyone caught sandbagging from playoffs with no refund.
-At CHAOS, we do not automatically move someone up based on winning a division. We take several things into consideration:
-You and Your Partners Skill Level Together
-The competition field (Be aware of where you relate in skillset to those currently signed up in that division. Some tournaments see weaker/stronger divisions than others)
-If you have consistently made it to finals in a division, we will move you up.
-Understand that this is up to the Tournament Directors discretion. Trey, Nick, and I discuss these regularly and will move people to ensure the integrity of the tournament. It is not up for debate. Be aware that sometimes we do not know new people signed up but we encourage you to email and ask if you are questioning the division you signed up in.
-We will try to accommodate as many teams as possible. Please be aware if you are waitlisted and have not been moved off the waitlist the night before the tournament, you will not be able to play. We will accept waitlisted teams based on tournament size, number of nets available, and little interference with the flow of the tournament.

--There is no hand setting in BB Divisions. This is to deter A level players from sandbaggin in BB. Our goal for BB is to grow the game for newcomers to volleyball.
