Tournament Seeding: We will use 2018 USClubRankings, PrepVolleyball.com's pre-season rankings, and any tournament finishes between January 1, 2018 through February 1, 2019. Club Directors will also provide their top 24 picks for their respective age group. After identifying the top 8 teams, who will be considered Number 1 seeds, they will be geographically cross-pooled to assure they play competition from outside of their region. The results of the first 3-4 matches for each team will determine seeding for the power pool or alternate pools for teams who do not qualify. After seeding matches on Saturday, tournament play will begin on Sunday.
