• Hall C - look for signs and stanchioned off areas
• Players - to gain entry into the tournament through the participant entry, the Ace of Club participant must be wearing team jersey. If there is no team jersey, free entry is not available. Not meeting these requirements may result in removal from event.

• For rosters not submitted or checked in online prior to Friday, February 6 - event entry will be shared at In Person Team Check In.

AES only allows for one jersey number per rostered player. We understand that a libero may have a libero jersey that is not a number associated with his/her non-libero jersey. If this is the case, the head coach must declare this information with the site director at Championship Desk one hour prior to the team starting play.    We also understand that a player may have her “home” jersey with one number and the “away” jersey with another number. If this is the case, the head coach must declare this information with site director at Championship Desk one hour prior to the team starting play.   THIS CANNOT OCCUR WITH THE OFFICIAL WHEN THE OFFICIAL IS CHECKING THE ROSTER PRIOR TO THE START OF THE GAME. 

Site Director will need the following:
-           age division of team
-           name of team
-           coach of team declaring information
-           name of player who has jersey discrepancy due to being a libero
-           site director updates the rosters and coach initializes the roster

• First Place - gold medal
• Second Place - silver medal
• Third Place - bronze medal

Certified USA Volleyball officials will serve as R1's for this event.  The work team for a match will need to provide the following personnel:

• A coach on the work team roster needs to be present at the court his/her team is working
• R2  - must be a rostered coach (must have a whistle)
• Score Sheet 
• Libero Tracker
• Score Flipper
• 2 line judges

Non-rostered personnel are not allowed to work on the officiating Team, with the exception of the R2 position, provided they can provide documentation that they are registered with a Region of USAV to include a current membership, cleared background screening, and is SafeSport trained, as well as have the appropriate certifications. 

It is the team's responsibility to know its work assignment(s). Prior to leaving the facility for the day, refer to AES to determine the team's next work assignment and competition assignment.  It is not the responsibility of the USA Volleyball certified officials nor the site directors to know a team's work schedule. Should an event staff worker errantly confirm that a team can leave a facility and therefore the team misses the work assignment, the team is ultimately responsible for confirming its schedule.

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A TEAM MAY HAVE TO OFFICIATE A MATCH FROM ANOTHER DIVISION. THIS IS NOT NEW TO A LARGE TOURNAMENT FORMAT.

Our first priority is ALWAYS the safety of our attendees and participants! With the recent uptick in incidents at large-scale events nationwide, we are implementing increased security measures.
This is a private event and organized under the rules and policies of USA Volleyball. Adults working with minor age athletes will meet safety requirements of USA Volleyball.

Only eligible participants, on an official SportsEngine USA Volleyball roster, will be allowed to be on the team bench and meet work team duties.

Spectators are required to show proof of ticket purchase and appropriate identification prior to any entry into the Convention Center Halls.

Event Staff may remove any participant or spectator from the venue for inappropriate or dangerous behavior. Refunds will not be provided if removal occurs.

NIKE Region Qualifier will be using University Athlete to assist your participants and college coaches.

We get the foundation of our roster data from event rosters that you fill out. Please make sure name,  graduation year, jersey number, position, height, and email address are correct for your teams. Please encourage your players to get their free profile so they can correct mistakes and add even more information to their profiles. If you want to help even more, you can request a club login here. You are probably over worked and underpaid for what you do. Thanks for caring.
