Registration for NBVA #1 is open and closes 11pm Monday 30 February. Format
12-team format, allowing for up to 6* Divisions / 72 teams in each gender over the weekend.
The intention is for the following:
- Divisions 1-3** to play on Saturday
- Divisions 4-6 to play on Sunday
*Please note that we will require a minimum of 8 teams in a division, in order to be able to run that division.
**The final decision on which days each Division will play, will depend on sign up - and if we have less than 5 complete divisions, only Divisions 1 & 2 will play on Saturday with all other Divisions playing on Sunday.
Format:
- Matches will be best of 3 sets - 21/21/15
Pool Phase
Teams will be seeded in serpentine fashion into 4 pools of 3 teams, with all teams in the pool playing each other.
First and second place in each pool will progress to the Elimination Phase, with third place in each pool being eliminated.
At the end of the pool stage, placings within the pool will be determined:
- firstly on the basis of games won.
- if games won is equal (i.e. all teams win one game) placing will be determined on the basis of sets won;
- if games won and sets won is also equal, points difference will be used.
Teams finishing in 3rd place in the pool will be awarded the following placings:
- if the team has won one game and lost one game, 9th place;
- if the team has lost both games, 11th place.
Elimination Phase
Teams eliminated in the Quarter Finals will be given joint 5th place.
Winners of the Quarter Finals will progress to Semis and then the Final.
