5-Team Pool/Tournament (Some may need this format): The last site assigned in an age group/realm (i.e. 15 East) “may” utilize a 5-team pool format if there are only 5 teams left in that age/realm. If we have a 5-team tournament, we will play a full round- robin pool play schedule. Teams will play TWO sets to 25 starting at 0-0. The top two teams by SET record will advance to the FINALS to be held after pool play ends. The last place team in the pool will ref the Finals.

6-Team Tournament (Some tournaments may need this format): If we have 6 teams total at a tournament site, we will seed the teams into TWO three-team pools. They will play a round-robin schedule in pool play. Then all six teams will advance to the playoffs. The teams will be seeded into a six-team to determine the overall champion.

Exceptions to the above schedules and pool formats must be requested to and sanctioned in writing by the Carolina Region before the event.
