Tie Breaking
All ties will be broken using the USAV Qualifier Manual procedures. Please note that all tie breakers are 1 set to 15.
IT IS THE COACH’S RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW IF A PLAYOFF WILL BE HELD FOR THEIR POOL. DO NOT LEAVE THE FACILITY UNTIL YOUR POOL IS COMPLETED AND FINISHES HAVE BEEN POSTED FOR THE POOL IN AES. WHEN IN DOUBT, STAY UNTIL THE POOL IS FINISHED AND POSTED IN AES. EVENT STAFF AND OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED NOT TO ANSWER HYPOTHETICAL QUESTIONS TO AVOID PROVIDING INACCURATE INFORMATION.
- The tournament will determine if a tie breaker set is needed.
- Teams are seeded and the tie breaker set(s) is/are scheduled on the grid in AES.
- The score sheet is printed, and a member of staff pages the teams involved in the tie breaker by announcing the teams and court number.
- The assigned referee takes the score sheet to the court to begin warm up.
- If any of the three involved teams are missing, the referee does the coin toss and starts the warm-up protocol (the coin toss is considered the start of the “10-minute clock”) and notifies a head referee if one or more teams are not present.
- If one or more teams are still missing at the end of 10 minutes, the head referee in conjunction with tournament staff determines if a tie breaker is still needed based on the number of teams missing and the number of tie breaker sets originally needed.

Parking
Parking is available in various paid parking lots near the GRB as well as under Discovery Green Park directly across from the Convention Center. There is a new parking garage located near the Hall A side of the GRB. NO PARKING IN THE BACK OF THE CONVENTION CENTER – there is NO ENTRY from that side of the building. You will have to walk around the convention center if you park behind the loading docks. There is no entrance in the back. Parking Meters downtown are NOT free on Saturdays. Prices vary, but most lots are between $10-$40 per day. Downtown parking lot attendants will be wearing a yellow vest with a badge.
The downtown Polk exit is the way almost all mapping technology guides drivers…. this is not the only way to get to the GRB. Although we will have officers working in that area to help the flow of traffic and pedestrians, we recommend to look up other ways to navigate in order to relieve the congestion in that area.
NRG Parking is on site and will be $25 per day. There are NO In/Out privileges.
