In general, except as specified below, the Yankee Championships & Regional’s
follow the rules of USA Volleyball (USAV).
Rosters:
Rosters will be frozen at the end of pool play. Additions to the roster can
occur at anytime as long as the TD has been notified. No additions once
playoffs start.
A player may not be removed from a roster in Championships once the team
plays their first match.
If a player in Championships becomes injured and a new player addition puts
the team over the maximum points allowed. The team may request that their
roster be edited by the TD. An edited roster means that the present and all
previous match’s are recorded as forfeits. Once the edited roster is
approved by the TD, the team then can continue to play with a legal roster
and allowed to make playoffs. This only occurs when less than 50% of that
teams match’s have been played. If more than 50% have been played then the
remaining match[s] will be forfeited.
Rating requirements are listed below. New 2010: Roster’s do not have to meet
a minimum point requirement to enter. A team cannot start playing in the
tournament if they are over the maximum points. Teams that go over the
maximum range for any reason during the tournament will be DQ’d. They will
be allowed to complete play pool (record counts against other teams), but
will be ineligible for playoffs or work playoffs. In the case of a 6 team
championship when everybody makes playoffs, the DQ’d team will forfeit their
playoff match and still are required to work the next playoff round.
TD’s will verify roster ratings/membership status.
There are no 1-day memberships allowed for Yankee Championships.
One day memberships will be allowed for regionals.
Women are not allowed to play in men’s regionals, but can play in men’s Yankee
championships. Women’s ratings are lowered by 1 point when playing men’s tourneys.
For CR and RCO tournaments, only the 3 highest rated players of each gender
count towards the team max/min. A team can not be more than +3 in either gender.
Players can not play more than 3 levels below their rating. An A- player can
not play in a C+ tournament.
For Yankee championships, teams may play with a ghost player. The ghost player
takes the rating of the tournament. If a player is replace by a ghost during a
game due to injury, that player may not return until the next set [game]. A
newly arrived player may take the ghosts spot. A ghost may not take the place
of an expelled player. If a player is expelled and there is no legal substitute
(exceptional not allowed), the team forfeits that game.
For regional’s, if a team has less than 6 players they will forfeit.
Rosters should be posted by the end of the first round.

Illegal uniforms: #0 or 00 only, 3 digit #, dark colored # on dark shirt, light
colored # on light shirt & number’s in the shirt design when the number is not easy
to see. If you have an illegal uniform you will NOT BE ALLOWED TO PLAY.
Libero uniform must be highly contrasting. For Yankee championships, it must be
contrasting to the ENTIRE team. 2-3 different colors and a libero could be a problem.
See head ref before you play. If a libero uniform issue is discovered while teams
are being lined up, the libero’s status can be changed to a bench player and allowed
to sub for the set. Illegal libero uniform cannot be protested.

Match play & playoffs.
Warm-up: [Poolplay] A teams first warm-up is 7 minutes shared, 4 minutes shared
after that
[Playoffs] 5 minutes shared at the beginning of each round. In Co-ed rev, when
switching net heights in playoffs it will be the standard 3 minute interval
between games.
Work teams: It is up to the team captain to be aware when your team is scheduled to
work. It is not the responsibility of the referee to find you. 2 penalty points per
minute will be accessed for incomplete work teams. A complete work team is defined
as: Two line judges in position, an accredited R2 w/whistle, an accredited
scorekeeper [score sheet filled out], libero tracker & score flipper [can be the
same person only at locations of limited space]
Work teams should be available early for referee instructions. Penalty points occur
1 minute after the scheduled warm up is over. Referee will inform TD of penalty at
the end of the match, this cannot be protested.
All tournaments will be a round robin format.
If there is a situation where all playing teams do not play the same amount of games,
percentage of wins will decide playoff seating over total wins.
When 6 teams make playoffs, 1st and 2nd will work the quarters. If there is a tie
breaker for the 6th spot, 1st will work the tie breaker.
The last losing team in playoffs/ playin works the next round.
Quarter finals, one game 0 to 25 points, switch sides at 13 points. Semis & finals
will be best of 2 out of 3 to 25, starting at 4, 3rd to 15 starting at 0 switch at 8.
Work teams for playoffs TBA.
Tie breaks:
Teams will be seeded and teams tied for the last playoff spot will play [1] 21 point
game, starting at 4, switching sides at 15. In cases where there are multiple
tiebreakers the game will be 0-15 switching at 8.
Teams will be seeded according to:
1) Head to head games amongst tied teams
2) Head to head point differential amongst tied teams
3) Overall point differential
4) Coin flip
MVP:
The TD will select the tournament MVP.
Generally the MVP will be on the winning team, sometimes on the runner up. Input
should be taken throughout the day to get a feel for who is really helping their
team. MVP selection should not necessarily pick the best overall player (a B+
should look good at a B- tournament) but the most valuable. Generally, it’s someone
who elevated their play above what is expected and had an overall impact on team
performance.
Winner of regional stipend:
A stipend eligible team is defined as: Registered for Nationals in that division,
5 members from the national roster must have played in the tournament.
The highest seeded or winning team playing team will received a $250 stipend. If
the tournament winner was NOT a national team and a higher seat was not an obvious
conclusion then a one game to 21 points will be played.
Examples to play a stipend tie breaker:
1] Same record, did not play head to head, did not make playoffs
2] Same record, did not play head to head, made playoffs but lost in the same round
[Do not use points to determine stipend winner]
Pools:
| 5 teams | 8 games 21 points, top 2 make playoffs |
| 6 teams | 5 games to 25 points, everybody makes playoffs |
| 7 teams | 8 games to 21 points, top 3 make playoffs |
