Draw Information

Tournament Format

• 2-Star events (formerly called Pro events) will consist of AAA and AA divisions and 1-Star events (formerly called Am events) will consist of A and B divisions

  • AAA (1st-16th) 16
  • AA (17th and lower) 8
  • A (1st-16th) 4
  • B (17th and lower) 2
• Please note that AAA players are not permitted to participate in 1-Star events, no matter who their partner is

Seeding/Ranking

• Once in a division, teams will be re-seeded based on the following criteria:
  • Total ranking points (average finishes) from the last year (2018) and the current year (2019). In the case of a tie, more weight will be placed on the most recent event
  • Subjective seeding by the Volleyball BC Players Committee. Volleyball BC reserves the right to make final decisions on seeding
