Seeding
Seeding for the KRVA Champions Cup and Capitol City Freeze will be based on all tournament results reported and verified through the Monday preceding each tournament. Seeding will be based on the coefficient of the top 4 finishes. Ties will be broken by the average points of the top 4 finishes. If a team competes in less than 4 events, they will be counted as zeros.
No points shall be awarded for events following the KRVA Champions Cup.
USAV Qualifiers, Boston Volleyball Festival, and Capital Hill Classic results must be reported by the Club Director within 48 hours of the conclusion of the event. If the event is the weekend preceding a KRVA Region event (Capital City Freeze or Champion’s Cup), the results are still due by Monday at 12 PM.
Results will NOT be accepted from anyone other than the Club Director.
KRVA tournament directors are strongly encouraged to use these rankings to seed their own events.
