3. Regional Tie Breaker Method

In the case of a 3-way tie (all teams win a match), the Tournament Director must call the CHSAA Volleyball Administrator BEFORE the tie breaker in order to verify (720-581-8102). All involved teams must sign off verifying they are in agreement that the tie was broken accurately using the following method. For regionals, there will be a 15-minute break and then the 15-minute warm-up will begin.

· REGIONALS: If there is a three-way tie for only one qualifying spot, determine set percentage among TIED teams. The two lowest set percentage teams will play one set to 25 points (no cap). The winner will then immediately play the highest set percentage team to determine the top seed/qualifying spot in question. If two teams are tied with the highest set percentage, use head-to-head to break the tie. THERE MUST BE TWO, ONE-SET PLAYOFFS.

a. If tie isn't broken, then same procedure will be followed taking point differential among TIED teams (eliminate non-tied teams).

b. If the tie isn’t broken, then the same procedure will be followed taking the set percentage among ALL teams.

c. If tie isn't broken, then a coin flipwill occur.  All three teams will flip at the same time.  You must flip until one team flips differently than the other two (i.e. 2 heads and 1 tails).  The “odd” team out (tails in this case) will be set aside and the other two will play the first set to 25.  The loser will be #3; the winner will then play the “odd” team out one set to 25 to determine #1 and #2.

4. Regional Matchups MUST DO’S:

a. Please create the match-ups in MaxPreps

b. Text Bethany (720-581-8102) the results from each match during the regionals. NOT individual sets, just FINAL match scores.
