Alliance Tournament Formatting, Covid Policies and General Information/Admission
Event Formatting
Alliance has been working with our SRVA Region and head officials to approve a modified event format for all Alliance hosted events. Alliance feels this new format maximizes the health and safety of all attendees without impacting the number of matches played.
Alliance is formatting events to eliminate officiating teams and "off" teams. This format will reduce the number of attendees in the facility by 50%, and limit unnecessary interactions between pools, brackets, and divisions. Teams will each have a flipchart to keep up with the score. Up officials will be provided a modified scoresheet to track rotation, substitutions, and score while on the stand. Alliance will hire official bookkeepers for all championship matches.
To the best of our ability, Alliance will be formatting pool play with 4 team pools played on 2 courts simultaneously. Teams will check-in, warm-up, play three matches in a row, and then exit the facility immediately after they have finished pool play. This will allow the facility to be sanitized via electrostatic sprayer before the next wave enters the gym.
Alliance plans to run 4 waves on Saturdays
8:00am - 11:00am
11:30am - 2:30pm
3:00pm - 6:00 pm
6:30pm - 9:30pm.
Due to this COVID format, events will finish 30 min later than typical on Saturdays, while minimizing interactions with extraneous groups.
For bracket play, Alliance will be utilizing 4 team and 8 team brackets as much as possible. On Sundays, Alliance is scheduling 15 min between each bracket to minimize contact between brackets and other divisions.
Our goal is to provide a safe and healthy environment while doing our best to provide a full tournament experience; 5 matches over 2 days including pool and bracket play.
