| A. |
All qualifiers,
automatic or at-large, are required to submit an accurate, complete and
signed CCS Volleyball Season Summary Sheet prior to the start of the
Volleyball Seeding Meeting in order to be entered into the tournament.
All teams who have qualified and are in compliance with this
requirement and those covered in all other portions of these bylaws, will enter a
single-elimination bracket format as follows:
Proposal: |
|
| Division I: |
10 Team
Tournament |
Division IV: |
10 Team Tournament |
| Division II: |
10 Team Tournament |
Division V: |
8-Team Tournament |
| Division III: |

+6 "floaters" (see Section 5.-A. below) |
|
Total = 54

|
| B. |
All Automatic Qualifiers
meeting the provisions of Section 4., 5., and 6. below are guaranteed a spot in the Tournament as long as they have
submitted their completed, accurate and signed Season Summary Sheet prior
to the beginning of the seeding meeting and are a team in good standing in
their district, league, CCS and CIF in all other regards. If the Automatic Qualifiers in any
Division exceeds the # of teams as listed above, that Division will be expanded to accommodate such
Automatic Qualifiers. Such
action, when necessary, will decrease the number of "floater"
teams that are able to be entered. (See Section
5.-A.-4.
below) |
| C. |
All matches prior to Quarter-Finals in the
Tournament
will be played at home sites, as specified in Section
5.-H. below. |
|
| Section 4. QUALIFYING CRITERIA FOR ENTERING TOURNAMENT |
| A. |
ENTRIES |
|
The five[5]-Division Tournament brackets,
as described above, shall be
comprised of the following:
- League Champion from each League;
- plus, one [1] additional
Automatic Qualifier from every
League (except the MTAL(Coastal) in compliance with Section
5.-A. below;
- plus, selected At-Large entries;
- plus, At-Large "floater" teams, as specified in Section 4.-C. and Section
5.-A. below.
(No Division's bracket may exceed a total of 16 teams.) |
| B. |
SUPPLEMENTAL LEAGUES |
|
When two [2] or more basic Leagues join together to
form supplemental Leagues, the following shall apply: |
|
1. |
When two
[2] or more supplemental Leagues are formed by the joining of two [2] or
more basic Leagues that each had two [2] Automatic
Qualifiers to CCS Play-offs, the new supplemental Leagues shall retain the total of their
previous Automatic Qualifiers (e.g., League A and B each have two [2] Automatic
Qualifiers. When new supplemental Leagues are formed combining A & B, they will have
a total of four [4] Automatic Qualifiers). |
|
2. |
The League
Board of Managers having governance authority over the supplemental Leagues
shall determine in its bylaws how those Automatic Qualifiers will be allocated from the
supplemental Leagues. In the absence of a basic League tournament to determine
Section
qualifiers, the basic League MUST allocate an automatic berth to each of the supplemental
League Champions. |
| C. |
AT-LARGE APPLICATIONS |
|
Leagues may designate teams to apply for At-Large consideration, if they meet at
least one [1] of the following criteria: |
|
1. Have a League record of at least
.500; or |
|
2. Have an out-of-League record of at least .500.
(No waiver may be granted by
Leagues for any
team not meeting the above criteria.) |
| D |
DIVISION PLACEMENT |
|
The previous school year's grades
9-12 CBEDS enrollment figures, will be used to place schools
in their respective divisions. |
|
• All schools
with enrollment of 500 and below shall be placed in Division V.The remaining
schools will be split equally into Divisions I-IV.
• If more that one school has
the same enrollment at the "point of division", all schools with that
enrollment would be placed in the higher of the two divisions.
• If the number of
schools was not a multiple of four, the "extra" school(s) would be placed
beginning in the higher division(s).
• Division placement of
all member schools for girls volleyball will take place no later than April
15 of each year.
• When determining the
divisions, the CCS staff will utilize a list of enrollments without school
names attached to insure objectivity.
• Note: The state has put
enrollment caps on Division IV (1250) and Division V (500), however, if
divided into four equal divisions by enrollment, our Division IV and V
member schools must still fall within those guidelines |

Section 5. SEEDING, AT-LARGE, SELECTION AND BRACKING PROCEDURES
The following objective criteria will be used for
purposes of seeding and selecting At-Large entries: |
| A. |
All
teams wishing to enter the Tournament shall be listed on the board by
their League Representatives;(31 Automatic entries, selected At-Large entries and+6 "floaters;" not
to exceed a total of 54 teams) |
|
1. |
Automatic Qualifiers will be listed by
the League, in order of League finish (31); |
|
2. |
All other teams will be listed on the
At-Large board; |
|
3. |
Schools will be identified by their
Division of enrollment; |
|
|
4. |
Automatic Qualifiers and
At-Large teams for each Division will be
selected until the minimum # of teams is met for that Division. If any Division does not have sufficient entries to complete their minimum, an
additional floater entry will be added to the
Tournament for each “missing” team. If any Division exceeds it’s minimum with Automatic Qualifiers, one
(1) "floater" entry will be removed for each such Automatic
Qualifying team; |
|
5. |
The
At-Large "floater" entries will then be selected by the use of
power-points to reach the total of
54 teams in the Tournament. Each
"floater" team selected shall be
entered into their Division of enrollment. No Division bracket may exceed a total of 16 teams. |
