During Pool Play

     Teams are assigned work assignments for matches during pool play.  The work team must provide the following competent personnel for each match assigned:

• Certified 1st referee (for one pool-play match designated by the Head Referee),
• 2nd referee,
• Certified scorekeeper,
• Assistant scorekeeper for libero tracking, and
• Two line judges.

If a team’s designated referee fails to work as scheduled, the team will be subject to a $50.00 fee, payable to the Tournament Host, which must be paid before the team may compete again, either in the same tournament or subsequent tournaments, including the Regional Championships.

During Play-Offs

     Teams MUST check with the Tournament Director BEFORE LEAVING FOR THE DAY to see whether or not they are required to work.  The work team must provide the following competent personnel for play-off matches:

• 2nd referee (depending on the play-off round),
• Certified scorekeeper,
• Assistant scorekeeper for libero tracking, and
• Two line judges.

1st Round of Play-Offs

• Teams with a bye in the 1st round of play-offs.
• The loser of the last game of the last pool-play match of the day.
• The winner of the last game of the last pool-play match of the day if the loser is in the play-offs.
• Work team from last pool-play match of the day if both teams playing in the last pool-play match are in the play-offs.

Subsequent Rounds of Play-Offs

• The losing teams of each round just concluded.

Final Match of Play-Offs

• The work team for the final match will be the semifinal loser with the least distance to travel, based upon the home address of the Team Representative.

• A team failing to perform any scheduled work team assignment due to an unintended oversight will be fined $25.00, and no suspension will be imposed.  
• If a team refuses to perform any scheduled work team assignment, the team will be subject to disciplinary action.  In this instance, depending upon the circumstances, the team may be subject to fines from $50.00 to $200.00 and/or suspension from 30 to 90 days from Regular Season and Regional Championship competition.  In addition, the team will forfeit all remaining matches scheduled during the tournament in favor of their match opponents and any playoff position they may have earned.  
• If the failure to perform a work team assignment is the result of a scheduling conflict or unforeseen change in the schedule, no disciplinary action will be taken.

     Any violation report from a Tournament Host or Tournament Director must be made within five (5) days of the date of the tournament, or it will not be considered or acted upon by the Region.  Failure to report a violation in a timely manner may subject the host to disciplinary action.
