USA Volleyball Chesapeake Region

2005-2006 Season
Information for CHRVA Tournament Hosts

Before the Day of Your Tournament
  1. Not less than six (6) weeks prior to the date of your tournament, complete the CHESAPEAKE REGION TOURNAMENT SANCTION REQUEST FORM (CHRVA Form 2).  Do not complete the “ACTUAL” Column at this time.  It is suggested that you review and fill out the "Tournament Expense Worksheet" which will help you to estimate the "TOURNAMENT EXPENSES" part of the Sanction Request Form. Also complete the TOURNAMENT INVITATION AND TOURNAMENT CONTRACT (CHRVA Form 3).   Send both the CHRVA Form 2 and CHRVA Form 3 to the Tournament Chair.  The original copy of CHRVA Form 2, approved or disapproved, will be returned to you.  Any conditions/restrictions placed on your tournament will be indicated on the Sanction Form. 
    1.  
    2. After your Sanction Request has been approved, any changes you wish to make, prior to the date of your tournament, must be approved by the Tournament Chair.

    3.  
    4. If you want to invite an out-of-region team(s), you must inform the appropriate Division Coordinator.  You must provide the team name, and the name, address, and telephone number (email address) of the team representative.  You are authorized to reserve one pool position per court for identified out-of-region teams.  If you desire to invite out-of-region teams at-large, they will be accepted in your tournament on a space available basis only.
  1. You are responsible for obtaining insurance coverage for your tournament.  This coverage is provided by the Region and is free to all tournament hosts.  Insurance forms and applications instructions can be obtained from the Region Commissioner or from the CHRVA Forms Archive at http://www.chrva.org/Forms/forms_archive.html. Contact the Region Commissioner if you have additional questions regarding insurance.

  2.  
  3. You are responsible for providing  nets, net supports, referee stands, antennas, lineup sheets and scoresheets (copies of which may be downloaded from the Forms Archive - reproduction is authorized), volleyballs, and all other equipment, etc., necessary to conduct your tournament in accordance with Region rules and the Official United States Volleyball Rules.  It is also recommended that you have blank roster forms available for teams who need to submit a roster.

  4.  
  5. The Division Coordinator will send you, at least 10 days before the date of your tournament, the tournament playing schedule, the rosters of teams accepted in your event, and the entry fees.  If your event is not “full” as of its Closing Date, the Coordinator will work with you to fill all pool positions up until the day of the event.  Filling a tournament AFTER the Closing Date is technically the responsibility of the tournament host.  However, we make it a joint effort between you and the Coordinator and YOU must maintain contact with and assist the Coordinator up to the date of your event. 

  6.  
  7. Make sure your own team(s) applies for your tournament!  Unless your team(s) applies, in accordance with Region Rules and Procedures, they may possibly be rejected for play in their own event.  It has happened in the past!!!
