CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES

Here are some of the Open/AA and A/BB Championship games from previous tournaments!

NO  DOUCHEBAGS  POLICY

One signature rule we enforce at our Elevate Tournaments is NO DOUCHEBAGS ALLOWED.  You can be competitive, talk trash, get hyped, etc.  But, don't be a dick about it.  Once the game is over, do not be aggressive or "deal" with the opponent.  You will be given a warning for the first offense of Douchey Behavior, and the second time, you will be asked to leave without refund.  Please immediately report all incidents to me and the Tournament Director.  Team Captains, please keep your players in check!

UNIFORMS  REQUIRED

We are excited to announce that All Volleyball will be providing a 15% DISCOUNT on their personalized Custom Fuze uniforms to all teams participating in our tournament!  You can customize your own jerseys, shorts, long sleeves, and hoodies with their amazing online customize software that's easy to use!  Here's how to order your uniforms:

1. Complete team registration
2. Create a personalized uniform with the Custom Fuze software
3. Email [email protected] with your team name to confirm registration with subject "Custom Fuze Jerseys"
4. There is a 14 day minimum turnaround time from the day you place your order.​

We strive to provide a professional and high level experience for all teams, so each team must have matching jerseys and shorts that meet standard uniform guidelines (color and design must match for non-libero players, visible numbers on the front and back, contrasting color for libero jersey).  You can wear the same jerseys for future Elevate Tournaments!

LEVEL  DESCRIPTIONS

Please honestly rank your teams so we can accurately seed pools, so everyone can have the best experience possible.
BB Level : Players have competed in previous volleyball tournaments and leagues with intermediate skill or higher
A Level : 1-2 players have played in college, semi/full pro
AA Level : 3-4 players have played in college, semi/full pro
Open Level : All or at least 5 players have played in college, semi/full pro

RULES + FORMAT

• Teams that show up late will be penalized 2 points for each minute they are late after the official start time.  After 10 minutes, they forfeit that set.  So don't be late!
• Teams that do not have matching uniforms will NOT be allowed to compete and will receive no refund
• Teams must have a minimum of 5 players to start a game.  Once the game is started, any player can sub for one of the 5, but the team cannot be expanded to a full 6 until the next set.
• Teams must have the same gender competing on their teams (no males playing on women's teams, no women's teams playing on men's teams).
