How do I know what tournament I just entered?

When you receive your confirmation code online and your confirmation email, you will see a code that tells you the information about the tournament. For example, it might say:

         IRV G18 Oct 23 Des Moines

IRV means Iowa Region Volleyball
G18 means that it is an 18u tournament at the Gold Level
Oct 23 is the date of the tournament
Des Moines is the city location of the tournament

 When can I begin entering my team into tournaments?

All teams may begin entering tournaments on December 3, 2011.  Age groups will open for entry every 30 minutes beginning at 8am.  Once an age group opens for entry, it will stay open.

• 8am--12u and younger tournaments
• 8:30am--13u and 14u tournaments
• 9am--15u and 16u tournaments
• 9:30am--17u and 18u tournaments

 What do the Power, Gold, and Silver tournament levels mean?
