As most are well aware, Volleyball Canada has recently released revised rules for the upcoming volleyball season.

The most noteworthy of these rules are that it is no longer loss of point and serve if a player goes under the net, nor is it a loss of point in a player touches the net in a way that doesn’t affect the play (excluding of course touching the white tape, which is loss of point).

For the upcoming season, for the safety of all our players in all divisions, CVNS will NOT be adopting the new rules put forth by Volleyball Canada. The issue may be revisited in the future, but safety of the players is the number one concern for CVNS, and at this time we believe that not introducing these rules is the safest route for everybody playing.

The gym locations for the October 2009 tournament are as follows:

Competitve – Stad
Super Rec A – Auburn High
Super Rec B – Sackville High

It is very important that all team captains from the COMPETITIVE division email Sophie (Sophie dot Pitre-Arseneault at dfo-mpo dot gc dot ca) their team lists as security at Stad has tightened up this year.

Tournaments start at 9am, sharp!

Check the registrations page to see where you’re playing.

See you out there and have fun!

2008-09 CVNS captains will have until Aug. 15, 2009 to send in their cheques for 2009-10 season – this simply means that all teams are still registered to play in the same divisions at last year (competitive, Super Rec A, Super Rec B) until Aug. 15, 2009 or unless otherwise specified. This will provide time for last year’s teams to come up with a full roster for the 2009-10 season.

Please note: After August 15, 2009, we will accept new teams in all divisions. Please send your cheques to Kevin Reade as soon as possible as there is much interest in all divisions.

Super Rec. A was a real close race this year with only 6 points between 1st and 9th place. We also ended up with a tie for 2nd that had to go to the win/loss % to break it since both teams had the same number of pool points.

SR-A:
1. Network – 65pts
2. Netscape – 63pts – .696
3. Prime # – 63pts – .563

SR-B:
1. The Replacements – 61pts
2. Recyclables – 60pts – 52 pool points
3. Flock of Seagulls – 60pts – 43 pool points

NOTE: The score sheet for pool 2 had the final placings on the day done incorrectly and I updated it. Fall River, Size Matters and Pinnacle all had 7 points on the day and they were placed 4th, 2nd & 3rd respectively. As stated in the rules, if a tie between more than 3 teams occurs we do a +/- percentage (between the tied teams) to figure out the standings.

Fall River: 82 for / 85 against for a -3
Size Matters: 88 for / 75 against for a +13
Pinnacle: 79 for / 89 against for a -10

So Pinnacle came 4th and Fall River came 3rd on the day.

Competitive also came down to the final tournament and with “The Law” winning the tournament, it forced a tie for first with “Zoo Crew”. Unfortunately for “The Law” they split two matches today only getting 2pts for each and giving them 10 pool pts on the day. “Zoo Crew” ended up maintaining first place because overall this year they had 2 more pool points than “The Law”.

Competitive:
1. Zoo Crew – 98pts – 84 pool points
2. The Law – 98pts – 82 pool points
3. Prodigy Sports – 79pts
