A Few Tournament Notes....

A few notes for the new parents and players:

All matches will be best 2 out of 3 sets. Score will start at 0-0 and go to 25, but the winning team must win by 2 points, so it could go higher than 25. If each team wins one set, then the 3rd set is played to 15 and the teams change sides when one of the scores gets to 8.

The final match is best 3 out of 5 sets.

This is double elimination meaning that you must lose 2 matches to be eliminated from the competition. Lose once and you go to the bottom (losers) bracket and work your way back up. You can lose in the top bracket and still make it to the finals and still win the whole tournament.

In case you have trouble reading the brackets in the post below. The Brass team plays at 5PM on Court 2. If they win they play at 7PM andp if they lose they will play at 8PM.

Bronze team plays at 12PM (noon) on court 1. Win and they play at 4. Lose and they play at 6.

After each match you will need to check the schedule after each match to see when and where you play next. Also, if you lose you will probably ref the next match on the court where you just lost.

Remind your players that this is a game and we play for fun. They don't need to stress, they just need to relax, have fun and play.

The Guys A Team took home the shirts 

after winning the OKHVL Guys Tournament! 

Way to go Guys A Team!  CONGRATULATIONS! 

The Incredibles have many reasons to rejoice and be thankful.  It was a long day of hard playing volleyball.  It started early with the Ladies Team winning their first match in two games.  Way to go Ladies!  They played hard and smart to enter into the next round.  They weren't able to progress any further after that but still played wonderfully!  Their coach was especially pleased with her girls and very proud of them.  The Guys B Team faced unexpected challenges this tournament with three of their players not available to play in the tournament.  Fortunately, three Brass players were willing to step up and help out.  The newly formed Guys B Team gave it their all and have every reason to be proud.  The day finished out with the Guys A Team taking the tournament after winning 3 of 4 games in the final match.  Lots of great volleyball and mass amounts of LOUD cheering filled the gym throughout the day.  All games  played in the tournament were fun, exciting and somewhat stressful as each player gave it their best.  We praise God for His hand of blessing upon the Incredibles thus far this season.

We now look forward to seeing all God has planned for the Incredibles during the Gold & Silver Tournament on March 8 & 9 and the Bronze & Brass Tournament on March 16 & 17.  One thing will be sure, there will be lots of great volleyball played with many folks cheering!
