Also, I m excited that the Dale Rohde Memorial Boys Tournament will be again be joining the Badger Region Championships at the Wisconsin Center during the third weekend of the championships. The event has grown to 72 teams over the past six years. This event is a tribute to longtime Badger Region member Dale Rohde who was a huge supporter of boys volleyball in the Badger Region.

WELCOME TO THE 16TH ANNUAL RULES OF PLAY The 2017-19 USA Volleyball Regulations for Domestic Competition will be in effect. A step-in line WILL be used for 12-and-under divisions.

3 WELCOME TO THE 16TH ANNUAL RULES OF PLAY The USA Volleyball Regulations for Domestic Competition will be in effect. A step-in line WILL be used for 12-and-under divisions. (For the complete rules, see our region website, under officials. ) TEAM WORK CREW RESPONSIBILITIES The Badger Region will schedule a first referee for each match. Work teams will need to provide a second referee, official scorer, visual scorer, libero tracker and two line judges. An adult on the official roster needs to be courtside at all times. The work team needs to report to the first referee no later than the beginning of the serving team s warm-up. For each minute the work team is late or incomplete, one point will be given to their next opponent (up to 25-0 forfeit). A second offense will result in the loss of your next match. For the safety of all participants and spectators during junior competition, when one team has the exclusive use of the court, the other team should assist with shagging balls. Please note: If you lose your last match of the day, odds are very likely you ref the following match (despite the fact that the next match may be part of the afternoon wave). PROTESTS If a protest needs to be filed, it is to be done at the time of the incident, not later. The protest must be written on the score sheet by the official scorer or the R1, and must be signed by the person presenting the protest, the captains, as well as the R1. A protest committee formed by our Head Official will handle any protests prior to the next service. The committee will be formed from officials who are not working, available board members, staff and/or site directors. All decisions by the Protest Committee will be final. Judgment calls may not be protested. Protests will only be MATCH FORMAT, WARM-UPS, PLAYING SCHEDULE, TIEBREAKERS The first two rounds of play, warm-ups will be (2 minutes of shared ball handling followed by 4 minutes for each team beginning with the serving team). After that, warm-up will be 4-4 (four minutes for each team beginning with the serving team). Teams must serve within their court time. All attacking will be toward the Convention Center walls if possible. This year there are zero divider nets, so teams will have to help each other with ball shagging Matches are scheduled one hour apart. However, except for the first match of the day, the warm-up time for each match will begin immediately upon the completion of the previous match (that includes tie-breaker sets). The match will begin at the end of the official warm-up time. We ask coaches and their teams to monitor the progress on their court as matches will begin early if a match does not use up their allotted time period. All pools with four teams will play matches, 2 out of 3 sets. The first 2 sets are to 25 rally score points. All tie-breaking sets will be one set to 15 with rally scoring points (change sides at 8 points). Pools of five will play best two-out-of-three. If there is a three-way tie in a pool, a playoff to determine which team(s) go to gold will take place. Teams involved in the tie will be seeded based on set percentage then point differential if needed. The No. 2 seed will play the No. 3 seed while the No. 1 refs. If needed, the No. 1 seed will play the winner of that match to determine who goes to the gold bracket. If AES says No Future Matches Scheduled for playing or working purposes, that means that something is not finalized yet from your Day 1 pool. Be patient and make sure you know exactly when your next match (work or play) is set to take place. It might be later on Day 1.
