FORMAT

This tournament is one of USA Volleyball’s national qualifying tournaments and is governed by the rules set forth by them. It is a mandated 3-day tournament.

In the USA. Liberty, National & American divisions, the first two days are pool play, with the third being single-elimination bracket play. (Depending on the size of the field, some adaptations may be made to accommodate odd numbers.) In the Open divisions, challenge matches may follow pool play on the first two days, and some brackets may participate in pool play on the final day. *Typically AM Wave begins at 8 am, PM at 3:00 pm.

​

Bids to the GJNC are awarded in every division at the PNQ, so foreign teams are not allowed to participate.

​

All Open bids are determined by the number of teams in the division. The Qualifier Manual has this information.

Please refer to the Girls National Championship Manual for more information on number of bids, priority of bid use, trickle down process, etc. **TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURES

​

Since it cannot be determined where a team will finish, teams should not plan to travel until the evening on the third day of play. No match is scheduled later than 3 pm on the final day. **It is recommended that airline tickets be scheduled no earlier than 5:30 pm.

​

*No roster changes may be made once a team has commenced play.*
