I'm trying to find the results for the AVC 18s qualifier, but AES is not updating. Is this something that is done by the tourney director? Or is AES not working properly?

Thanks! I'm not sure what I did, but I'm sure it was probably operator error. |

So what’s next on the horizon? Major qualifiers to keep an eye on? It feels like everyone (including myself) had Triple Crown NIT to look forward to and now it almost seems as if that was nationals🤣

Metro dominated at the Capitol Hill Classic. They finished 36-0 and only lost two sets.
Metro 16 lost one of those two sets to Revolution PGH in the quarter finals. They had not allowed a team to reach 20's in the entire tournament and had beaten Revolution in game one 25-13. The second game Revolution won 25-21. I could only watch only the tail end of that second game, but the Metro passing seemed off. The third game Revolution battled early, up until 6's but Metro pulled away 15-8. Emerson Sellman played some impressive defense to change the momentum in the game. She is also a pretty dominating left side pin hitter to compliment one of the better 16 pin hitters in the country in Macaria Spears. A lot of depth on this team. They run a 6/2 with three impressive setters, Erin Debiec, Natalie Nguyen and Clara Yu. The latter two setters are on the small side but Erin stands at 6'1". While she is a good front row player Metro has so much depth they have right sides that are better and she rotates out when she gets to the front row. I'm certain once they run out of subs they run a 5/1 around Erin but I have not seen that happen yet.
The Metro 15 team also lost the other set, losing the first 25-12 against Elite Volleyball Training Center in Ohio. Don't know what happened in that first set but Metro came back to win the next two 25-20 and 15-13. The finals were a bit anti climatic with Metro beating Volley FX 25-9 and 25-21.
Some other clubs that performed well at Capital Hill included another Chesapeake Region club Paramount, who has probably overtaken Virginia Juniors as the second best club in the Region. They took second in the 17's and 16's. The only set Paramount 16 lost was the two to Metro 25-21 and 25-22 in the finals.
Puerto Rico had a good representative in Borinquen. Their 16's and 17's took third. I didn't seem them play but I noticed some of their players watching the 16 game between Metro and Revolution. They seemed a bit on the smaller side, especially when you compare them to Metro. They lost to Metro 16 in the semi finals 25-17 and 25-20.
Elite Volleyball Training Center had their 18's finish second and their 15's third.
Volley FX 15 had a good showing. The only sets they lost were the two in the final when they played Metro.
The Chesapeake Region looks to have a bright future. The 13's were the strongest group I have ever seen since I have been in this area. The Metro 13 team could only qualify for silver and eight of the top nine top teams were Chesapeake. VAVA and Paramount are existing clubs that formed 13 teams for the first time this year and both are strong. Most of those girls will probably gravitate toward Metro as they get older, but some will filter to the other clubs making the Region stronger.

It feels like everyone (including myself) had Triple Crown NIT to look forward to and now it almost seems as if that was nationals🤣 Probably felt that way because so many of the teams that don't do qualifiers were also there. Teams that don't see each other the rest of the year got to play against one another. |

Just for fun - let's take a look at Capital Hill Classic. According to Sportswrench, you add up the teams that are registered and accepted and you actually have 1,291 teams (they have a number of boys age groups but the 750 number that Tawa quoted in volleyballmag does not seem to be accurate). The registration fee is $895. 1,291 X $895 = $1,155,445. So that is a good starting point for revenue. Now let's assume rosters average 12 girls (or boys) per team. Let's assume both parents are going to want to see their kids play. Taking 1,291 teams and multiplying by 12 gives you 15,492 girls and multiplying that by two gives you 30,984 spectators. The cost of admission is $18. 30,984 X 18 = $557,712. Add $1,155,445 + $557,712 = $1,713,157. That is a nice revenue stream for a weekend of work and that does not include any sponsorship money. Now there are expenses such as paying employees to set up the volleyball courts and putting down the tiles and working the event. There is also the rent for the convention center and probably advertising costs. But it is still a pretty nice haul. I'm sure there is also some insurance costs that go into setting up such an event, but there seems to be a pretty good revenue stream in holding a successful tournament. Look more closely. $18 for each day. For tournaments this big (more than 40 courts), the convention center is usually covered by grants/ sponsors or given rent free and the other tournament only need to pay for staffing. That's why USA Volleyball nationals are always in the same cities over and over again. |

I'm sure there is also some insurance costs that go into setting up such an event, but there seems to be a pretty good revenue stream in holding a successful tournament. Don't forget the Referee costs. At $28-35/match, that adds up quickly. 650 matches, 8 matches per team comes out to 5000 matches. At $32, that makes $160K for refs You would actually halve the number of matches, since each one counts for 2 teams. So if there's 1,000 teams playing 8 matches each, you have 4,000 matches. The cost of sport court rental is not insignificant either, you're looking at $5-600 per court for the weekend, plus setup costs (which can be huge if it's a union building) and shipping. If there's 90 courts in the building you're looking at around 15 semi trucks worth of equipment. And, don't forget you have to house all your staff and officials. Most tournaments get a decent number of comp rooms back but usually not enough to cover everyone. There's definitely money to be made though, especially for qualifiers since there's a limited supply and stay to play is a big money maker. |

Some great volleyball this past week at Bluegrass. Although certainly not as competitive as NIT a few teams certainly stepped up.
16 Open - A5 Gabe waltzed through the 16's division to capture the crown. Pretty sure they did not drop a set the entire tournament. They looked dominant.
17 Open- Circle City took home the crown taking out Academy in 3 sets. The first set was dominated by CC but Academy fought back to take it to three but could not keep up the momentum. Chloe contniued to shine and really stood out.
18 Open - SPVB 18 Elite took out Triple Crown winner Munciana in two sets and pretty much controlled the entire match dominating the final. Ella Wrobel had a great showing. Also, the word was clearly out that Eva Hudson decommited as coaches were swarming her court all weekend.
