New Year’s Volleyball Bash Schedule
Occasionally, there are unavoidable changes that happen after the schedule is posted on Tuesday. It is best practice to check back the day before the tournament to ensure there have been no changes.

Tie-Breaking Protocol
Tie-breaking matches will not be played in this event. In the event of a tie in pool play, the tie will be broken based on head-to-head results (where two teams are tied for one position), set percentage or point percentage in that order. If any teams are still tied after comparing point percentage, a coin flip will break the tie.
Consolation Matches (CHANGES THIS YEAR)
Over the summer, we sent a survey to 128 Club directors to propose tournament changes that were suggested to us throughout the 2024 season. Results for most proposed changes were to keep things just the way that they have been. However, there was one item that went against that trend: the option to eliminate consolation matches for silver and bronze brackets at our local-level tournaments. The overwhelmingly majority of club directors do not prefer to play consolation matches for silver and bronze brackets. As a result, the consolation matches for the silver and bronze brackets will not be played at this tournament.
Team Referee Obligations
Referee schedules are included in the pool assignments. With few exceptions, teams losing in bracket play on Sunday will ref the next match on that court. It is possible that your team will have to ref the match before you play, regardless of your match time. If you are scheduled to ref the match before you play, please be in place no later than 15 minutes prior to the start time.
Real-Time, Online Updates
Results will be continuously posted in real time on advancedeventsystems.com. Lastly, participants may wish to spare themselves the walk to the central desk at this and every AES-scheduled tournament thereafter by downloading the AES app. Simply go to the app store, search for aes xpress, and follow the prompts.
