Pool Play

Pool play will consist of all teams playing every other team in their pool once. Pools will be made by the SRA with the intention of having even pools based on rankings and past tournament results.
 

Bracket Play

Teams will be seeded in a bracket based on the pool play results. Each division will have its own bracket. Brackets will have a maximum of 32 teams so some divisions will have two brackets if necessary.

Youth

There are some really talented youth players and can't wait to see them compete in their own division. Players must be 13 or under on the day of the tournament.

Beginner

Playing in your first Spikeball tournament? Still mastering the fundamentals? If you want to play against other teams who are still learning the sport this is the division for you. It will be the only division with a "gentleman's serve" rule and the vibe will be a relaxed, fun environment.

*A division must have 8 teams registered to be held. If there are not 8 teams when registration closes, teams may choose to change to a different division or receive a refund. If both women's divisions or high school/youth do not have 8 teams registered then they will be combined.
