Provincial Rankings

Following the Feb 28 – Mar 2 weekend, we will be sending out a “Coaches Poll” to all Head Coaches within each age group asking them to provide their ranking of teams within their category, with a compilation to be posted in Mid-March.  Those rankings will be used by the Competitions Committee, along with event results, to determine seedings for Provincials.

Process:

1) The Ranking Committees will meet two weeks in advance of each Provincial Championship weekend (i.e. April 6th, April 13th and April 20th).
Please note!  If you are hosting a tournament on one of these weekends, you must submit your results by 7pm Sunday for them to be included for consideration.

2) Rankings for each division will be posted the following Monday for teams to review.

3a) Teams will have until Tuesday at noon to review the rankings.  If a coach/club feels there is a major discrepancy, they may file a formal protest with the committee before noon on Tuesday.  Protests must be sent to volleyball.pd@sportmanitoba.ca, and must include detailed rationale for any potential adjustments.

3b) The committee will review and determine if any changes are necessary no later than Tuesday evening, at which point any update(s) will be communicated by email to any impacted teams.

4) Teams will be seeded in to the draw based on the final rankings and draws will be posted on Wednesdays (10 days out from the given event), or Tuesdays (if there are no protests).

Should there be a delay in posting at any point during the ranking process, clubs will be notified by email.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Anthony Roberts at volleyball.pd@sportmanitoba.ca.
