The Open Scrimmage will be held
on April 15th , 2008, at Brandeis H.S. , located on 84th
Street between Columbus & Amsterdam and will begin at
7:00 p.m. We get a large turnout at the Open Scrimmage by
players of all abilities. Come and play volleyball and by the
end of that night you will be on a team with players on your
level. Each team created at the Open Scrimmage will have 10
players. Each player is entitled to play at least half the game.
NOTE: No one will be placed on a team at the Open Scrimmage
who hasn't paid that night. Also, do not come to the Open Scrimmage
if you already have a team. Teams that need to recruit players
should contact the league office prior to the Open Scrimmage.

Each team will play 10 matches. Matches begin the week
of April 21st and continue for the next ten. The top four teams in each division make the playoffs
which conclude in June. Following the divisional playoffs
we have the QUADS, interdivisional playoffs for the winners
of each division. The QUADS are broken down by levels, four
divisions per level. Matches, including warmups, take approximately
one hour and fifteen minutes; not one hour, like other
leagues. Teams play once a week. Match nights vary from Monday
to Thursday each week, with 1 Friday game (perfect night to go for a beer afterward!) Starting times vary among 6:30,
7:45, and 9:00 p.m.

on so many levels! Teams are placed in competitive divisions
based on a pre-season scrimmage, along
with discussions with team captains, to ensure that teams are
placed in the appropriate levels. |
