Non-rated players WARNING!!!

 

ATTENTION Captains, Members & Sandbaggers Non-Rated players

This info was recently posted on the NAGVA Facebook page and thought we would share.

 

The NAGVA Membership votes on proposed rule changes each season at Championships (May). Please be specifically aware of a new rule that impacts non-rated players and their team.
Section 2.04.B.1 of the NAGVA Rules & Regulations was amended to allow for modification of a player's initial rating during a tournament weekend based on observed play. The intent of this rule was to garner fair and even play throughout the entirety of each tournament. As such, if an unrated player is rated to a division higher than the one he/she is competing in at ANY time during a tournament (including during elimination rounds/day 2), that player will be immediately ineligible to compete any further with their team in that tournament (following the conclusion of the match they are currently playing in). As a team representative, please understand that it is your responsibility to know the level of any unrated players on your team, and to ensure that your teammates are competing at their full potential. We are always available and willing to help explain the difference between skills required in each division/rating. We are putting together resources for team captains to help them gather information from non-rated players and to estimate the player's NAGVA rating. Please let us know if you have any questions (in person, or email secretary@nagva.org) and good luck in future tournaments this season!

So, that explains what happened in Aloha Ball? (no direct source...just stalking people's Facebook page. Lol) according to the story, a non-rated was rated BB on pool play (team was playing BB) and thought that was it. On tournament play, the player was re-rated to A and to everyone's surprise she wasn't able to play the final match with his team. SUCKS! I think their team ended up getting 2nd place and struggled since she was the only setter in the team.

Do you think what happened was fair? Does this eliminate "sandbagging" which we know is very popular in NAGVA?

U B D Judge!

Itchy hands? OC Police will be on your A**!!!

These past weekend was the NAGVA sanctioned Irvine Aloha Ball (Long Beach tourney last season) held at Saddleback Valley Volleyball Club.

If you are friends with Drew Lee from SoCal then you've heard about his wallet missing that was inside his gym bag. Drew updated his status on facebook about the incident and OC Police has been called.

Little did this "itchy hands" know, the facility is surrounded by cameras and OC Police will be pulling a picture and will do further investigations.

Sure enough, OC Police works quick according to Drew's update today saying that they already requested surveillance cameras of all 3 locations. Transactions were made at Sports Chalet (located across the street from the facility) and Macy's by whoever stole Drew's wallet which makes it easier for OC Police to track down the suspect.

We hope they "GET HER!!!" From the looks of it, it's pretty obvious that a volleyball player would be the suspect ... ok ok ok "maybe". And hopefully this won't happen on future tournaments. It's sad that people would do this and it would suck if we know the person who did it! Blah!

----- O -----

UPDATE (as of 8/23): Drew: The person that did it didn't waste anytime.. went straight to SPORTS CHALET across the street as their start up.. then got their game on with over $2,500 within a 20 minute span at South Coast Plaza!.. can you say bye gurl bye? I love security cameras. :)

UPDATE (as of 9/6):does anybody remember an Asian male (early 20's) black t-shirt, long black board shorts & ESP wearing a bright blue high tops Nike's two weeks ago at the Aloka Tournament? Please let me know!
