Getting to the Gym
A map for getting to the gym is available here. This is the same gym we use for the DCPVL Competitive League. Players should use the main entrance usually used for competitive league nights. Parking is available in the lot next to the facility. Please get there early as parking may be limited.
Check In
Check in will begin at 7:30am and each player must check in. There will be a brief captain’s meeting at 7:45am
The Facility
There will be space for players to stash your bags around the gym. Restrooms are available to change in but no locker rooms/showers will be available. No food is allowed on the gym floor. Please keep caps on water bottles at all times to avoid spills.
Rules
All applicable NAGVA rules will be observed for the purposes of this tournament. There must be a player from every division on the court at all times (i.e. both of your division 2 players can not be on the sidelines at the same time). Specific facility rules, if needed, will be detailed at the captain's meeting prior to the start of pool play. Jerseys are NOT required for this friendly tournament.
