2013 Champions
Bellarmine Prep Lions

Format and Schedule

The format for the Kent Classic allows lots of playing in a single day and tries to minimize the amount of time spent just sitting around. We start with two rounds of three team pools, followed by (mostly) five team brackets. All rounds of pool play will be two games only, no "if needed/time allows" third game.

Round One of Pool Play

  • Pre-seeded pools of three will play two games to 25 (NO CAP). Pools were drafted with area-coach input, last season’s tournament and season results and an attempt to separate in-league competitors.
  • The team not playing will be responsible for provide a down ref, scorekeeper, libero tracker and lines people for their court. (Please bring a whistle!)
  • The first place teams in each pool will play a second round of three-team pool play at Kentwood.
  • Of the 12 second place teams, the top three will play at Kentwood and the bottom nine will play at Kentlake.
  • Third place teams in each pool will play a second round of three-team pool play at Kentlake
  • Standings in pool play will be determined by games won. Ties will go head-to-head first and then point differential.
  • The method used to separate the second and third place teams: First games won, seeding status and in the event of a tie, total points scored.

Round Two of Pool Play

  • Kentwood and Kentlake will each have five pools of three and pool play will continue as it did in round one.
  • The school used for your Round Two pool play will also be used for your bracket play.
  • 1st place teams will compete in a five team bracket.
  • 2nd place teams will compete in a five team bracket.
  • 3rd place teams will compete in a five team bracket.
