MAPL ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
MAPL YORK is NOT an open entry tournament where team acceptance is done on a first-come, first-served basis. Instead, acceptance criteria is based on team performance relative to strength of field and rests strongly on performance history and strength of a teams' competition schedule.
The majority of the tournament field (80-90%) will be accepted prior to the Christmas holiday to allow teams to plan travel, etc. The final acceptances and complete tournament field will be set after MLK, Jr. weekend events have been concluded. Teams wishing to be considered for first round acceptances must have registered, completed the pre-participation survey and submitted payment by December 15th, 2023.
MAPL COMPETITIVE DIVISIONS
MAPL events have three (3) mixed age-level divisions* to allow for excellent inter-regional competition.
-
BLACK division: 16*-18 Girls
-
BLUE division: 14-16 Girls
-
RED division: 13-14 Girls
DIVISION PLACEMENT: It is typical that less than ten 16s teams play in the BLACK division and less than ten 14s teams play in the BLUE division. Initial acceptances for all 14s teams will be in the RED division and all 16s teams will be in the BLUE division regardless of which division the team initially registered for. Once the field is set the MAPL Competition Committee will review team performance to date to determine which 14s teams will play in the BLUE division and which 16s teams will play in the BLACK division.
*Age divisions refer to USA Volleyball age designations.
**Only select 16s and 14s teams [usually 8-10 total per division] will be placed in the Black division and Blue division respectively. Placement in the 'higher' division is based on team performance as assessed by the MAPL Competition Committee. Teams are encouraged to register for the division of preference based on the age levels above but read below to see how we handle acceptance, division placement, and seeding.
