New volleyball state tourney format approved
The Executive Committee of the IHSAA unanimously approved a format change to future volleyball state tournaments.
By a 17‐0 vote and beginning next season (2017), the tournament will grow to a four‐week format by starting the sectional a week earlier than in previous years and eliminating the mid‐week regional.
The sectional tournaments will continue as a Tuesday‐Thursday‐Saturday format and will be set for Oct. 10, 12 and 14, 2017. The winner of each sectional will now advance to a four‐team regional the following Saturday (Oct. 21, 2017) and three days earlier than the Tuesday night format used in recent years.
The semistate tournaments on Oct. 28, 2017 will become a one‐match affair for each team using a doubleheader setup, with the winner of each match advancing to its respective state championship on Nov. 4, 2017.
