North vs South 2023 (Northern Series Version)

29 July - 30 July

Event Series Event Series (See All)

About The Event:

North vs. South is a new concept for 2023, and we can’t wait! It’s the battle of the titans, with the Southwest Series taking on the Northern Series to find out which region will come out trumps.

Format

You enter in squads of 4 players from your region: two men and two women. We have space for 10 squads per region. We will then rank the squads from each region based on their current Northern Series/Southwest Series ranking.

The 5 highest rank Northern Series squads will play a ‘duel’ against each of the top 5 Southwest Series Squads. The bottom 5 ranked Northern series squads will play a duel against each of the bottom 5 Southwest Series squads.

A duel works as follows: the men’s pair plays against the men’s pair. Then the women’s pair plays against the women’s pair. If a squad wins both games then they win a point for their region. If it is tied at one game apiece then we play a golden set of mixed volleyball, with the participants being randomly drawn by the referee. The squad that wins the golden set wins a point for the region.

The winning region will be the one with the most points at the end of the weekend! In the event of a tie, we will randomly draw a number. The squads of this rank will play a final duel to decide the winner.

Dates

The event will take place over the weekend of 29-30th July.
