Things to Consider:
- Our transportation service only runs between the airport and the convention center. There will not be stops made at individual hotels
- Clubs/teams looking to purchase a large number of tickets (more than 10) can do so through Brooke Paxton at brooke@triplecrownsports.com
- It is extremely difficult to get an Uber/Lyft at the airport, especially with inclement weather, so we highly recommend preordering our transportation service
- We schedule busses based on the number of preorders, so that is the only way to guarantee a seat

FORMAT
FORMAT
This is an elite (invite only) event. We are currently working through the format for 2023 and will post schematics and flow charts after tournament officials determine the flow for all age groups. We will only offer 12u - 18u divisions.
~ The NIT does not use the standard flow of other tournaments ~
Tournament Seeding: We will use 2022 US Club Rankings, PrepVolleyball.com's pre-season rankings, and any tournament finishes between January 1, 2022 through February 1, 2023. Club Directors will also provide their top 24 picks for their respective age group. After identifying the top 8 teams, who will be considered Number 1 seeds, they will be geographically cross-pooled to assure they play competition from outside of their region. The results of the first 3-4 matches for each team will determine seeding for the power pool or alternate pools for teams who do not qualify. After seeding matches on Saturday, tournament play will begin on Sunday.
