2004 GSA Volleyball

Hello, this is the official home page for 2004 GSA Volleyball. If you are looking for the 2003 GSA Volleyball page, here it is.

Basics

• This is the same league as is listed the Volleyball (Faculty/Grad) for the IM department. If you signed up there, please check the enrolled teams link below (after Friday, January 23, 2003) and let me know if there are any problems. You should read this web page for all the information.
• The season runs from January 25 till April 25.
• Games are every Sunday between 6pm and 10pm (last game starts at 9pm).
• All games are in the main gym in the old gym on Tech St (near Posner Hall/GSIA) (it's #8 on this map)
• We play 6 on 6, but if on any particular week you are allowed to play with as few as 4.
• All faculty, staff, and graduate students are invited to play. Others (such as friends and signifigant others) may be allowed to play,with the approval of the tournament director . Undergraduates, however, are not allowed to play (this is a constraint imposed by our funding arrangement with GSA). Contact Pat Riley if you have questions about this.
• The purpose of GSA Volleyball is to provide an environment where teams can have fun and play to their level. While we would like people to play to the best of their abilities, we would also want to foster an environment of fun and good sportsmanship; in essence, a kinder, gentler volleyball league. We play because volleyball is fun!

Old Information

• Free Play Day!
• On January 18, we will have free play time in the main gym from 6:30 till 9:00. Everyone is invited to come down and just have some fun!
• This is a great opportunity to try and find players for a team if you need them...
• If you are planning on showing up, please drop me an email at pfr+gsavball@cs.cmu.edu. I'd like to know how many courts to set up.
• The sign up deadline is January 22, 2004. Entry form and directions for the entry form.
• The first games will be Sunday, January 25, 2004. I'll send out the schedule Friday morning. In future weeks, I will get the schedule out earlier, but I won't even have the teams until then!
• The sign up deadline has passed. However, if you would still like to play, we might be able to arrange that. Please contact me at pfr+gsavball@cs.cmu.edu.
• We will not be playing on Sunday, February 1 so that everyone can go watch the superbowl and its commercials..
• Games on 3/14 were cancelled because of electrical problems in the gym. The schedule for 3/21 is up now with some slight changes from the 3/14 schedule.
• I am currently planning on running the final tournament on April 18 and April 25. The final tournament is a single elimination inside each division (with the winners getting fabulous IM T-shirts). April 18 will be the full A tournament, the beginning of B, and most of C. April 25 will be the rest of B and the final game of C. Expect that you will have multiple games (if you win). If your team is going to have any scheduling problems, please either make them go away or let me know right now. The schedule is tight, so I can't promise anything.
• The final tournament information is now available, including the seedings. Please read it carefully and make sure that you understand the schedule!
  
• I am looking for someone to help me run this league (and take over completely for next year). If you think you may be interested, please contact me.
• If you have any questions, please contact me at pfr+gsavb@cs.cmu.edu.
