2020 Age Division Pools will be released the Monday prior to the age's competition weekend.  Schedules will be noted with date of release - so Please check here often, as Saturday schedules may change due to last minute drops.  Brackets and Sunday First Assignments are not posted early for this reason.

The 11-14s will compete Saturdays in Cape Girardeau at the Cape Girardeau Sportsplex - 2526 Jim Drury Way - Cape Girardeau, MO 63701.  Depending on the number of teams, there is the possibility that Sunday Bracket Play may utilize additional area HS and Collegiate Facilities within 8 Miles from Cape Girardeau Sportsplex

The event weekend in St. Louis will see the 15-18s age divisions spread across the metro area, as in years past.  These sites will been announce above for 2020 once we have a clearer picture of field sizes.

When Schedules are released, click on Age Group Tab above to download Current Saturday Pool Play Schedules, Sunday First Assignments, and Sunday Brackets for your specific divisions.  Updates are noted by additional dates.

As far as Match Play format, All matches (Pool and Bracket) are best of three sets to 25 points, win by 2, no cap - with a 3rd and deciding set (if necessary) to 15, win by 2, no cap.  The only exception is the 11's age division - they will play 19-19-15 for all their matches.

Teams are ranked in pool play based on match %, then set %, then point %.  There are no Tie-breaking sets in this tournament, since all teams advance to 2-match-minimum bracket play on Sunday.

Weeks 1 and 2 Pool Plays of Girls Regionals 12s & 14s And 11s & 13s will take place at Cape Girardeau Sportsplex - 2526 Jim Drury Way - Cape Girardeau, MO 63701.  If additional courts are necessary, they will be played at nearby facilities (SEMO Rec Center, Houck Field House, Cape Notre Dame HS, Jackson HS, or Jackson Jr High)
