How does it Work?
The Exciting Point-System
At the heart of AAU Hawaii volleyball season is a very exciting point system that gives your team a lot of opportunities and challenges them to excellence. Each qualifying event will earn you points towards the AAU Hawaii Ranking. At the end of the season, the top 8 teams in each division will be invited to participate in the Hawaii Club Volleyball Championship event, the most prestigious youth sporting event in the state, where the Final championship match will be played at the Center Court, inside of Windward Mall in Kaneohe.
The number of points earned in each qualifying event will be determined based on your finish in your division at that event and the number of participating teams in your division. The points will then be multiplied by the tournament’s multiplier. For example, the TransPacific Volleyball Championships is a 3X Points event, with 60 teams in your division, first place in the division will get 60 points, and last place in the division will earn 1 point (2nd place is 59, 3rd is 58, etc). Those points will then be multiplied by the tournament multiplier (3X), so first place will end up with 180 points (60×3=180), and last place will get 3 points. For the season, you would tally up all the points you earned. It’s up to each team to decide which event, and how many, they want to participate in.
Here’s an example scenario for team participation and how many points they might collect during the season:
| Event | Multiplier | Total # of teams in your division | Place Finished | Points Earned (within the division) =TEAMS-FINISH+1 | Total Points =POINTS*MULTIPLIER |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TransPacific Volleyball Championships | 3x | 60 | 5 of 60 | 56 pts (i.e. 1st=60, 2nd=59, 3rd=58, 4th=57, 5th=56 … 60th=1) | 168 pts (i.e. 56pts x 3X multiplier = 168 pts) |
| SPAM® Slam | 2x | 24 | 2 of 24 | 23 pts (i.e. 1st=24, 2nd=23, 3rd=22, 4th=21, 5th=20 … 24th=1) | 46 pts (i.e. 23pts x 2X multiplier = 46 pts) |
| Shave Ice Cup | 2x | 24 | 1 of 24 | 24 pts (i.e. 1st=24, 2nd=23, 3rd=22, 4th=21, 5th=20 … 24th=1) | 48 pts (i.e. 23pts x 2X multiplier = 46 pts) |
| Oceanic Open Championship | 3x | 36 | 10 of 36 | 27 pts (i.e. 1st=36, 2nd=35, 3rd=34, 4th=32, 5th=31, … 10th=27, … 36th=1) | 81 pts (i.e. 27pts x 3X multiplier = 81 pts) |
| District/State Tournament at 808 Hale | 1x | 12 | 1 of 12 | 12 pts | 12 pts |
| District/State Tournament at CJAC | 1x | 10 | 2 of 10 | 9 pts | 9 pts |
| Total | 364 pts |
At the end of the season, the Top 8 Teams with the highest number of points in each division will be invited to participate in the Hawaii Club Volleyball Championship to crown the BEST club team in Hawaii.
