MOUNT VERNON, IOWA . . . The 2002
Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) Volleyball Tournament
takes place this weekend, November 8-9, at Buena Vista University
in Storm Lake, Iowa. Action begins Friday at 4:30 pm and Saturday
at 9:00 am. Central College enters the Tournament as the top seed
and is the six-time defending Conference Champion.
Regular season Conference play and the Conference
Tournament each count 50 percent towards determining the IIAC champion.
Teams are awarded points based on their finish during the regular
season and tournament, earning 10 points for a first place finish,
nine points for second place and so on down to one point for a tenth
place finish. Should two or more teams finish with identical regular
season records, points will be split and the team with the better
head-to-head record against tied teams will earn the higher Tournament
seed. If teams are tied following the Conference Tournament, the
team with the higher finish at the Tournament will earn the IIAC’s
automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
The seedings for the IIAC Tournament and the point
total of each school for its regular season finish are:
