2001 AVCA Division II AVCA National and Regional Ranked Teams List

TO: AVCA Division II Member Head Coaches
FR: Jenifer Scheibler, AVCA assistant director of communications
RE:  Nationally and regionally ranked teams for post-season award nominations

Included with this letter is the exclusive list of regional and national ranked teams to be used for the compilation of statistics for your nominees for AVCA All-Region and All-America awards.

For AVCA All-Region and All-America Awards purposes, a regional-ranked team is defined as any institution included in any regional ranking during the 2001 ranking period. A nationally ranked team is defined as any team ranked in the 2001 AVCA Division II Coaches Top 25 Poll for any three weeks, excluding the preseason poll.

Please refer to the 2001 AVCA Division II Awards Packet and the Postseason Nomination Form and Procedures when you compile the statistics for your players.  When you complete the "Individual Season Totals" for your players (bottom of page 9 in the awards packet), you should only use the teams that are listed on the following page (except for item 1 listed below).  You must submit each player’s statistics against:

1) All teams on your schedule;
2) regionally ranked teams only (from all regions, not just your own); and,
3) nationally ranked teams only.

**Use only the teams listed on the following page when calculating statistics against regionally and nationally ranked teams; do not add teams as new polls and/or rankings are released.

If you do not have a 2001 AVCA Awards Packet you may obtain one from the forms and packets section of AVCA Online (http://www.avca.org) in PDF format.

Please remember that all post-season nomination forms must be filled out completely and must reach the AVCA office no later than noon Tuesday, November 13, 2001.  It is strongly recommended that material be sent via overnight mail service (morning delivery) to the AVCA office in order to allow your package to be tracked. No faxed or late entries will be accepted; AVCA staff will not pick up nomination materials from the airport or any other location. Those packages not meeting the November 13, noon deadline will be disqualified.
 **Use only the teams listed on the following page when calculating statistics against regionally and nationally ranked teams; do not add teams as new polls and/or rankings are released.
