RE: Nationally and regionally
ranked teams for postseason award nominations
Included with this letter is the exclusive
list of regionally and nationally 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 regionally ranked team is defined as any institution included
in any NCAA regional ranking during the 2002 ranking period; a nationally
ranked team is defined as any team ranked in the 2002 AVCA Division II
Coaches Top 25 Poll for any three weeks, excluding the preseason poll.
Please refer to the 2002 AVCA Division
II Awards Packet and the Postseason Nomination Form and Procedures when
you compile the statistics for your student-athletes. 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 for requirements 2) and 3) 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 2002 AVCA Awards Packet
you may obtain one from the forms and packets or awards sections of AVCA
Online (http://www.avca.org) in Word and PDF format.
Please remember that all postseason nomination
forms must be filled out completely and must reach the AVCA office no later
than noon Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2002. 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
19 noon deadline will be disqualified.
