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, to be considered a regionally ranked team
an institution must have been listed in any NCAA regional ranking, excluding
the first (Oct. 9); a nationally ranked team is defined as any team ranked
in the 2002 AVCA Division I Coaches Top 25 Poll for any three weeks, excluding
the preseason poll.
Please refer to the
2002 AVCA Division I 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
formats.
Please remember that
all postseason nomination forms must be filled out completely and must
reach the AVCA office no later than noon Tuesday, Dec. 3, 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 December 3 noon deadline will be disqualified.
