AVCA Division III National and Regional Ranked Teams List

TO: AVCA Division III Member Head Coaches
FR: Jenifer Scheibler, AVCA director of events & awards
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 Team selections.

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 2003 ranking period; a nationally ranked team is defined as any team ranked in the 2003 AVCA Division III Coaches Top 25 Poll for any three weeks, excluding the preseason poll.

When you complete the statistics section (page 2) of the on-line nomination process you should only use the teams that are listed on the following page for requirements No. 2 and No. 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 2003 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 nominations must be submitted on-line and match-by-match statistical reports via fax or e-mail by 10 p.m. EST, Monday, Nov. 10.
