What is the CAPITOL HILL CLASSIC VOLLEYBALL Tournament?
Competition for those teams that want to be part of a big, qualifier-like event. There will be no bids awarded to winners of these tournament divisions. The registration and payment system, check-in system, results reporting system and awards are all the same as for a national qualifier; the format may be adjusted according to the number of teams entered.

Any team that wants to participate and is registered with the USAV Chesapeake Volleyball Region.
