International Participation in Volleyball
As at 5 May 2007, Volleyball will have the following international teams competing:
Macau, Indonesia, PNG, New Caledonia and Timor.
* These teams are being finalised. Please note changes may occur
Event Details
Previous gold medallists in the sport of Volleyball at the Arafura Games have included Macau, Malaysia, Australian Defence Force and Northern Territory, many of these teams are expected to return in 2007 and there has already been two new expressions of interest from an Indonesian Men's team as well as the New Zealand Defence Men's and Women's teams.
Separate men's and women's competitions will again be offered. One entry per competition per region can be accepted. Entries must be endorsed by the relevant State or National Volleyball Association.
Tournament format will be determined based on the number of entries received. Due to the popularity of this event it is recommended that teams intending to enter do so early.
Each team is required to supply a referee preferably of a national level. As there are many games played throughout the week it is necessary that teams are able to provide some level assitance with officiating requirements.
The competition should also be seen as an opportunity to develop officials from your regions. Any team having difficulty meeting this requirement should contact the organisers as early as possible.
Event Location
Indoor Volleyball competition will be played in an airconditioned stadium of an international standard.
Event Rules
The tournament will be played in accordance with FIVB Rules www.fivb.org/TheGame/Rules.htm in force at the time of the event, except where modified by the event organisers.
