We have been working with the tournament directors of the Transpacific Championships to coordinate our Power League Qualifier playdates in order to allow for both events to run without conflict. This is to support the growth of our game here in Hawaii and to allow for greater participation and development of these scholar-athletes in our region. Mahalo to Ed and Sivan for our continued discussions in ways to promote and support our large and talented volleyball community in our islands. With this change, our qualifying tournament has moved to 2 days of participation on Sunday 1/6/19 and Sunday 1/13/19. 

With this change, we wanted to also modify our fee in order to better support the 2 days of play all teams would be getting. The fee for our qualifying tournament has been lowered to $300 per participating team. We are requesting that a new check for $300 per team be brought to the gym on 1/6/19 and submitted to the Power League Staff upon check-in. There can be one check submitted per club. The original checks will be shredded. Mahalo for your understanding and patience with this matter.

Please contact Chris Blake at aloharegionpowerleague@gmail.com with questions.
