For the first time, the Event Center on the campus of San Jose State University will serve as the site of the 2001 WAC Volleyball Tournament. The tournament will be held from Nov. 15-18 and will involve all 10 teams. A point system will be utilized when seeding for the tournament and will work as follows:
1. Each team receives one point for a win within in its own division and two points for a win against teams in the other division.
2. If a tie remains, the tie-breaker shall be based on head-to-head competition.
3. If the two teams split during the regular season, the tie-breaker will be based on games won versus games lost using only the two matches in which they competed against each other.
4. If a tie still exists, then their conference records will be compared using the basis of games won versus games lost in all WAC matches.
5. If a tie remains, then a draw will determine the order of seedings.
