Off the Block selected the top seniors in college men’s volleyball and seeded them into a bracket, and it is up to the fans to determine who should win the 2020 Top of the Class Tournament.
The Top of the Class Tournament is a bracket-style, five-round event pairing the best seniors from NCAA Division I-II men’s volleyball teams against each other. The senior in each match-up who had the best college career as decided by the fans will advance to the next round.
The tournament continues today with the regional semifinals. Online voting for these first-round matches will end at 10 p.m. (CST) Friday.
Off the Block was established in 2011 and is the nation’s leaders in college men’s volleyball coverage.

Thank you for caring of the hard working seniors!!
Hi!
The site with no longer let me vote each hour. Every time I try to vote it says that I’ve already been counted! What do I do??
We’ll investigate
Did you find any thing out about why that would be happening. Having the same problem occasionally.
No, I haven’t heard anything about it yet.
Can you try one of three things — restarting your computer, clearing your web history or close out of your internet browser and re-opening it
I’m also being kept from voting again after 60 minutes. This just started recently.
See above
The suggested solutions aren’t working for me.
Thanks for letting me know. We use a third party app for these polls and to restrict voting per computer IP to once per hour. Unfortunately, my hands are a little tied but I’ll reach out to the app to see what we can do.
