Sierra Pacific Division Notes:

NOTE:  Games on Friday-Sunday, September 18-20, at California State Monterey-Bay will use five-minute quarters with neither overtime nor timeouts (September 3)

NOTE:  At the Sierra Pacific Division Championship hosted by the University of California-Santa Cruz, games on Saturday, October 24, will use six-minute quarters with normal overtime and teams limited to one timeout per half (September 3). 

NOTE: The University of California-Davis “B” withdraws from the 2026 season.  The regular season and championship schedules are revised with games at California State University-Monterey Bay on Saturday-Sunday, October 16-17, using five minute quarters with neither overtime nor timeouts.   Games on Saturday, October 24, at the Sierra Pacific Division Championship hosted by the University of California-Santa Cruz will use six-minute quarters with teams limited to one timeout per half (September 5).

NOTE: California Polytechnic Maritime Academy informed the league office of the program’s intent to not compete in 2026.  The schedule is revised for the remaining eight teams.  Games on Saturday, October 17, will use five-minute quarters with neither overtime nor timeouts.  The remainder of the schedule will utilize normal collegiate club timing and game play rules (September 9).

NOTE: The Sierra Pacific Division schedule changes following the decision of the University of California-Davis “B” and California Polytechnic Maritime Academy to not compete and the election of Stanford University to play in 2026.  Further, pool hours for the University of California-Santa Cruz on Friday-Sunday, October 16-18, are adjusted with the inclusion of Stanford University with all games during the weekend using six-minute quarters with sudden death overtime and teams limited to one timeout per half.  Further, the Sierra Pacific Division Championship on Saturday-Sunday, October 24-25, adjusts due to the inclusion of Stanford with games on Saturday, October 24, using six minute quarters with sudden death overtime and teams limited to one timeout per half. The schedule could change again depending on the University of California-Sana Cruz’s ability to acquire the weekend of Saturday-Sunday, November 7-8.   If UC-Santa Cruz can acquire the November 7-8 date, the Sierra Pacific Championship will move to that weekend with a second regular season weekend at UC-Santa Cruz occurring on October 24-25.  However, the November 7-8 weekend conflicts with the National Collegiate Club Championship.  If this were to occur:
* Step 1 – UC-Santa Cruz would need to decline their opportunity to go to Nationals if they qualify
* Step 2 – The weekend of October 24-25 would become a second regular season weekend
* Step 3 – The team qualifying to attend the national championship will be selected by their record during the regular season
* Step 4 – The weekend of November 7-8 would become the Sierra Pacific Division Championship at UC-Santa Cruz
In this case, the Sierra Pacific team qualifying to attend the National championship will be the regular season champion, separate from the division champion crowned during the weekend of November 7-8.  A determination regarding UC-Santa Cruz’s ability to acquire a second date is pending (October 13).

NOTE: The University of California-Santa Cruz acquired the October 24-25 for a second regular season tournament moving the Sierra Pacific Division Championship  to November 7-8.  Games on October 24-25 will use six-minute quarters with sudden death overtime and teams limited to one timeout per half.  Since the November 7-8 date conflicts with the National Collegiate Club Championship:

* Step 1 – UC-Santa Cruz declines being eligible to attend the National Collegiate Club Championship in favor of hosting the November 7-8 weekend
* Step 2 – The team qualifying to attend the national championship will be selected by regular season record and will not attend the November 7-8 weekend (creating an eight-team championship format).  The team advancing to Nationals is ineligible to win the SIerra Pacific Division Championship (October 19).
