LMR Volleyball

Format:

Round Robin

Match Format:

Matches are to be the best of three advantage sets, or 35 minutes duration whichever is first.  All sets are rally point. The first two sets will be played to 25 points with a maximum of 30 points, sudden death at 29 all.  The third set will be played to 15 points with a maximum of 17 points, sudden death at 16 all. If a set is unfinished at `time', the team leading that set by two or more points shall be the winner of that set, provided that the team has reached at least 8 points.  If one team wins the first two sets then the third set is not played.

Points are to be awarded for the Round-Robin matches to determine the winners of each pool on the following basis:      Win: 2 points      Draw: 1 point      Loss: 0 points

Should two teams finish the Round Robin competition with the same number of points, then the winner of the Round Robin match between these teams will assume the higher position.  If more than two teams are equal or if the result between the two teams was a draw then position will be determined on sets won and if these are equal then percentage will be used.

When doing these calculations involving a three way tie, the convener should only include the results of the 3 teams tied NOT the results from the games with the fourth team. Please note when doing calculations in a two way tie ALL teams’ results are to be used!

All team coaches are to present to the scorers, prior to the start of each game, the name and number of the players in the team and the starting positions of the players for each set.
