Match Format:

Matches will be the best of three rally-point sets. 

Year 7 & 8 - The first two sets are played to 25 (Capped at 25).

Inters & Senior - The first two sets are played to 20 with a 2 point advantage.

If one team wins the first two sets then the third set will not be played.

The third ('deciding') set (if played) is played to 15 with a two point advantage.

Each team is entitled to two time-outs per set.

Coaches are required to advise the scorer of their team's starting line-up prior to the start of each set.  A maximum of 12 substitutions may be made in any set.

Teams may nominate a libero prior to the start of each set.  Teams using a libero may still use 12 substitutions.

Warm ups will be restricted to 5 minutes.

The Champion Team will be decided on matches won.  If matches won are equal, then set percentages will be compared.  If still equal, then points percentages will be compared.
