CJJSAA Volleyball Bylaws:

Matches: A and B matches will be played unless a team cannot field a B team.

Any player that plays in the A match should not play in the B match.  If a team does not have enough players to field a B team, the coaches must discuss this prior to starting the match and agree as to who can play in the B match. Generally, if a player has played in the A match for 10 points they should not be playing in the B match.

Net Height: 7’4”

Scoring: Rally scoring with the winner taking two out of three games. 

Games Scoring is first to 25 with a margin of two points. Play continues until a team wins by two after reaching 25. If it goes to a third game, first team to 25 for A games & 15 for B games with a margin of two points is the winner. 

Only A matches will count for league standings.

2 pts for the win.

1. Head-to-Head – The winner of the matchup between the two teams will earn the higher seed.

2. Win Percentage (Sets) – The team with the higher overall set win percentage (as recorded on the website) will be ranked higher.

3. Lowest PA (Sets) – The team that has conceded fewer sets (i.e., the lowest points against in sets) will be given the advantage.

4. Coin Toss – If the teams remain tied after the above criteria, a coin toss will determine the higher seed.

Three or More Teams Tied:

1. Head-to-Head Record Among Tied Teams – Evaluate the records solely in games played among the tied teams. The team with the best record receives the higher seed.

2. Win Percentage (Sets) Among Tied Teams – Of the teams still tied, the one with the highest set win percentage (as tracked on the website) will earn the advantage.
