The above pairings will be used so long as they do not result in two teams playing each other for a second time. In this case, adjustments will be made within each playoff bracket so that all teams play a ‘new’ opponent in their first playoff match.
OSSEO HIGH SCHOOL RULES:
1.
NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINK IS ALLOWED IN OSSEO HIGH SCHOOL. Players may bring in water in a non-breakable bottle only.
Anyone found with outside food will be asked to return the food to his or her vehicles. Individuals unwilling to do so will be asked to
leave – either the food leaves or the individual leaves. Concessions are available within the facility.
2. There is an admissions fee at the door - $5/adult, $2/child, and children 5 & under are free.
3. No food, gum or drink other than water is allowed on the court surface, at team benches, or at the scorers’ tables.
4. Spectators – please stay off the courts. No shoes worn outside should be used on the court surface.
5. All players should ‘nest’ in the hallway at the lunch tables. There will be one lunch table per team.

COMPETITION RULES:
1. In all matches, sets 1 & 2 are to 25 points, no cap; set 3, if needed, is to 15 points, again no cap. Teams will change sides in the
third set once one team has reached 8 points.
2. Warm up time between all matches is ten minutes – two minutes shared, then four minutes for each team and should begin
immediately after the last match. The team officiating the previous match is responsible for starting the clock immediately after the
last point. The first two minutes is shared – both teams warm-up on their side of the court. If the coin toss has been completed
when eight minutes remain, the team serving first will be given the first four minutes. Otherwise, the team listed first on the
schedule will be given the first four minutes on the court and the team listed second on the schedule will be given the last four
minutes on the court.
TEAMS SHOULD BOTH HIT AND SERVE DURING THEIR FOUR MINUTES ON THE COURT. Time between games
is 3 minutes. Timeouts are 30 seconds.
4. Tie-breaker procedures: In two-way ties in match record, the team that won the pool play match between the tied teams will be
awarded the higher position. In three-way ties, ties will be broken by the successive application, without repetition, of: 1. game
percentage (games won/total games played), 2. point percentage (points scored/points opponent scored), 3. coin flip.
