Promotion/Relegation will be 1 up and 1 down.
A precise record of all Yellow and Red card offences should be kept by the Tournament Director. The Tournament Director is responsible for keeping totals throughout the Championships. Any player sent off or ejected in a Championship game is ineligible to play in the following game (i.e. the player is ‘banned’ for one (1) game following the sending off). Two (2) Yellow cards in separate games do not result in suspension from the next game (i.e. the cards do not become Red).
Tie-breaking Procedure in Flight Play
In the event of two (2) or more teams having the same win-loss record at the conclusion of Flight play, the tie will be resolved according to the following:
If more than two (2) teams are tied then:
1) The win-loss match record of the tied teams only in matches involving the tied teams
2) Net sets won only in matches involving the tied teams
3) Net points won only in matches involving the tied teams
4) Net sets scored (sets won minus sets lost) in all matches
5) Net points scored (points scored minus points lost) in all matches
When at any point in the tie-breaking procedure a three-way tie becomes a two-way tie, the head-to-head result between the tied teams will determine their placing in the standings.
Warm-up Time
The pre-game warm-up is a guaranteed 15 minutes. If the previous match ended early, the next match will start as scheduled. If the previous match ended late, the 15-minute warm-up is guaranteed. The warm-up is divided as: 7 minutes on floor, and then 3 minutes for *team 1 using the whole court, 3 minutes for *team 2 using the whole court, and 2 minutes serving. The toss for the match will take place 15 minutes prior to the start of the game (i.e. immediately before warm-up). The host school shall provide a minimum of six (6) balls for the warm-up period.
*Team 1 and Team 2 are determined by the toss before warm up, and team that wins that toss can decide which whole court warm up slot they want.
