Zone Tie Breaking Procedures
If teams are tied in a section, the Volleyball Canada tie break procedure is used as outlined below. This system is used to rank teams in a section, but is not used to eliminate a team. If teams are tied for the last playoff spot, the lowest ranked team will play one game to 25 points (no cap -win by two points) against the next lowest ranked team. If the winner of this game is still tied with another team for the last playoff berth, these two teams will play one game to 25 points (no cap - win by two points) and so on, until the winning team is no longer tied for the last berth.
If two or more teams are tied at the end of the preliminary round, the following criteria will be applied, in order:
a) The team having the best ratio of won/lost matches, considering only matches played between the tied teams, will be ranked higher;
b) The team having the best ratio of won/lost games, considering only matches played between the tied teams, will be ranked higher;
c) The team having the best ratio of won/lost games, considering all matches of the round, will be ranked higher;
d) The team having the best ratio of points for/against, considering only games played between the tied teams, will be ranked higher;
e) The team having the best ratio of points for/against, considering all games played during the round, will be ranked higher;
f) Any game needed to break ties will be a single game, rally point scoring to 25 points with a two point difference to determine placing.
