§6PLAYOFFS & TIEBREAKERS

Volleyball. Twelve teams in two divisions, Atlantic and Pacific. Every match is best-of-3 — sets to 25, 25, and a third to 15. Eight teams make the playoffs, seeded 1–12 by overall record across both divisions. Seeds 1–6 go straight in. Seeds 7–10 play in for the last two spots — 7 v 10 and 8 v 9, one set to 25 — and the winners take seeds 7 and 8. Seeds 11 and 12 are done for the season.

Volleyball tiebreakers, in order: head-to-head result · set ratio (sets won ÷ sets lost) · point ratio (points for ÷ points against — every set counts, which is why the scorer records every set score).

Basketball. Top four make the playoffs. Tiebreakers, in order: head-to-head · point differential · points scored.

§7PHOTOS & MEDIA

[Draft — by registering, players are OK with game photos, video and their name appearing on league channels and this site.]
