Each week, teams are grouped into tiers of 3 and play a round-robin within their tier. After results are tallied, 1st place moves up a tier, 2nd stays, and 3rd drops down. Every week brings new opponents and a fresh challenge.

Sets are played to 25 points (cap at 27). Your weekly points are calculated as Tier Factor + Sets Won. Higher tiers earn more base points — Tier 1 gets 8, Tier 2 gets 7, all the way down to Tier 8 which gets 1. Winning sets and climbing tiers is the path to the top.

Each season runs 11 weeks. Week 1 is placement — your team is seeded into an initial tier. Weeks 2 through 10 are the regular season with weekly tier movement based on results. Week 11 is playoffs — championship brackets by division.

Your cumulative season points determine your playoff division. Five divisions — Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze — each play a single-elimination bracket on playoff night. Every team competes.
