League Rules & Info
Everything you need to know about how our leagues work.
The Tier System
- •Teams are grouped into tiers of 3 teams each
- •Each week, your tier plays round-robin: 3 unique matchups × 2 rounds = 6 games
- •1st place moves UP one tier. 2nd place stays. 3rd place drops DOWN one tier.
- •Tier 1: 3rd drops to T2, but 1st and 2nd stay (you're already at the top)
- •Bottom tier: 3rd stays (can't drop further)
- •Week 1 is placement — results seed your initial tier for Week 2
Match Format & Scoring
- •Sets played to 25 points (rally scoring), cap at 27
- •2 sets per match
- •Points per week: Tier Factor (Tier 1 = 8 pts, Tier 2 = 7, down to Tier 8 = 1) + Sets Won
- •Example: Tier 1 team wins 3 sets = 10 + 3 = 13 weekly points
- •Ranking within a tier: (1) Sets Won, (2) Point Differential, (3) Head-to-Head
- •Season standings: Cumulative weekly points across all weeks
