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: Base 10 (Tier 1-4) or Base 9 (Tier 5-8) + number of sets won
  • •Example: Tier 1 team wins 3 sets = 10 + 3 = 13 weekly points
