 To Score a Point, To Win a Set and
the Match

Title
To Score a Point
A team scores a point by successfully grounding the ball on the
opponent’s court when the opposing team commits a fault, and
when the opposing team receives a penalty. A team commits a
fault by making a playing action contrary to the rules (or by
violating them in some other way).  If the serving team wins a
rally, it scores a point and continues to serve. If the receiving
team wins a rally, it scores a point and it must serve next.

To Win a Set
A set is won by the team that first scores 25 points with a
minimum lead of two points. In the case of a 24-24 tie, play is
continued until a two-point lead is achieved (26-24; 27-25; …)

Before the match, the 1st referee carries out a toss to decide upon
the first service and the sides of the court in the first set. If a
deciding set is to be played, a new toss will be carried out. The
toss is taken in the presence of the two team captains. The

Positional Fault
The team commits a positional fault, if any player is not in his/her
correct position at the moment the ball is hit by the server. This

Title
includes when a player is on the court through illegal substitution.
If the server commits a serving fault at the moment of the service
hit, the server’s fault is counted before a positional fault. If the
service becomes faulty after the service hit, it is the positional fault
that will be counted. A positional fault leads to the following
consequences:
• the team is sanctioned with a point and service to the opponent; 
• players’ positions must be rectified.

Rotational Fault
A rotational fault is committed when the SERVICE is not made
according to the rotational order. It leads to the following
consequences in order:
• he team is sanctioned with a point and service to the opponent;
• the players’ rotational order must be rectified.
