 SCORING IN VOLLEYBALL

Scoring
 The serve starts play
 Objective is to keep the ball from touching one’s
own floor, without violating the rules
 Games 1 and 2 are side-out scoring, game 3 is rally
scoring
 Games are played to 15 points
 Must win by 2 points or the first team to score 17
in side-out scoring
 Must win by 2 points (no point cap) in rally
scoring
Side-out scoring
 A “side-out” is the termination of a teams right to serve
 Point is awarded only when serving team wins the rally
 Only the serving team may score a point, except in the deciding game
when rally-point scoring is used.
 When the receiving team wins a rally, it gains the right to serve (also
scoring a point in the deciding game), and its players rotate one
position clockwise.
 Rotation ensures that players play at both the net and the back zone of
the court.
 A team wins a game by scoring 15 points with a two-point advantage
and wins the match by winning the best of three or five games.
 In the event of a 16-16 tie, the team scoring the 17th point wins a non-
deciding game with only a one-point advantage.
 In a deciding game there is no point cap.
 Rally scoring .
 A point is awarded to whichever team wins the rally
 The team winning a rally scores a point (Rally Point System).
When the receiving team wins a rally, it gains a point and the
right to serve, and its players rotate one position clockwise.
 The best of three or best of five games will win matches. Each
non-deciding game will be won by the team that first scores 25
points with a minimum two-point advantage (no scoring cap).
 If there is a deciding game, it will be won by the team that first
scores 15 points with a minimum two-point advantage (no
scoring cap).

of servers for the entire game. A new line-up is
submitted for each game in a match, so positions
may be changed after each game. These rotational
positions are numbered on the court.
