Season standing procedure

The 2019-20 V.League Season brings new rules for how teams will be ranked for the Regular Round.[19]

Previously teams were ranked by:

  • Points ->Wins ->Set Percentage ->Scoring Rate

Beginning with the 2019-20 season teams will be ranked in the Regular Round by:

  • Wins ->Points ->Set Percentage ->Scoring Rate
  1. Teams will be ranked by the number of victories achieved throughout the Regular Round:
  2. In the event of a tie, the following first tiebreaker will apply: Total number of points gained per match as follows:
    • Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 points for the winner, 0 points for the loser
    • Match won 3–2: 2 points for the winner, 1 point for the loser
    • Match forfeited: 3 points for the winner, 0 points (0–25, 0–25, 0–25) for the loser
  3. If teams are still tied after examining points gained and the number of victories, then the results to break the tie will be examined in the following order:
    • Set quotient: if two or more teams are tied on total number of victories, they will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of the number of all set won by the number of all sets lost.
    • Points quotient: if the tie persists based on the set quotient, the teams will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of all points scored by the total of points lost during all sets.
    • If the tie persists based on the point quotient, the tie will be broken based on the team that won the match of the Round Robin Phase between the tied teams. When the tie in point quotient is between three or more teams, these teams ranked taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.
