Divisions
Gold Division is a higher skilled/ranked division.
Silver Division is a lesser skilled/ranked division.
Check the division you prefer on the registration form. Ranking from last year’s league standings is helpful in determining which division your team will play in. Silver teams wining one of the top two places the previous year are required to join the Gold Division.
- Silver Division Games: A match is 3 games to 25, capping at 26 with rally scoring. If time is running out on the 3rd game, the game is to 15. All serves must be underhand unless BOTH TEAMS agree to overhand serving before the game.
- Gold Division Games: A match is 5 games to 25, capping at 26 with rally scoring. If time is running out the 4th & 5th game is to 15. The match of 5 games may need to be decreased to 3 games depending on how many teams sign up to play in the division. Serves may be overhand or underhand with no agreement between teams.
