Tournament Rules
The 2025 FitFest Volleyball Tournament has seven teams. The schedule will begin with round robin/pool play to start, then a single-elimination four team tournament to find the newest volleyball champs!
ROUND ROBIN/POOL PLAY
- First round of games will start promptly at 1:00pm
- 7 teams have been broken out into two different pools (Pool A “LEADERS” = 4 teams; Pool B “LEGENDS” = 3 teams)
- Leaders (Pool A) will be played on Court #1. Teams will play everyone in the pool one game to 25 points (win by 2; cap of 28)
- Legends (Pool B) will be played on Court #2. Teams will play everyone in the pool one game to 30 points (win by 2; cap of 35)
- Standard volleyball rules apply:
- Net will be coed height (7’8”)
- Rally scoring (point awarded on every serve depending on who wins the point)
- Balls that hit the line are in
- Players cannot touch the net
- Three touches to get the ball back over the net (excluding block touch)
- Net serves are okay (serves can hit the net and go over)
- We have estimated 20-25 minutes per match; however, please be prepared for matches to be shorter or longer so start times may be subject to change.
- Top two teams in each pool at the end of round robin play will move on to a 4-team single elimination tournament
- Ranking will be based in the following order:
- Wins/losses
- Head to head
- Point differential
- Ranking will be based in the following order:
- Tournament matches consist of one game to 25 points (win by 2; cap of 28)
- Round 1 tournament winners will move onto the championship match (losers may stay and play on Court 2 for 3rd place!)
TOURNAMENT
Be honest and have fun! We will not have any referees, so points are awarded on an honor system. May the best team win and have bragging rights for one year!
