Schools with less than a.500 record may be considered only if a written petition is submitted to their league representative by Tuesday October 27, Selection into the tournament will be primarily based on league record. We will also consider the strength of your league, non - league record and tournament play.

If a host school does not charge admission, make out their financial report and follow the Section 2 outline for who is to be paid, they will not be considered for a site next year.

10 Clarifications to Rules: Girls Volleyball These rules have been in effect since Eligible player: A player cannot compete in two different levels of competition in one day. If a player suits up for a game they are considered competing. For example: A JV player cannot compete in the JV match and then play in the Varsity match on the same day. 2. Tri matches: Tri-matches are legal. You can play two teams in one day. This is not a tournament but you need to count both matches. 3. Contest between games. Though the NCAA handbook allows contests between games, in Section II, you need to have prior approval of both coaches in order to have this contest. 4. Tournaments: You may have 15 games played during a day. One day tournament counts as one day of play. If there is a semi-final and final, they can only be 2 out 3 matches, not three out of five. Matches on days of pool play are counted as total games. These 2 out of 3 matches do not count on your overall record. For example: 15 games a day.. A pool of 4 teams playing 2 games each would equal 6 games. If that day the semi is 2 out of 3 and the final is 2 out 3 and both go the full 3 games you have played 12 games. No one can exceed 15 games per day. These are to be recorded under pool play in tournament sheet. Two day tournaments count as two days played. 5. (2007) Teams may no longer run around the court for their warm up. They may run on their side but not cross in front or behind the other team s bench. 6. (2008) Warm up procedure for all scrimmages, league games and sectionals through state tournament play: the visiting team will have the first 6 minutes of individual warm ups regardless of the coin toss. There will still be shared 12 minute warm up. There will also still be a coin toss that would determine who has first serve. 7. (2009) All time outs will be 60 seconds. 8. (Continued through the 2010 season) Point of emphasis: taping of jewelry. If it is suspected that jewelry is underneath tape in an unusual area, (ear, nose, etc.) the official will ask the coach to tell the player to remove it. If the player doesn t remove it or the coach does not feel comfortable doing it the official will tell the player to remove it. 9. New 2012: a) There is a waiver for the Libero uniform from the rules in the NCAA handbook. If your uniform was legal this year it is legal for the next two years, i.e. it doesn t have to be a completely solid color. b) Sportsmanship for coaches. There will be a waiver from the NCAA rules. The sportsmanship card read at the beginning of the match is considered the warning. If a coach is acting unsportsmanlike they will be given a red card. It is always up to the official s discretion if they want to give a verbal warning to the coach prior to the card. page 8

11 New York State Modifications to the NCAA Rules Rule 1: Facilities and Equipment Attack line extensions are not required to play a match. The referee stand and platform may or may not be distributed evenly behind the pole. The ladder may or may not be distributed evenly at the back of the referee platform. Rule 2: The Net and Related Equipment The net height for all NYSPHSAA interscholastic men s competition will be 7 feet 11 5/8 inches The net height for both men s and women s competition must measure correctly at the center. The two ends of the net must measure the same and should not be more than ¾ inch higher than the center of the net. Rule 5: Teams If a coach is not available, the playing captain may NOT assume the duties and responsibilities of a coach. Rule 6: Individual and Team Sanctions Check local section policy for sanction guidelines. If no such policy exists, the NCAA rule is in effect. (Exception: delay sanction for illegal player equipment/jewelry see Rule 7) A coach may NOT receive an individual yellow card for minor unsporting conduct. Coaches are only to receive red card sanctions for any misconduct minor or rude. Many officials are unsure when to sanction a coach, athlete or other match participant. One recommendation is if the person is distracting the attention of an official away from match duties, it is time for a sanction. When the first referee assesses an individual sanction, it must be accompanied by a whistle. A NYSVCOA official will not remove an expelled or disqualified team member from the playing surface or spectator areas. Sanctions will be assessed to the head coach for any further disruptions caused by an expelled or disqualified player.

12 Rule 7: Players Equipment An individual may have a different number when changing from a team uniform shirt to a Libero shirt. A Libero shirt may not be passed among teammates. The style and trim of the libero s jersey/ shirt and/or shorts may differ from his/her teammates. Duplicate numbers are not permitted. It is not required that either the libero or his/her teammates wear a solid color jersey. It is not required that Piping/trim measure a certain width or be along a functioning seam. There are no specifications regarding school mascot or school reference. Uniform numbers must be visible and distinguishable. Jewelry is not permitted at any time including the warm-up period. This includes non-visible jewelry (i.e. body jewelry, ear gauges, tongue studs). Hair ties worn on the wrist and string bracelets are considered jewelry. Taping jewelry is not permitted at any time. A player wearing visible jewelry should be asked politely to remove it. Prompt removal of jewelry is required. A player with taped (alleged) jewelry should be questioned in the presence of the head coach. A player on the court with jewelry will result in a team delay sanction. Prompt removal of jewelry is required. The only type barrette that is legal is a flexible barrette. Feathers or extensions worn in the hair must be legally secured. Hard plastic headbands are illegal. Spacers/gauges worn in the ear or lobes are illegal. When a question arises regarding the legality of head gear or players equipment beyond the scope of the rules book, check with NYSCVOA rules interpreter for a clarification. Illegal uniform issues will be handled following the steps below. The Libero uniform is exempt from this modification. Notify the coach of the team at fault to determine whether the uniform can be brought into compliance. The team will legalize the uniform of the team member. If the uniform cannot be legalized, discuss with the opposing coach to determine whether a protest will be filed. If no protest is filed at the time of the discussion, no future protest will be accepted in regards to uniform compliance. If the coach wishes to protest, record the events per the rule book. Play the match and notify the proper channels regarding the protest. Check local board policy.

13 Rule 8: Scoring and Duration of Matches All sets of the match are 25 point sets. A team must win by two and no cap is in effect for any set. Rule 9: Protocols The pre-match protocol will start with the team representatives meeting for ground rules and coin toss. The clock for the warm-up period will not begin until the team representatives are released. Check local board policy for the total time to be set on the clock. Shared court time is first. The visiting team will have the first 6 minutes of exclusive court use and the home team will have their 6 minutes. The clock should run continuously stopping only for injury, safety issues, or equipment failure. The team that does not have exclusive use of the court will be allowed to warm-up as long as they remain 2 meters away from the court boundaries and they do not interfere with the team that has exclusive use of the court. Teams will switch sides when one team reaches 13 points in the deciding set. 2015: Libero waiver was approved until 2018 Uniform waiver has been approved until If ordering new uniforms please follow the 2016 NCAA guidelines. There is a new modified rotation rule: section 2 voted not to use this rule.
