4 August 2017 COACHES and ATHLETIC DIRECTORS Welcome to the 2017 volleyball season. As you embark on this season, I wish you and your athletes the best. Your enthusiasm, energy and knowledge will be passed on to your eager athletes. I look forward to a great year of volleyball. There are several CHSAA bylaws that I want to highlight: 1. NEW: 2860 (Game Contracts): Member schools must honor game contracts entered into in good faith PENALTY: Schools which violate this regulation will immediately be placed on probation and a $500 reimbursement must be paid to the offended school within 45 days. Subsequent violations will have additional consequences (Refer to the bylaws) (Club Coach Rule): A student transferring, moving or for any reason to a new school where the student s non-school coach is also a coach of the school team, is considered to be attending for athletic purposes. The student, as a result of this transfer, will be ineligible for varsity competition for one calendar year from the date of the transfer in any sport(s) they participated in during the twelve months prior to the transfer. As used in this Rule, the term coach includes any person who coaches, volunteers (regardless of compensation) or assists in any capacity with the coaching or training of the school or non-school team (Athletic Transfer): Any transfer substantially motivated by athletic considerations will cause the student to be ineligible for one varsity competition for one calendar year from the date of the transfer in any sport(s) they participated in during the twelve months prior to the transfer. **If a student transfers to a school where his/her previous coach is a coach of the current school team, that move will be deemed motivated by athletic consideration. Under provision of this rule, the coach may be a former school coach or non-school coach ( d) (8 th Grade Contact): A person, acting in the capacity of the high school coach or serving in a role representing the high school, may have informational meetings anytime with 8 th grade students who live in that high school s attendance area as established by the school district, or with those 8 th grade students that have pre-registered to attend that high school; the coach may conduct practice with those eighth graders starting May 1. This contact may include currently registered underclassman. The Sunday Contact Rule applies to this contact (Coach Ejection): A coach ejected from a game is required to complete the following courses offered online by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS): Sportsmanship and Teaching and Modeling Behavior. These courses shall be completed before he/she will be removed from probation and must be finished in a reasonable amount of time during the season, to be determined by the school s athletic director (Sunday Contact): A coach may have contact with his or her team on Sunday for a social, academic or service related activity that is strictly voluntary. The contact must be a voluntary, noncompetitive/non-participatory activity. CONTACT YOUR AD FOR CLARIFICATION. If you have any questions with these bylaws, please contact your athletic director. Please keep in mind that you are our best public relations directors. Your role as coach and leader are respected not only by your peers, but by your students and community members as well. Our collective goal is to educate through activities; when the experiences for our youth are enjoyable and valuable, it enhances the overall educational process; and we can influence the public in a very positive way. I know your upcoming season will pass quickly and that your efforts and accomplishments will be memorable to those involved. Good luck and have an enjoyable season! Sincerely, Bethany Brookens Assistant Commissioner 1

10 Before the competitive interscholastic season begins, check to make sure you have not scheduled contests in excess of the set/contest limit for your sport (see CHSAASport Bylaws). NEW: If you have to break a contract, your school will be responsible for a reimbursement fee to the offended school ($500-$1,000), and will be placed on probation or restriction. It is strongly recommended that coaches be clear on the number of matches their team will play in a given tournament. This information must be included in the tournament contract. *Member schools that are in a classification that do not have a district tournament (3A-5A) shall not participate in more than 23 matches, exclusive of regional and state contests during a season. *Member schools that are in a classification that have a district tournament (1A-2A) shall not participate in more than 19 matches, exclusive of district, regional and state contests during a season.

11 The CHSAA Constitution and Bylaws are the official rules of the Association. Information in this bulletin provides the regulations for volleyball competition, but never supersedes the regulations found in the Constitution and Bylaws. Included in the school boxes is an official copy of the CHSAA Handbook Constitution and Bylaws. Handbooks are also available on line at by selecting Bylaws. Checking eligibility is not the sole responsibility of the athletic director. It is the responsibility of the coach to know the information found in the Constitution and Bylaws. Therefore, the Bylaws should be read prior to the season. We encourage the telephone calls on areas of eligibility be made by the school athletic director or designated administrator; rulings on season policies can be made by the volleyball coach. Please contact Bethany Brookens, Assistant Commissioner for volleyball VOLLEYBALL COACHES & PROFESSIONALISM AT THE STATE TOURNAMENT: Professional attire and demeanor is expected at all matches, especially at the CHSAA State Volleyball Championships. Coaches are expected to dress professionally and not in athletic gear for the state tournament. EXCERPT FROM THE CHSAA VOLLEYBALL LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL (LC) MAJOR CHANGES FROM LAST YEAR'S REPORT: A. None II. RATIONALE FOR MAJOR CHANGES: A. NA 8 Updated

12 July, 2017 Hello Coaches, CVOA is excited to join you and your team on the court for the season. NFHS has made rule changes we all need to be aware of: All time-outs will end with an audio signal (horn). The R2 will initiate a warning whistle at 45 seconds or at any other time when both teams take the court and are ready to play before before the audio signal (horn) is sounded at 60 seconds Rule 5-5-3b(12) Between sets the R2 will whistle a warning at two minutes, 45 seconds (4:45 when intermission is used) followed by the timer sounding the audio signal (horn) at three minutes (five minutes when intermission used) unless both teams are on the court Rule 5-5-3b(19) If the R2 is busy checking the scoresheet the R1 will initiate the warning whistle Rule c(17) The audio signal (horn) will only be used to indicate the official end of a time-out, and no longer for the warning at 45 seconds into the time-out Rule 5-8-3a A replay is now considered to be part of a single play action. Therefore, once a replay is called no requests, e.g., time-out, service order, lineup check, substitution, libero replacement, etc., may be recognized until after the rally is completed Rule The illegal substitution signal (Signal 20) has been omitted as the penalty is Unnecessary Delay, and now eliminates two signals for one penalty These rule changes will be covered in detail at the CVOA mandatory Regional Clinics to assure Officials state wide are facilitating them efficiently. CVOA Rules Interpreter Ray Lameiro will attend the CHSAA coaches meeting to cover these rule changes and answer any questions you might have. CVOA joins CHSAA in an effort to promote good sportsmanship. Sportsmanship cards are to be filled out and given to coaches before each match. We encourage coaches to rate your contest officials on the CHSAA website after every varsity match and participate in the voting process for State Officials at the end of the season. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions. Good luck with your season, Sincerely, Linda Friesen, President Colorado Volleyball Official s Association lfriesen01@bresnan.net Updated

13 5-5-3b(12): Outlines mechanics for the second referee to sound a warning whistle at 45 seconds or any other time when both teams take the court ready to play before the audio signal (horn) is sounded at 60 seconds. Clarifies all time-outs are officially ended with the audio signal (horn). Rationale: The defining end of a time-out shall be the horn and the warning of the impending end of the time-out is the second referee s whistle at 45 seconds or at any other time when both teams take the court ready to play before the audio horn is sounded at 60 seconds c(17): On a time-out, the first referee shall whistle the warning if the second referee is still checking the scoresheet. Rationale: A procedure is needed for the sounding of the warning whistle should the second referee still be involved with checking the scoresheet a: Outlines the new procedures for the timer to give the audio signal (horn) only to officially end a time-out and no longer for the warning at 45 seconds into the time-out. Rationale: Clarifies that the audio signal (horn) shall only be sounded to indicate the official end of a time-out New: A replay, is considered, to be a part of a single play action. Therefore, once a replay has been called, by the first referee, no requests, e.g., time-out, service order, lineup, substitution, libero replacement, etc., may be recognized until after the rally is completed. Rationale: A replay is a single action to repeat the start and completion of a rally that was interrupted under Rule Clarifies when resuming play, all circumstances should be the same and no requests shall be recognized for, e.g. time-out, service order, lineup, substitution, libero replacement etc. Officials Signals: Omit the illegal substitution signal (Signal # 20) as the penalty is Unnecessary Delay if attempting to enter the set and illegal alignment if observed in the set. Rationale: The penalty for illegal substitution is "unnecessary delay--administrative yellow or red card;" there is no longer a need to have two penalty signals, illegal substitution and unnecessary delay. 10 Updated

15 NATIONAL FEDERATION OF STATE HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATIONS NEWS RELEASE New Time-out Responsibilities Approved for Second Referee in High School Volleyball FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Becky Oakes INDIANAPOLIS, IN (November 9, 2017) The responsibilities and mechanics of the second referee during a time-out in high school volleyball have been altered. Effective with the season, the second referee will whistle a warning at 45 seconds and instruct the timer to sound the horn at 60 seconds as the defining end of a time-out. Further, the second referee shall whistle if the teams are ready to play prior to the 45-second warning and then instruct the timer to sound the horn. This revision to Rule 5-5-3b was one of five rules changes recommended by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Volleyball Rules Committee at its January 8-10 meeting in Indianapolis and subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors. In a related change, Rule 5-4-3c(17) now states that the first referee shall whistle a warning at 45 seconds if the second referee is still checking the scoresheet. In addition, Rule 5-8-3a states that every time-out will end with a warning whistle by the second referee followed by the horn sounded by the timer. The committee is in resounding agreement that the sport of volleyball is in a good position. Participation numbers are higher than ever and there is no need to make many changes to the rules, said Becky Oakes, NFHS director of sports and liaison to the Volleyball Rules Committee. 12 Updated

16 A new rule, 9-8-2, clarifies that a replay is considered to be part of a single-play action. Once a replay is signaled by the first referee, no requests time-out, service order, lineup, substitution, libero replacement, etc. may be recognized until after the replay. A change was also made in the Officials Signals in the Volleyball Rules Book. Signal No. 20 for illegal substitution will be eliminated since the penalty for illegal substitution is covered in signal No. 22 unnecessary delay. A complete listing of all rules changes will be available soon on the NFHS website at Click on Activities & Sports at the top of the home page, and select Volleyball. According to the NFHS High School Athletics Participation Survey, volleyball is the second-most popular sport for girls with 436,309 participants. A total of 15,755 schools offered girls volleyball in and 2,333 offered boys volleyball. This press release was written by Bryce Woodall, an intern in the publications/communications department at the NFHS. He is a senior at Franklin (Indiana) College, studying public relations. ### About the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) The NFHS, based in Indianapolis, Indiana, is the national leadership organization for high school sports and performing arts activities.

17 PLAYER BENCH OCCUPANTS Teams will always be seated on the same side of the net as they play. During the contests, the player bench may be occupied only by the following: eligible substitutes, coach, assistant coaches, faculty representatives, team managers, team statisticians and scorekeeper, team trainer or doctor, and disqualified players, unless they have been instructed to remove themselves from the player bench. WARM-UP There will be a maximum 15 minute warm-up period between matches unless the scheduled start time dictates otherwise. The 15 minutes will begin as soon as the court is cleared from the preceding match. It is the responsibility of the home site s administrator to oversee warm-up time. The following format is highly recommended: 5 minutes Both teams on their side of the court. 5 minutes Visiting team both sides of the court (including serving). 5 minutes Home team both sides of the court. PENALTY FOR LEAVING THE PLAYING FLOOR BEFORE MATCH IS COMPLETED Withdrawing a team from the playing floor before the completion of a contest can have great consequences. The CHSAA Constitution and Bylaws state: No member school may withdraw its team from an athletic contest prior to the termination of the contest, except by mutual consent of the responsible faculty representatives from the participating schools. DISQUALIFICATION FOR UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT Any player who has been ejected from a match or tournament for committing any unsportsmanlike act shall be disqualified for the remainder of that match or contest. In addition, the player shall be ineligible for the next regularly scheduled match or contest of the same level (sophomore, junior varsity, or varsity). She may not take part in any other sets or contests at any level during this time. The number of matches, meets or contests for which the participant has been declared ineligible will decrease the stated maximum allowable matches, meets or contests in each sport for the disqualified participant. A school may not schedule a contest after an ejection in order to circumvent the penalty. If such ejection occurs in the final match or contest of the season, then that player shall be ineligible for the first match or contest of the next season of sport that player elects to play. In satisfying the penalty, the player must sit out a set in a sport in which she completes the season. Any player ejected from a second match or contest during the same season shall be ineligible for the next two matches or contests of the same level. Any player ejected from a third match or contest during the same season shall be subject to a penalty to be determined by the Commissioner. VOLLEYBALL UNIFORMS Please be sure to check the uniform regulations found in the NFHS Volleyball Rules Book. It is highly recommended that you give the manufacturer a copy of the rules book when you order new uniforms. DO NOT HAVE YOUR UNIFORM MANUFACTURER CALL THE CHSAA OFFICE WITH QUESTIONS. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ILLEGAL UNIFORMS. Although like uniforms are preferred at all levels, varsity is the only level that will be penalized for uniform violations. 14 Updated

18 SCORING FOR SUB-VARSITY MATCHES It is strongly recommended that 2 out of 3 sets be played at all sub-varsity levels to enhance time management constraints. Further recommendations to shorten nights include: 1. Go to fewer points such as 15 or 21 (can have a cap such as 15 points or 21) Therefore, teams could win or 21-20; you don t have to win by 2 points if there is a cap. 2. Monitor warm-up time between matches. 3. Flip coins before the first sub-varsity match for all matches that will be played that evening/day. 4. Use of multiple nets and/or gymnasiums where available. * Play is recommended for Saturdays to decrease the amount of school missed and alleviate travel time. * If a team from a league that has adopted a certain format plays a team from a league that has adopted a different format the two coaches must agree before the match begins. Otherwise it will be 3 out of 5 sets to 25 points (no cap) with the deciding set to 15 points (no cap). 15 Updated

19 The Volleyball Officials Organization is a group of people who find satisfaction in associating with high school students and the sport of volleyball. The ability of the schools to make the work pleasant enough to continue to command the interest of people with good personalities, sincere intentions, and good judgment is a very important factor in the administration of school athletic programs. With this thought in mind, we would like to bring the following items to your attention: Registered Officials: Only officials who are registered with the Commissioner may be contracted by member schools to officiate in all varsity and junior varsity interscholastic contests. It is highly recommended that only registered officials be used in any interscholastic contest at the sub-junior varsity levels. Contracts for Contests: Contracts for matches should be in writing to avoid any misunderstandings as to terms or dates. If possible, send a reminder to the official about the date, time, and location of the contest. Greet Officials: Have someone available to greet the officials at your school and to direct them to their dressing room. Make checks out in advance and have them available at the conclusion of the varsity match. Rooms for Referees: Please provide a private room(s) for the officials as a dressing room and a room to conduct their pre-match conference. All visitors should be kept away. Officials Fees & Mileage: Please use the current version of the Officials Fees Report in the CHSAA Legislative Council Minutes for current payment and mileage information. 16 Updated

40 **In the case of a tie, the Tournament Director must call the CHSAA Volleyball Administrator to verify. All involved teams must sign off verifying they are in agreement that the tie was broken accurately using the following method. 1. Match record determines the seed for advancement (i.e. match record 3-0, 2-1, 1-2). 2. Always use head-to-head whenever two teams are tied. 3. REGIONALS/STATE: If there is a three way tie for only one qualifying spot, determine set percentage among TIED teams (eliminate non-tied teams). The two lowest set percentage teams will play one set to 25 points (no cap). The winner will then immediately play the highest set percentage team to determine the #2 seed. If two teams are tied with the highest set percentage, use head-to-head to break the tie. THERE MUST BE TWO, ONE-SET PLAYOFFS. a) If tie isn't broken, then a coin flip will occur. All three teams will flip at the same time. You must flip until one team flips differently than the other two (i.e. 2 heads and 1 tails). The odd team out (tails in this case) will be set aside and the other two will play the first set to 25. The loser will be #3; the winner will then play the odd team out one set to 25 to determine #1 and #2. 4. DISTRICTS ONLY: If there is a three way tie for TWO qualifying spots, (if only one qualifying spot is available go straight to criteria #4), apply the following tie-breaker in order (a, b, c, d) and determine the highest of the three teams. THERE MUST BE ONE, ONE-SET PLAYOFF. SEE BELOW: a) Eliminate non-tied teams. Determine the set percentage among TIED teams. (sets won total sets played among tied teams). a. Take the highest set percentage team as the #1 seed. If two teams have the same percentage, use head-tohead to break the tie. b. The two remaining tied teams will then play one set to 25 points to determine the #2 seed. (no cap) b) If three teams are still tied for the #1 seed, eliminate non-tied teams, use point differential among TIED teams (total points earned minus total points against). 1. Take the highest point differential as the #1 seed. If two teams have the same point differential, use head-tohead to break the tie. 2. The two remaining tied teams will then play one set to 25 points to determine the #2 seed. (no cap) c) If three teams are still tied for the #1 seed, re-instate non-tied teams, use set percentage among ALL teams. (Sets won total sets played) 1. Take the highest set percentage team as the #1 seed. If two teams have the same percentage, use head-tohead to break the tie. 2. The two remaining tied teams will then play one set to 25 points to determine the #2 seed.
