NEW RULES (commencing in September 2024)
The following rules have been approved for the 2024 volleyball provincials

All matches will use the 12 sub unlimited rule with 1 or 2 liberos
- A team may designate different players as their liberos each set. The liberos do not serve. Please click here for a description of the Libero procedures.
Girls & Boys teams may play the ball off the ceiling (including overhead obstructions) provided that the contact with the ceiling takes place above the floor within the court and free zone (head official to confirm free zone designation with host) and the ball does not cross into the opponents playing space immediately after contacting the ceiling or obstruction.
The official game ball is the Molten V5M5000 FLISTATEC Series. The colour of the ball is irrelevant. However, when multiple balls are used within a match (3-ball system) all the balls must be of the same colour. For provincial championships, the same colour ball will be used for all matches.

Tournament Structure
The championship will consist of a sixteen (16) team tournament.

The tournament will be separated into four (4) power pools of four (4) teams each. At the conclusion of the power pool play, all 16 teams will enter a traditional single-elimination bracket.
The winners of each power pool will be moved up one spot (i.e., The winner of power pool B (teams 5-8) will be seeded 4th in the elimination bracket) while the last place team in each power pool will drop one seed (i.e., the last place team in power pool B (teams 5-8) will be seeded 9th in the elimination bracket).

All matches on the championship side of the draw will be Best 3-of-5. All Placement and Consolation matches will be best 2-of-3. The bronze medal match will be best 2-of-3.
