Principles for scores and ranking in the pools
Winning a match will give 2 points for the winner and 0 for the looser.
Rankings in the pools is decided by:
- Number of points
- Won minus lost sets in total
- Won minus lost balls in total
- The result of the in-between match (team A vs team B)
The net
Female: AGE 20: 2,24 m – AGE 17: 2,24 m – AGE 15: 2,15 m
Male: AGE 20: 2,43 m – AGE 17: 2,35 m – AGE 15: 2,24 m
Jump serve
When doing jump serve it will be allowed to cross the serve line if the approach is less than three meters. In the Dalum sports gym, there are markers indicating this. In the other gyms there are no markers or 3 meter approach is available. Make sure that this is communicated to both teams by the referee before the start of each match so confusions are avoided. The Danish coaches kindly assist our friends from Norway, Sweden and Germany.
Exceptions to age and sex
Kindly also note that various exceptions as to age and sex have been granted to a few teams. The exception has been given under the criteria that the player is not decisive for the result of the match. If you have players to which exceptions have been granted, please inform the coach of the other team about this before the match.
