FIVB

New rules for the game were made officialat the Congress. Changes have been madein order to ensure a faster and more excit-ing pace and to meet the demands of tele-vision to l imit the average length of amatch.

The most major modification was theintroduction of the tie-break in the fifth set.When each side has won two sets, the lastset is played according to the rally pointsystem with a point given for any winningaction. The winner of the point serves. Thiswill avoid flagging interest during the finalphase of play in very long matches. Thefinal set will have a maximum number of33 actions, that is 17 and 16 on either side.

Seventeen is now the maximum scorein any set. More specifically, a set will bewon by the first team to reach 15 pointswith a minimum advantage of two points.In the case of a 14-14 or 15-15 tie, the setwill be won by the team which gets a twopoint advantage. If the score reaches 16-16,the team to score 17 will win the set by adifference of only one point,

The usual practice of prohibiting anyinterruption of play to wipe the floor wasalso approved. If they feel it necessary,players should see to wiping the floorthemselves between the conclusion of oneaction and the next service. No extra timewill normally be granted; the referee mayonly authorize outside intervention inexceptional circumstances,

Three minutes is now the time intervalbetween sets. During the fifth set, whenone of the teams reaches eight points,t eams mus t change ends o f the cour timmediately, with all players retaining theirprevious positions, with the exception of apossible rotation following a winning ser-vice on the eighth point or as a result ofsubstitutions made in the meantime. Times-out and substitutions remain unchanged,with each team having the possibility ofcalling two times-out and making six substi-tutions.
