  • Matches must start no later than 15 minutes after the time indicated in the schedule (start time). For example: If the schedule says 19:45, then the match starts at 20:00 at the latest. Starting earlier is recommended so that there is enough time to complete 3 sets.
  • If the referee is not present on the start time the the team to which the team belongs loses one point.
