a. Dual (one match between two schools) = 1 point
b. Triangular (three schools playing one another) = 2 points
c. Quad (four schools playing one another) = 3 points
d. Tournament (more than four teams involved or when teams play four or more matches in one day) = 5 points

Tournaments are limited to no more than six matches being played by any one school. Teams are limited to no more than four tournaments at any one level of competition (i.e., varsity, junior varsity, etc.).

NOTE: A tournament is defined as a multiple school contest in which a winner is declared. Quadrangulars are not tournaments. Any volleyball competition involving more than four schools shall be declared a tournament.

Player Exception: When varsity teams and sub-varsity teams play on the same day at the same site, participation in both sub-varsity and varsity matches, counts as the same match.

The same is not applicable when varsity teams and sub-varsity teams play on the same day at separate tournaments. Players participating in both varsity and junior varsity tournaments on the same day have played in two of their allowed tournament competitions.

Tournament Exception: In a league with nine or more schools, a two day league tournament or seven matches may be approved by the KSHSAA Executive Board if necessary. Leagues must apply in advance for prior approval.
