Every WWST tournament guarantees at least 3 games per team. You’ll play 2-3 round-robin games to get warmed up and ranked, then head into the playoffs where it’s win or go home. This format keeps the day exciting, gives every team a fair shot, and ensures plenty of playing time for all!

Each team consists of 6 players on the court at any given time

Teams must have at least 2 girls on the court at all times

If a team only has one girl available, they must play with 4 players on the court (3 boys, 1 girl)

Rally scoring (a point is scored on every serve)

1 Set to 25 points

Teams must win by two, for example: 26-24

Each game will have a 40 minute time limitWinner is the first team to get to 25 (win by two) or when time expires

After the round-robin stage concludes, the tournament will advance to the playoffs in a win-or-go-home format, following the same structure as the round-robin games

The championship will be decided by a best-of-three series to crown the tournament champions
