Question: In high school volleyball, how many games must a team win in order to win the match (three out of five or two out of three)?
Answer: In N.J., by state adoption, teams play a best two out of three set match. Team is considered match winner when it wins two sets. The term “set” now replaces the term game. (Rule 1, Sec. 2, Art. 1-3)
Question: If a team wins the first two sets, is the third set necessary?
Answer: Unless necessary, the third set is not played. If a third set is required, a coin toss shall take place prior to that set. (Rule 1, Sec. 2, Art. 3, note 2)
