volleyball season. As you embark on this season, I wish you and your athletes the best. Your enthusiasm, energy and knowledge will be passed on to your eager athletes. I look forward to a great year of volleyball. There are several CHSAA bylaws that I want to highlight: 1. 1800.21 (Club Coach Rule): A student transferring, moving or for any reason to a new school where the student’s non-school coach is also a coach of the school team, is considered to be attending for athletic purposes. The student, as a result of this transfer, will be ineligible for varsity competition for one calendar year from the date of the transfer in any sport(s) they participated in during the twelve months prior to the transfer. As used in this Rule, the term “coach” includes any person who coaches, volunteers (regardless of compensation) or assists in any capacity with the coaching or training of the school or non-school team. 2. 1800.3 (Athletic Transfer): Any transfer substantially motivated by athletic considerations will cause the student to be ineligible for one varsity competition for one calendar year from the date of the transfer in any sport(s) they participated in during the twelve months prior to the transfer. **If a student transfers to a school where his/her previous coach is a coach of the current school team, that move will be deemed motivated by athletic consideration. Under provision of this rule, the coach may be a former school coach or non-school coach (1800.44d). 3. 1900.5 (8th Grade Contact): A person, acting in the capacity of the high school coach or serving in a role representing the high school, may have informational meetings anytime with 8 th grade students who live in that high school’s attendance area as established by the school district, or with those 8th grade students that have pre-registered to attend that high school; the coach may conduct practice with those eighth graders starting May 1. This contact may include currently registered underclassman. The Sunday Contact Rule applies to this contact. 4. 2210 (Coach Ejection): A coach ejected from a game is required to complete the following courses offered online by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS): Sportsmanship and Teaching and Modeling Behavior. These courses shall be completed before he/she will be removed from probation and must be finished in a reasonable amount of time during the season, to be determined by the school’s athletic director. 5. 2310.5 (Sunday Contact): A coach may have contact with his or her team on Sunday for a social, academic or service related activity that is strictly voluntary. The contact must be a voluntary, noncompetitive/non-participatory activity. CONTACT YOUR AD FOR CLARIFICATION. If you have any questions with these bylaws, please contact your athletic director. Please keep in mind that you are our best public relations directors. Your role as coach and leader are respected not only by your peers, but by your students and community members as well. Our collective goal is to educate through activities; when the experiences for our youth are enjoyable and valuable, it enhances the overall educational process; and we can influence the public in a very positive way. I know your upcoming season will pass quickly and that your efforts and accomplishments will be memorable to those involved. Good luck and have an enjoyable season! Sincerely, Bethany Brookens Assistant Commissioner 1 FIRST DAY OF PRACTICE ......................................................................................................

DATE: August 2016 TO: Athletic Directors and Volleyball Coaches FROM: Bethany Brookens, CHSAA Assistant Commissioner RE: Breast Cancer Awareness Thank you for all of your support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month this past year! This fall, during the volleyball season and in conjunction with the American Cancer Society, the CHSAA will once again be promoting breast cancer awareness throughout the month of October. This coincides with National Breast Cancer Awareness month. The purpose of the campaign is to raise breast cancer awareness in young women and their mothers. We are encouraging schools to “think pink” and come up with a way to promote Breast Cancer Awareness at a home volleyball match during October. This is not mandatory. **Please note that it’s important not to use the words “XXX for THE CURE” in any of your literature unless you are planning on giving your donations to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. “The CURE” is a trademarked name that cannot be duplicated. All over the country volleyball teams are holding events to support breast cancer awareness, and we would encourage you to promote this as much as you can! Some suggestions are: “Think Pink” PSA’s and other information may be found on our website. If you have questions, please call me at 303-344-5050 or email bbrookens@chsaa.org. Please do not send any money to this office – each school may distribute funds as they desire. *Please note the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure will be held on Sunday, September 25, 2016. You could encourage your athletes and their moms to participate in this event to kick off the week. **Wilson Sporting Goods, the official sporting goods equipment sponsor of the CHSAA and The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, has the following Pink Volleyballs available for school purchase: - WTH7700PNK: I-Cor High Performance Pink – Game Volleyball for $45.95 per ball - WTH3501XPNK: Recreational Soft Touch pink volleyballs available for $10 per ball. - WTH6-11XPNK: Mini pink balls for fan appreciation gifts at $8.00 per ball.

It is strongly recommended that coaches be clear on the number of matches their team will play in a given tournament. This information must be included in the tournament contract. *Member schools that are in a classification that do not have a district tournament (3A-5A) shall not participate in more than 23 matches, exclusive of regional and state contests during a season. *Member schools that are in a classification that have a district tournament (1A-2A) shall not participate in more than 19 matches, exclusive of district, regional and state contests during a season. All JV level teams or below are still only allowed a maximum of 19 matches. A student may not participate in more than 95 sets exclusive of district, regional and state tournament matches if the school at which the student plays is in a classification that has a district tournament (1A-2A). *A student may not participate in more than 115 sets exclusive of regional and state tournament matches if the school at which the student participates is in a classification that does not have a district tournament (3A-5A) Teams that have played more contests than allowed in the Sport Bylaws will be restricted from playoff activities, without appeal. Volleyball rally scoring scorebooks can be purchased from the National Federation at 1-800-776-3462 7 The CHSAA Constitution and Bylaws are the official rules of the Association. Information in this bulletin provides the regulations for volleyball competition, but never supersedes the regulations found in the Constitution and Bylaws. Included in the school boxes is an official copy of the CHSAA Handbook Constitution and Bylaws. Handbooks are also available on line at www.CHSAANow.com by selecting Bylaws. Checking eligibility is not the sole responsibility of the athletic director. It is the responsibility of the coach to know the information found in the Constitution and Bylaws. Therefore, the Bylaws should be read prior to the season. We encourage the telephone calls on areas of eligibility be made by the school athletic director or designated administrator; rulings on season policies can be made by the volleyball coach. Please contact Bethany Brookens, Assistant Commissioner for volleyball EXCERPT FROM THE 2016-2017 CHSAA VOLLEYBALL LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL (LC)… MAJOR CHANGES FROM LAST YEAR'S REPORT: A. The CHSAA RPI Ranking System will be used in place of the MaxPreps rankings. B. 1A/2A Districts were realigned. II. RATIONALE FOR MAJOR CHANGES: A. All CHSAA team sports have adopted the CHSAA RPI ranking system as it is more transparent than MaxPreps. B. To accommodate the changes in classifications based on new enrollments numbers and leagues. 8 July 2016 Dear Coaches: The Volleyball Season is quickly approaching and with it comes some rule changes I want you to be aware of. 1. Solid colored jersey restrictions are in full effect this year, and all uniform designs should be approved through the CHSAA office. Rule 4-2-2 2. The 2 minute intermission may only be used for promotional and or special recognition activities. It may not be used for additional rest time. Rule 11-5-1 3. When an error on the line-up is identical numbers of the starting players and or libero, it may be legally corrected without penalty. Rule 7-1-4 4. Hair devices may be a maximum of 3 inches in width. Rule 4-1-5 5. Panels on the competition volleyball must be rectangular and identical in size. Rule 3-2-1 These rule changes will be covered in detail at the CVOA mandatory Regional Clinic to assure Officials state wide are facilitating them efficiently and consistently, and the CHSAA coaches’ meetings. CVOA joins CHSAA in an effort to promote good sportsmanship. Sportsmanship cards are to be filled out and given to coaches before each match. We encourage coaches to rate your contest officials on the CHSAA website after every varsity match and participate in the voting process for State Officials at the end of the season. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions. Good luck with your season, Sincerely, Linda Friesen, President Colorado Volleyball Official’s Association lfriesen01@bresnan.net 970.201.2494 9 1-2-2 The time period between sets is defined as a part of a match and delineates the difference between the timed interval and timed intermission. 3-2-1 Expands the definition of the ball to require panels to be a basic rectangular shape. 4-1-5 Hair devices worn in the hair or on the head shall be no more than 3 inches in width. 5-4-1h The new mechanic of a double whistle and raising coin in the air by the first referee shall be used to summon the captains and head coaches to the officials’ table to conduct the prematch conference. 7-1-3 Clarifies when the lineup is due from each team for the next set when an intermission is used between set numbers 2 and 3. 7-1-4 Reorganizes Article 4 and provides two options to correct a clerical error on the lineup when a player’s number is listed twice, including if one is the libero. 8-1-6 A tossed ball for serve contacting a backboard in a vertical position is a fault. 11-2, Penalty 2 A request for a third time-out is an unnecessary delay and penalized accordingly. 11-5-1 Clarifies a timed intermission between set numbers 2 and 3 may only be scheduled for use for promotional or special recognition activities. 2016-17 Volleyball Points of Emphasis 1. Intermission Reminders 2. Implementation of Solid-Colored Uniform Top 3. Improving Communication Between the Second Referee and Table Officials 4. Proper Use of Lineup Card 5. Substitution Procedure During a Time-Out 10 NATIONAL FEDERATION OF STATE HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATIONS NEWS RELEASE New Lineup Procedures Approved in High School Volleyball FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Becky Oakes INDIANAPOLIS, IN (August 22, 2016) — The process for submitting lineups in high school volleyball has been revised for the 2016-17 season. In addition to the revision in Rule 7-1-4 regarding lineup procedures, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Volleyball Rules Committee recommended eight other rules changes at its January 4-6 meeting in Indianapolis. All rules changes were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors. Following each set, coaches will be required to submit a numeric lineup to the scorer before one minute remains in the timed interval – or intermission when used. Rule 7-1-4 now states that if a player’s number is duplicated in more than one starting position (including the libero), the clerical error shall be corrected by either changing the libero’s number to another legal number or by substituting a player into that starting position with a legal number. “The committee wanted to provide greater clarity in the wording and organization of Rule 7-1-4,” said Becky Oakes, NFHS director of sports and liaison to the Volleyball Rules Committee. “In addition to correcting clerical errors as addressed within the rule, the libero is now included as a possible option when a player’s number is listed twice.” An emphasis on rule clarity was also applied to Rule 11-2 Penalty 2, which the committee altered to offer consistency in the application of unnecessary delay penalties. Oakes said if a team has used its allotted number of time-outs and requests a third time-out, “the resulting penalty would be an unnecessary delay and no longer carry the automatic loss of rally point for the opponent.” The penalty of unnecessary delay for the request of a third or subsequent time-out can be applied regardless of whether the second referee acknowledged it with a whistle and timeout signal. Another change approved by the committee includes “a new procedure in protocol” used by the first referee to begin the prematch conference, as is covered by Rule 5-4-1h. When the referee sounds a double whistle and raises a coin in the air, each team’s head coach and captain(s) are expected to meet at the official’s table. 11 “The committee believes this will eliminate the need to track down those individuals who are required to participate in the prematch conference,” Oakes said. “It will assist the officials in consistently and efficiently getting the conference started and beginning the match.” The committee also revised Rule 11-5-1, which clarifies that if a team is going to use an intermission between sets two and three, it can only be used for promotional or special recognition activities and not solely as an extended time interval. A complete listing of all rules changes will be available soon on the NFHS website at www.nfhs.org. Click on “Activities & Sports” at the top of the home page, and select “Volleyball.” According to the 2014-15 NFHS High School Athletics Participation Survey, volleyball is the second-most popular sport for girls with 432,176 participants. A total of 15,619 schools offered girls volleyball in 2014-15 and 2,287 schools offered boys volleyball. This press release was written by Cody Porter, graphic arts/communications assistant in the NFHS Publications/Communications Department. *** About the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) The NFHS, based in Indianapolis, Indiana, is the national leadership organization for high school sports and performing arts activities. Since 1920, the NFHS has led the development of education-based interscholastic sports and performing arts activities that help students succeed in their lives. The NFHS sets direction for the future by building awareness and support, improving the participation experience, establishing consistent standards and rules for competition, and helping those who oversee high school sports and activities. The NFHS writes playing rules for 16 sports for boys and girls at the high school level. Through its 50 member state associations and the District of Columbia, the NFHS reaches more than 19,000 high schools and 11 million participants in high school activity programs, including more than 7.8 million in high school sports. As the recognized national authority on interscholastic activity programs, the NFHS conducts national meetings; sanctions interstate events; offers online publications and services for high school coaches and officials; sponsors professional organizations for high school coaches, officials, speech and debate coaches, and music adjudicators; serves as the national source for interscholastic coach training; and serves as a national information resource of interscholastic athletics and activities. For more information, visit the NFHS website at www.nfhs.org. MEDIA CONTACTS: Bruce Howard, 317-972-6900 Director of Publications and Communications National Federation of State High School Associations bhoward@nfhs.org Chris Boone, 317-972-6900 Assistant Director of Publications and Communications National Federation of State High School Associations cboone@nfhs.org 12 PLAYER BENCH OCCUPANTS Teams will always be seated on the same side of the net as they play. During the contests, the player bench may be occupied only by the following: eligible substitutes, coach, assistant coaches, faculty representatives, team managers, team statisticians and scorekeeper, team trainer or doctor, and disqualified players, unless they have been instructed to remove themselves from the player bench. WARM-UP There will be a maximum 15 minute warm-up period between matches unless the scheduled start time dictates otherwise. The 15 minutes will begin as soon as the court is cleared from the preceding match. It is the responsibility of the home site’s administrator to oversee warm-up time. The following format is highly recommended: • • • 5 minutes – Both teams on their side of the court. 5 minutes – Visiting team both sides of the court (including serving). 5 minutes – Home team both sides of the court. PENALTY FOR LEAVING THE PLAYING FLOOR BEFORE MATCH IS COMPLETED Withdrawing a team from the playing floor before the completion of a contest can have great consequences. The CHSAA Constitution and Bylaws state: “No member school may withdraw its team from an athletic contest prior to the termination of the contest, except by mutual consent of the responsible faculty representatives from the participating schools.” DISQUALIFICATION FOR UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT Any player who has been ejected from a match or tournament for committing any unsportsmanlike act shall be disqualified for the remainder of that match or contest. In addition, the player shall be ineligible for the next regularly scheduled match or contest of the same level (sophomore, junior varsity, or varsity). She may not take part in any other sets or contests at any level during this time. The number of matches, meets or contests for which the participant has been declared ineligible will decrease the stated maximum allowable matches, meets or contests in each sport for the disqualified participant. A school may not schedule a contest after an ejection in order to circumvent the penalty. If such ejection occurs in the final match or contest of the season, then that player shall be ineligible for the first match or contest of the next season of sport that player elects to play. In satisfying the penalty, the player must sit out a set in a sport in which she completes the season. Any player ejected from a second match or contest during the same season shall be ineligible for the next two matches or contests of the same level. Any player ejected from a third match or contest during the same season shall be subject to a penalty to be determined by the Commissioner. VOLLEYBALL UNIFORMS Please be sure to check the uniform regulations found in the NFHS Volleyball Rules Book. It is highly recommended that you give the manufacturer a copy of the rules book when you order new uniforms. DO NOT HAVE YOUR UNIFORM MANUFACTURER CALL THE CHSAA OFFICE WITH QUESTIONS. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ILLEGAL UNIFORMS. Although like uniforms are preferred at all levels, varsity is the only level that will be penalized for uniform violations. 13 SCORING FOR SUB-VARSITY MATCHES It is strongly recommended that 2 out of 3 sets be played at all sub-varsity levels to enhance time management constraints. Further recommendations to shorten nights include: 1. Go to fewer points such as 15 or 21 (can have a cap such as 15 points or 21) Therefore, teams could win 15-14 or 21-20; you don’t have to win by 2 points if there is a cap. 2. Monitor warm-up time between matches. 3. Flip coins before the first sub-varsity match for all matches that will be played that evening/day. 4. Use of multiple nets and/or gymnasiums where available. * Play is recommended for Saturdays to decrease the amount of school missed and alleviate travel time. * If a team from a league that has adopted a certain format plays a team from a league that has adopted a different format the two coaches must agree before the match begins. Otherwise it will be 3 out of 5 sets to 25 points (no cap) with the deciding set to 15 points (no cap). 14 The Volleyball Officials’ Organization is a group of people who find satisfaction in associating with high school students and the sport of volleyball. The ability of the schools to make the work pleasant enough to continue to command the interest of people with good personalities, sincere intentions, and good judgment is a very important factor in the administration of school athletic programs. With this thought in mind, we would like to bring the following items to your attention: Registered Officials: Only officials who are registered with the Commissioner may be contracted by member schools to officiate in all varsity and junior varsity interscholastic contests. It is highly recommended that only registered officials be used in any interscholastic contest at the sub-junior varsity levels. Contracts for Contests: Contracts for matches should be in writing to avoid any misunderstandings as to terms or dates. If possible, send a reminder to the official about the date, time, and location of the contest. Greet Officials: Have someone available to greet the officials at your school and to direct them to their dressing room. Make checks out in advance and have them available at the conclusion of the varsity match. Rooms for Referees: Please provide a private room(s) for the officials as a dressing room and a room to conduct their pre-match conference. All visitors should be kept away. Officials Fees & Mileage: Please use the current version of the Officials’ Fees Report in the CHSAA Legislative Council Minutes for current payment and mileage information. 15 State Officials Playoff Voting Information State Officials voting will be held October 19-23, 2016. All athletic directors, coaches, and officials are invited to participate. This is your opportunity to vote for the official you will see in the playoffs. Please take a moment to vote for the best official. SCORERS INFORMATION Selection of Scorer-Timer – Assistant Scorer (Libero Tracker) It is essential to have competent scorers and timers. Please appoint two to three competent and experienced adults. It is essential that these officials thoroughly understand their responsibilities. It is recommended that your official scorer wears identifying apparel and that the scorers’ locations are clearly marked. If necessary, it is acceptable for your timer to also track the libero (assistant scorekeeper). Priorities at the Official Table (Scorers’ Bench) Efficiency-plus is expected at the officials’ table. Careful supervision will assure the officials at the table the most desirable, adequate, and pleasant working conditions possible DEFINITIONS FOR A SCORER (See NFHS Rules Book, page 54-55) Serve: Point: Penalty Point: Replay: Re-serve: Contact with the ball to initiate play. A point is awarded when the receiving team violates a rule during play. A point which is awarded when the receiving team violates a rule during play or a dead ball. A replay is the act of putting the ball in play (other than at the start of the set) without awarding a point or a side-out and without a service rotation.

All involved teams must sign off verifying they are in agreement that the tie was broken accurately using the following method. 1. Match record determines the seed for advancement (i.e. match record 3-0, 2-1, 1-2). 2. Always use head-to-head whenever two teams are tied. 3. When three teams are tied for the #1 seed or if there is a three way tie for two qualifying spots, (if only one qualifying spot is available go straight to criteria #4), apply the following tie-breaker in order (a, b, c, d) and determine the highest of the three teams. THERE MUST BE ONE ONE-SET PLAYOFF. SEE BELOW a. Eliminate non-tied teams. Determine the set percentage among TIED teams. (sets won ÷ total sets played among tied teams) 1. Take the highest set percentage team as the #1 seed. If two teams have the same percentage, use head-tohead to break the tie. 2. The two remaining tied teams will then play one set to 25 points to determine the #2 seed. (no cap) b. If three teams are still tied for the #1 seed, eliminate non-tied teams, use point differential among TIED teams (total points earned minus total points against). 1. Take the highest point differential as the #1 seed. If two teams have the same point differential, use head-tohead to break the tie. 2. The two remaining tied teams will then play one set to 25 points to determine the #2 seed. (no cap) c. If three teams are still tied for the #1 seed, re-instate non-tied teams, use set percentage among ALL teams. (Sets won ÷ total sets played) 1. Take the highest set percentage team as the #1 seed. If two teams have the same percentage, use head-tohead to break the tie. 2. the two remaining tied teams will then play one set to 25 points to determine the #2 seed. (no cap) d. If three teams are still tied for the #1 seed, re-instate non-tied teams, use point differential among ALL teams (total points earned minus total points against). 1. Take the highest point differential team as the #1 seed. If two teams have the same point differential, use head-to-head to break the tie. 2. The two remaining tied teams will then play one set to 25 points to determine the #2 seed. (no cap) 4. For a 3-way tie for the #1 or #3 seed or if there is a three way tie for only one qualifying spot, determine set percentage among TIED teams (eliminate non-tied teams). The two lowest set percentage teams will play one set to 25 points (no cap). The winner will then immediately play the highest set percentage team to determine the #2 seed. If two teams are tied with the highest set percentage, use head-to-head to break the tie. THERE MUST BE TWO ONE-SET PLAYOFFS. a. If tie isn't broken, then same procedure will be followed taking point differential among TIED tams (eliminate nontied teams). b. If tie isn't broken, then same procedure will be followed taking the set percentage among ALL teams. c. If tie isn't broken, then same procedure will be followed taking point differential among ALL teams. 36 3-WAY TIE FOR #3 SEED EXAMPLE POOL A Mtn. View 25-13 25-16 25-13 Mtn.
