Scoring
01Games to 21, cap at 25
02Single serve rotation once the score hits 20–21
034 rounds per Pro match · No overtime
04Placing team (Team A) chooses serve or receive
05Standings points (3 for a win / 1 for a tie) count for qualifying matches — divisional matchups, or a lower-division team beating a higher-division team
06Boundary lines mark the court — a ball landing on the line is in bounds unless cones say otherwise
Schedule & rules
01Team Elo drives playoff seeding and at-large spots at the championship — a higher Elo means more say in picking your opponent, and every game matters
02All newly approved USAR rules in effect — equal serving, the larger NHZ, shorter boundary, and other league-adopted updates
03Non-divisional matches (playing a different division) are low-risk — neither team has standings points on the line, only Team Elo
04If the lower-division team wins, they're awarded 3 standings points and the game counts toward their total games played
05If the lower-division team loses or ties, the match doesn't count toward standings at all — Elo only
06The higher-division team's standings are never affected by a non-divisional match, win or lose — only their Elo moves
