optional for regular season.
9. First place from
each Class B region shall advance to the State Tournament.
10. All District, Regional
and State play will be best-of-five-set matches with rally scoring.
11. The 2013 officials
will be contracted by the NDHSAA. Assignment of officials for regional matches
may be made by the NDHSAA or the tournament manager. Officials working the
State A Tournament will be the top three selections from each region. Officials
working the State B Tournament will be the top selection state-wide from
Regions 2, 4, 6 and 8 plus two at-large officials. Assignments of these
officials for State Tournament matches are made by the NDHSAA office one week
prior to the tournament and officials will then be notified of their specific
assignments. Only NDOA and reciprocity officials are eligible to work regional
tournaments and only NDOA officials are eligible to work the state tournament.
12. A floor captain,
statisticians, desk officials, ball return workers, ticket takers and sellers,
ushers, etc., are to be obtained by the tournament manager. Desk officials are
required to wear distinguishing uniforms so they can be readily identified.
13. It is recommended
that registered officials be used as line judges. The NDHSAA will contract officials
for the state tournament. No mileage or
per diem may be paid. These officials will receive two tournament passes plus a
per-match fee.
14. No practice will be
allowed at the Regional Tournament site on the day prior to the start of the
tournament or any time once the tournament has begun.
15. In Regional and
State Tournaments, schools may have a 15 player roster and the maximum number
of players dressed for a match is also 15. If disciplinary action of a player
is taken by a coach removing a player because of violation of any Association
rules, a player may be replaced by someone else for the tournament. If
disciplinary action is taken by the coach for reasons other than NDHSAA rules
and regulations, a player may not be replaced. Any changes in the roster must
be cleared with the tournament manager beforehand. It is not necessary to use
the same players in Regional and State Tournaments.
16. Post-season regulations
prohibit the use of video equipment by schools except for the match they are
playing. This does not prohibit stations that have contracted for the televising
of tournaments from videotaping or filming for delayed telecasts. Private
individuals may use video recorders at NDHSAA-sponsored events provided they do
not interfere with other people’s view of the game. Tournament managers will
determine if individuals are causing any viewing problems.
17. Junior Varsity
matches are best of 3 set matches. In the event a team wins the first two sets,
the third set may be played by prior mutual agreement of the competing schools
and the officials have been informed of this possibility in advance.
18. Junior Varsity
warm-up shall be standardized.
