Art. 3: No team or girl representing a member high school shall participate
in more than thirty-six (36) competition points. A team/player may play
in a maximum of forty (40) matches. KSHSAA post-season tournaments are
not included in this number.
a. Dual (one match between two schools) = 1 point
b. Triangular (three schools playing one another) = 2 points
c. Quad (four schools playing one another) = 3 points
d. Tournament (more than four teams involved or when teams play four or
more matches in one day) =
5 points
Tournaments are limited to no more than six matches being played by any
one school. Teams are limited to no more than four tournaments at any one
level of competition (i.e., varsity, junior varsity, etc.).
NOTE: A tournament is defined as a multiple school contest in which a
winner is declared. Quadrangulars are not tournaments. Any volleyball
competition involving more than four schools shall be declared a tournament.
Player Exception: When varsity teams and sub-varsity teams play on the
same day at the same site, participation in both sub-varsity and varsity
matches, counts as the same match.
The same is not applicable when varsity teams and sub-varsity teams play
on the same day at separate tournaments. Players participating in both
varsity and junior varsity tournaments on the same day have played in
two of their allowed tournament competitions.
Tournament Exception: In a league with nine or more schools, a two day
league tournament or seven matches may be approved by the KSHSAA Executive
Board if necessary. Leagues must apply in advance for prior approval.
