Every team will play a minimum of sets equal to 5 matches. Aka, each team will play a minimum of 6 sets on Saturday and 4 sets on Sunday. Pool play will take place on Saturday with playoffs on Sunday.

Format for pool play will depend on the number of teams within a division and pool. Pools with four teams or three teams playing a crossover match will play two sets to 25 with a third set to 15 if needed. Pools with three teams not playing a crossover match will play three sets to 25 regardless of the outcome.

Pool winners will be determined by set percentage. If there is a tie, it will go to the point differential. If there is a tie, there will be a coin toss.

Playoffs will be best two out of three. The first two sets will be to 25 with the third set, if needed, to 15.
