Standings procedure

The ranking of teams in the LOVB regular season standings were determined as follows: ^[16]

• Each team will be ranked by their match win percentage (matches won divided by total matches played).
• If two teams are tied, the following tie-breakers will be applied in this order:

1. Head-to-Head (H2H) win ratio
2. H2H set ratio (sets won divided by sets played)
3. H2H point ratio (points won divided by total points)
4. Total set ratio against all opponents
5. Total point ratio against all opponents

• If more than two teams are tied, the following tie-breakers will be applied:

1. Win ratio, only including games played between tied teams
2. Set ratio, only including games played between tied teams
3. Point ratio, only including games played between tied teams
4. If one team is eliminated from the multiple-team H2H tie, the tie-breaking process will revert to the top of the multiple-team H2H process, or to the top of the two-team H2H process if only two teams remain.
