New scoring system
At the FIVB congress held in Tokyo on October 28th, delegates from 138 countries unanimously approved the change of scoring system: it won't be the side-out system anymore, it will be the rally point system.
The rally point system makes the play almost completely different:
there will be no side-outs (which means all sets will be like tie-breaks) and
all the sets will be played till one team reaches 25 points (!) with 2 points difference
Another decision from this congress disables the use of old, white balls in national championships and, of course makes the blue-white-yellow ball the only possible ball to play with.
All national federations which are FIVB members must use these rules from January, 1st 2000.
Soon there will be a poll here about these new rules, so press Ctrl+D and stay tuned!
Some more national federations (I think six) have joined FIVB: Greenland, Antarctica, Palau, Niue, one from Africa (can't remember which one) and one more (which I have completely forgotten :-)). If you know which they are PLEASE tell me, or sign the guestbook. Thanx!
