Some nights the VB gods smile on you!

Last Thursday night I picked up a game from a friend that double booked. It's homecoming at both schools so both teams want to get to the festivities. We start JV game at 5:15. To save time by mutual consent coaches agree to a cap of 25 in first two games and 15 for third. I am R2. First 25-24, second 25-23 and third one 15-14. Man were they fun for JV.
Varsity game. I'm R1. Regular rules. First game visitors won 25-19. Second game Home wins 25-23. Third game home is up 12-2 at one point. Visitors come back and win 26-24. Great games. Big, new, well lit, spacious gym. Air conditioned gym! Great sportsmanship from everyone. It was soooo much fun!

rnr, I see only one problem in what was done. I don't believe that the coaches have the authority to institute a "cap" on games in a match unless your state HS association allows that to be done. Since JV is governed under NFHS rules, IMHO, the winner is required to win by 2 points and only the second game met that criteria. With the scores that you posted, playing until someone actually won by 2, anyone could have legally won the match rather than the way that it was decided. As always, YMMV.

I have been told on a number of occasions and for different sports that NFHS only governs Varsity sports. That may just be a VA thing, but we can so what we want (or the coaches want) in the JV games around here. 3out of 3 is the example that comes to mind. Often making me wonder if the 3rd game is necc. when the first 2 are 25-5, 25-9.

outathm, usually the state association decides on any deviations from the national rules set. It is usually NOT left up to individual coaches or schools to decide on rules variations.

That's true, and moreover the scope of state rulings is generally limited by FED.
