In case of a 24-24 tie, play continues until a two-point lead is achieved.
The match is won by the team that wins three sets.
If the score is 2-2, the deciding set (the 5th) is played to 15 points with a minimum lead of 2 points.

The Toss

The first referee carries out a toss before the match to decide upon the first service and the sides of the court in the first set.
The winner of the toss chooses to either serve or receive the service or the side of the court.
The loser takes the remaining choice.
