Adaikes Volleyball League

 

The United Adaikes National Volleyball Federation organized a professional volleyball league in the United Adaikes, the Adaikes Volleyball League (AVL). It has 16 teams coming from private companies, branches of the military of the country, as well as its military academy (which is not a member of the UAAUA).

President, United Adaikes National Volleyball Federation: Becka Reynolds
Commissioner, Adaikes Volleyball League: Amado Tupper

 

It has two tournaments in one season.

 

The first one, the AVL Invitational, after the UAAUA Volleyball Championship, invites the top eight (8) member universities of UAAUA Volleyball. With a total of 24 teams, they are divided into four (4) groups. There should be no more than two (2) university teams in one (1) group. They play a double round-robin with the teams in their group before the top four (4) teams in each group advance to a final double-elimination stage to determine the winner of the AVL Invitational.

When the UAAUA Volleyball season is ongoing, the AVL plays the AVL Grand Prix, with only the 16 teams vying for volleyball supremacy in the United Adaikes. All 16 teams play each other twice, with the top 12 teams advancing to a final double-elimination stage to determine the winner of the AVL Grand Prix.

 

During Group Stage, when a team wins a match 3-0 or 3-1, the winner takes 3 points, while the loser takes 0 points. When a team wins a match 3-2, the winner takes 2 points, while the loser takes 1 point.

 

To break ties in tables, the procedure is as follows:
a. Number of matches won
b. Match points won
c. Sets ratio
d. Points ratio
e. Head-to-head result
