Videos will be available also for streaming on iWant TFC and TFC IPTV and TFC.
Tournament format, winners
Competition is on single-round robin format in a bubble setup.
The Most Valuable Player (MVP) and members of the Dream Team, which includes two best outside hitters two middle blockers, one opposite spiker, one setter and one libero, will be announced at the end of the tourney.
PNVF said every point and set point are very important in this short competition.
In case of a tie, the first tiebreaker will be the most points gained — teams will be ranked by the most points gained per match, with the winner via three or four sets will gain three points, winner via five sets will get two points, loser via five sets will grab one point and loser via three or four sets will get zero.
If teams remain tied after the first rule is applied, the set quotient system will be the decider — if two or more teams are tied on the number of points gained, they will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of the number of all sets won by the number of all sets lost.
Points quotient, on the other hand, will be used if the tie persists — teams will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of all points scored by the total points lost during all sets.
If still there are ties, they will be broken based on the team that won the match in the round-robin phase between the tied teams. When the tie in point quotient is among three or more teams, the teams are ranked taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.
