by  the  team  that  first  scores  25  points  with  a  minimum 
2-point  advantage  (no scoring  cap).  If  there  is  a  deciding
 set,  it will  be  won  by  the  team  that  first  scores  15
points with a minimum 2-point advantage (no scoring cap). Change
sides when a team earns 8 points. A point will be scored on each
rally. If the receiving team wins the rally, they score a point
and gain the serve.

second-place teams to the Gold playoffs. All third-place teams to
