How are sets scored and how long are time-outs?

Under the Volleyball Canada 2026-27 rulebook:

• A set is won by the first team to 25 points with a lead of at least two points (play continues past 24-24 until one team leads by two).
• A match is won by winning 2 of 3 sets or 3 of 5 sets.
• If the deciding set is needed (third set in a best-of-three, fifth in a best-of-five), it is played to 15 points with a minimum two-point lead and no point limit. Teams change courts once the leading team reaches 8 points.
• Each team may request a maximum of two time-outs per set. Volleyball Canada time-outs last 60 seconds.
