Since the 2013/14 season, the following rules have been applied to the DVV's game operations: three points are awarded for a 3-0 or 3-1 win, two points for a 3-2 win and two points for a 2-3 defeat one point and no point for a 1-3 or 0-3 defeat. In the event of a tie, the number of games won first decides, then the set quotient (division method) and finally the ball point quotient (division method).
