A Message of Welcome from the
Commissioner of Athletics
Congratulations on securing a berth in the 2018-19 CIF - Southern Section Volleyball
Championships. This is an outstanding accomplishment for the team, student body and
school community. With the excitement of winning a spot in our playoffs, you may be
unsure about how to prepare. I urge you to read this booklet carefully and call our office for
any assistance.
This booklet has been prepared to ensure careful handling of financial affairs and to answer
questions regarding playoff procedures. While the coach is preparing her/his team,
consideration must be given to the decisions regarding playoff sites, designation of the host
team and the school sale of tickets. Along with the maze of details involving the game, you
have time constraints that go with this type of event. I know of no way to ease this pressure
except to say that championships are a great experience, enjoy them.
Again, congratulations and good luck in the playoffs!
Sincerely,
Rob Wigod
Commissioner of Athletics

PLAYOFF PAIRING FORMAT The CIF-SS Volleyball Commissioner and the Volleyball Advisory Committee, has made an effort to
update, clarify and enhance the overall presentation of the CIF-SS Ford Girls Volleyball Championships,
new language for the construction of playoff brackets has been adopted. SEEDS - The initial step is to
designate four teams in rank order as seeds, with No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 placed in the designated draw position
in each quarter of the bracket (see diagram 1). Now, designate the next four teams in rank order as seeds,
with No. 5, 6, 7, and 8 being placed in each quarter of the designated bracket (see diagram 1). Next, the
teams designated as seeds No. 9, 10, 11, and 12 will be placed in each quarter of the designated bracket
(see diagram 1). The last four teams in rank order designated as No. 13, 14, 15, and 16 will now be placed
in each quarter of the designated bracket (see diagram 1).
14
ADJUSTMENTS
Adjustments to this procedure would be made if the seeds in the same half/quarter of the bracket
were from the same league. If this occurs, using the example of the top half of the bracket,
should the No. 1 and 4 seeds be from the same league, No. 4 would become the No. 3 seed and
the No. 3 seed would fill the No. 4 designated position.
Another adjustment may become necessary to ensure that the No. 1 and 2 entries from the same
league are placed in opposite halves of the overall bracket.
Note: Throughout this process, a league No. 2 entry may not be seeded higher than the No. 1
entry from the same league, nor may a No. 3 league entry be seeded higher than the No. 2 entry
from the same league. If there are First Round byes available in playoff brackets, those byes will
be awarded to League Champions first, regardless of the overall seeding for that particular
bracket. If all the League Champions in that particular bracket have been awarded a bye, and
there are still additional byes available, 2nd place teams will have priority to receive them.
FILLING THE DRAW
The next step is to begin completing the draw by placing any remaining No. 2 league entries in
the opposite half of the bracket from the No. 1 entries from the same league. The final step to
complete the draw is to place the remaining No. 3 entries (along with any No. 4 entries, At-Large
and/or Freelance teams) from each of the respective leagues in the remaining open slots,
attempting to place each in one of the remaining “quarters” of the bracket where the league is not
represented. This process eliminates the aspect of schools from the same league meeting in the
second round of competition (Exception: if the overall bracket holds less than 32 teams, it is
possible for two teams from the same league to meet in the second round).
LEAGUE CHANGE OF ENTRY
Once the draw sheet has been finalized by the CIF Southern Section Office and then notification
is received that a league has made a mistake in submitting the proper entries in order of priority,
this Office will exchange positions of the schools involved in the bracket from that league.
Each league is entitled to two (2) entries with a four-team league, three (3) entries with a five or
six team league, four (4) entries with a seven or eight team league and five (5) entries with a nine
or more team League.
END OF COMPETITION
All league competition for entries must end on or before the Thursday (girls) and Wednesday
(boys) prior to the first playoff date. For girls’ teams October 11 and for boys’ teams April 24.
Schools may compete until Saturday in non‐league contests. For the girls’ teams October 13
and for boys’ teams April 27. Any contest(s) played after the completion of league play
and/or submission of league entries will not impact the seeding or ranking of a team or teams
that were involved in those events.

DETERMINATION OF SITES FOR ALL PLAYOFF ROUNDS AND FINALS*
To decide who shall be the host team AFTER the first round of competition will be the sole
responsibility of the Commissioner. In cases where two teams are paired after the first round of
the playoffs, the team having the fewest number of host games in playoff competition shall be
designated as the host team. When both teams have had an equal number of host playoff
contests, the Commissioner shall toss a coin to decide the host team. When a school has been
designated as the host school for a playoff contest it shall (1) act in that capacity unless excused
by the Commissioner, and (2) be considered the host team regardless of where the game is being
played. SPECIAL NOTE: Teams receiving a bye in the first round shall automatically be the
host team in the next round of the playoffs.
The designation of "host" does not guarantee the game will be played at the host school's facility.
It does designate the responsibility for management of the contest which includes suggesting a
site that will handle the anticipated crowd. A host school may use its home site facility if it can
safely provide for the anticipated crowd.
The host school is charged with the responsibility of securing an adequate gymnasium for
the holding of a volleyball playoff contest. It is recommended that where available and when
approved, playoff games shall be played in rent-free high school gymnasiums, but in cases where
it is necessary to pay a rental fee for an outside gymnasium; such an arrangement must be
approved by the Commissioner prior to the contest.
Competing schools are reminded that CIF Southern Section playoff volleyball games, while they
may be played at one school, are under the control of the CIF-SS. Both competing schools in any
one game are given equal consideration regarding seating. If, in the Commissioner's opinion, the
host team gym is not large enough to accommodate the anticipated crowd, the host team will be
required to reserve one-half of the gym's capacity for the visiting school's rooters.
*The CIF - Southern Section Division 2-9 Championships will take place on Saturday, November
3, 2018 @ 6:00pm. One team will be designated as the “Home” team and will be responsible for
securing a site for the divisional championship. A host school may use its home site facility if it
can safely provide for the anticipated crowd. A date and or time change may be adjusted if the
two opponents can mutually agree on the adjustment and upon approval from the CIF-SS
office.
In addition, selected divisions will be played at Cerritos College on Saturday, November 3, 2018.
The determination of which divisions will be played at Cerritos College will be made after the
semi-final round on Saturday, October 27, 2018.
The Division 1 Southern Section Girls Volleyball Championship will be played at Cerritos
College on Saturday, November 3, 2018.
18
PRE-GAME ARRANGEMENTS
The host school is responsible for:
1) Securing an adequate court for use in all playoff games which meets the
regulations as outlined in the National Federation Rules Book.
2) Contacting the visiting school prior to game day to establish any necessary ground
rules should the court or equipment not be within specified standards.
3) Game Ball - It is the responsibility of the host school to inform the visiting
schools prior to game day of the model of volleyball available for use in the
playoff game. (Spalding TF-VB5, TF-VB3)
4) Providing information to the visitors regarding directions to the school, locker
room arrangements, visitor parking, anticipated crowds, or any special court
conditions.
5) Ticket Procedure for both Home and Visiting school. The CIF-SS Office is not
presently equipped to survey all sites in use during the coming post season
competition. Therefore, we depend upon the good judgment of the host school
management to notify this Office and all opponents if a given site does not meet
minimum standards as outlined in the National Federation Rules Book.

Following each playoff contest, it is the responsibility of each school to call their local newspaper.

OFFICIAL SCORER, LIBERO TRACKER & TIMER
The official scorer, Libero tracker and timer are recognized as game officials, and it is
required that a faculty member or other qualified responsible ADULT staff these important
positions.
ANNOUNCER
(Please read prior to start of each contest)
The announcer should be a responsible adult who can set the tone of the game by calling
the fans' attention to the following points of reference.
(1) CIF Southern Section Playoff contests are conducted under the strictest
code of good sportsmanship. (2) The officials are neutral people, representing
the Commissioner, and have been selected because of demonstrated ability. (3)
Fans are encouraged to support their own team and are requested to display
proper sportsmanship with respect to the visiting school and the officials. (4)
Spectators are asked not to use flash photography. The CIF-SS appreciates
your attendance and support of high school volleyball.

CHEERING SECTION
Fan/Student cheering sections are encouraged to cheer and support their own team and
should display proper sportsmanship with respect to the opposing team and the game
officials. They are expected to follow the following guidelines and failure to do so may lead
to removal from the contest and or/forfeiture of the contest.
1. No noisemakers (horns, bells, victory bells, sirens, chimes, wooden blocks, balloons,
thunder sticks, musical instruments other than those in the band, etc.) will be permitted
inside the gymnasium at any CIF Southern Section Volleyball Game (non-league, league,
tournaments, or playoff). Megaphones may only be used by the school’s uniformed cheer
squads.
2. Cheering devices such as rally towels, pom poms and pennants are acceptable when used
within the bounds of good sportsmanship.
3. Face painting is acceptable from the NECK UP ONLY and shall not include any
inappropriate letters or symbols. Assigned school staff shall monitor their cheering sections
at all times.
4. It is the expectation that cheering section behavior will be monitored by the assigned
school staff of the school that they represent. All improper behavior/language should be
addressed and corrected immediately by school staff supervisors.
5. Rules are subject to specific events and or venue limitations.
PEP BANDS, CHEERING SQUADS
If the host school has a band of not more than 12 members capable of contributing to the
entertainment, there is no objection to having it play before games and during
intermissions. Under no circumstances may the band instruments be used for cheering
purposes. Electronic amplification is prohibited.
Even though additional members of the band purchase tickets, not more than 12 members
may comprise the pep band. Because several gymnasiums have poor acoustics, it has been
necessary to limit the number of players in a pep band. The noise generated by a large
band in a gym with poor acoustics is annoying to spectators and distracting to players.
No band other than the one from the host school shall be admitted as an organization except
by special permission of the Commissioner, who will act upon petition by the principal of
the host school. Under no circumstances may more than 12 members comprise a pep band.
Members of an authorized pep band, cheer and song leaders from both competing schools
shall be admitted free of charge if in uniform and accompanied by an adult supervisor.
29
POSTERS AND BANNERS
Posters and banners are an excellent way of creating good sportsmanship between
competing schools. Only those posters and banners exhibiting this concept will be
permitted.
PROTESTS
BY ACTION OF THE CIF-SS COUNCIL, PROTESTS OF PLAYOFF CONTESTS INVOLVING
NATIONAL FEDERATION RULES WILL NO LONGER BE ENTERTAINED FOLLOWING
THE CONCLUSION OF THE CONTEST.
Coaches may direct questions to the game officials as they pertain to a possible
misapplication of the rules in accordance with the National Federation rules governing that
sport. No protest may be carried forth once the contest is completed.
Coaches are encouraged to carry National Federation rule books with them for all playoff
contests.
Schools will still have the opportunity to protest a contest in accordance with Southern
Section rules, Rule 1111, as it pertains to use of ineligible player or violations of any CIF-SS
rule in accordance with the contest.
TICKETS
For games under the direct control of the Commissioner's Office, tickets will be issued to
competing schools in accordance with their request. See New Procedure pages 19-20.

FINANCIAL REGULATIONS
RESPONSIBILITY
The principal of each school participating in the CIF Southern Section Volleyball Playoffs
shall be responsible to see that prescribed procedures pertaining to playoff regulations, as
outlined in this section, are followed. If the principal so desires, this responsibility may be
delegated to a member of his staff.
FINANCIAL REPORT
The CIF-SS Executive Committee has required that the host school charge admission to Girls
Volleyball Playoff contest. (See financial policy Article 10, Section 143-145, CIF-SS Blue
Book, page 57. All information can be found on the web site.
Financial forms be submitted via www.cifsshome.org. Any reports submitted via e-mail or
U.S. Mail will be returned to the submitting school as submission via the link above is
mandatory. Checks and unused tickets are the only items that should be physically mailed to
CIF-SS.
All Playoff costs exceeding $350 must have CIF-SS approval.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Financial reports MUST be submitted within TEN DAYS after the contest.
TRAVEL EXPENSE STATEMENT
The visiting school will pay its own traveling expenses and submit a statement of these
expenses, after the game (within three days), via www.cifsshome.org. These expenses would
include mileage for transportation and lodging and/or meals where approved by CIF-SS
Office. Traveling expenses of the visiting team are considered part of the game expenses.
42
ALLOWABLE TRAVEL EXPENSE
The CIF-SS Executive Committee has set the allowable travel expense as it pertains to
volleyball.
Traveling squads shall be limited to a maximum of 18 in the party, including players, coaches,
manager, and administrators. Schools may take additional personnel if they wish, but at
their own expense. A maximum of $1.50 per mile round trip will be approved for either
chartered or school bus transportation. The maximum allowance for private automobile
transportation (limit of three cars) would be $0.50 per mile, per car, round trip. Distance
obtained from Map Quest, Google Maps or Yahoo Maps shall be used, when available, for
computing expense.
It is the intent to encourage schools to utilize private automobile transportation when possible
to keep the travel allowance at a minimum and possible financial loss to schools involved.
Please pass this information along to the person on your campus charged with completing the
financial report form.
MEALS AND LODGING
No allowance will be permitted for meals or lodging without prior approval of
the CIF-SS Office. Approval to travel will only be accepted via e-mail.
Please send to Lisa McInerney at [email protected] This is necessary to insure
uniform expenditures for all schools. Where approved, maximums are $3.00 for breakfast,
$5.00 for lunch, $8.00 for dinner for a party of 18. The number of meals allowed a school will
be determined by the CIF-SS Office based on distance traveled and the scheduled time of the
game. No meals will be authorized when the travel distance is less than 140 miles round trip.
Where lodging is authorized, the maximum shall be $10.00 per person for a group of not
more than 18.
No lodging will be permitted unless the distance is over 550 miles’ round trip.
TELEPHONE CALLS
Telephone calls will not be listed as game expense. Both competing schools and the CIF-SS
Office will pay for all calls from their share of the game receipts.
CONCESSIONS
Where concessions and programs are involved in a playoff contest, the profit or loss from
such enterprises shall not be included in the financial report. The host school reserves the
right to handle the program and concessions as a separate venture and need not share the
profit nor expect the CIF-SS or the visiting school to share in any loss.
43
GAME PERSONNEL
The host management is responsible for staffing the gymnasium with the personnel necessary
to conduct the contest. It would be expected that the same pay schedule followed for league
contests would be used to reimburse ticket sellers, ticket takers, police, physician, and
custodial help. In determining the pay scale for working personnel in playoff games, schools
are reminded that it should be computed based on one contest.
In playoff contests, payment to faculty personnel to supervise a rooting section is not an
allowable expense and may not be charged to game expense. It is realized that some schools
pay faculty persons to supervise rooting sections in league contests, but because this is not the
policy in many schools, the Executive Committee has ruled that if a school (host or visitor)
desires to pay such personnel, it shall do so out of its share of the net receipts and not charge
the cost to game expense.
There is a wide disparity of staffing policies for athletic contests among schools in the
Southern Section. Because of this, schools in the playoffs are asked to assign the minimum
number of personnel necessary to assure efficiency and safety.
GATE PROCEDURES
All schools hosting playoff games should make certain that gate personnel handling tickets
are advised of the following procedures.
1. All tickets presented for admission are to be torn in half to prevent further use.
2. All tickets are to be checked for appropriate color. This is to prevent someone from
entering with a ticket designated for another game or with a ticket that was used for
the previous playoff round. This also prevents an adult from entering with a student
ticket, a student with a child's ticket, etc.
3. All ticket-takers and gate personnel should familiarize themselves with the CIF-SS
Press Pass, CIF-SS Photo Pass, and CIF-SS Courtesy Card.
4. All ticket-takers and gate personnel will be provided a CIF-SS Courtesy Card Void
List sent prior to playoffs via email to the Athletic Directors to check for any invalid
cards. Please instruct them to confiscate any voided cards and return them to the CIF
Southern Section office.
44
ADMISSION OF WORKING FACULTY PERSONNEL
BOTH SCHOOLS: Only those regular faculty personnel from the competing schools who
have been assigned definite supervisory responsibilities for the playoff game will be admitted
free of charge. No other administrators, counselors, faculty or staff members will be
admitted without a complimentary or general admission ticket.
HOST SCHOOL: The host school shall submit its designated number of working faculty
personnel (i.e., supervisors for reserved seat areas or rooting sections, and other related
assignments) as part of the Game Management Form which is required by the CIF-SS Office
prior to each scheduled playoff game.
VISITING SCHOOL: The visiting school shall submit its list of working faculty personnel
(i.e., supervisors for rooters' buses and rooting sections) directly to the host school prior to
the date of the game.
COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS
Each school participating in the CIF Southern Section Volleyball Playoffs will receive an
allotment of 10 general admission tickets for each match in which they compete. If additional
tickets are desired, they must be purchased at the prevailing rate by the school. Drivers of
team and rooter buses must be provided with tickets by the school; they will not be admitted
without a ticket. These tickets are also to be used for scouting purposes.
COURTESY CARDS AND PASSES
CIF-Southern Section Courtesy Cards will be honored for all volleyball playoff contests,
INCLUDING THE CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS. Courtesy Cards will be checked at the gate.

The CIF-SS Office will provide pre-sale and ticket supplies. See pages 19-20

specifically requested. Drivers of team and rooter buses must be provided with tickets
by the school. They will not be admitted without a ticket.

tickets.
NO TICKETS WILL BE ISSUED TO A SCHOOL AUTOMATICALLY – THEY
MUST BE REQUESTED. General admission tickets for sale may be secured upon
request. Although these tickets will be issued to the visiting school directly from the
CIF-SS Office, the accounting of these tickets will be made to the host school.
As soon as possible (preferable the night of the game) the visiting school should send
the following items to the financial manager of the host school:
1) All unsold tickets
2) Complete report for all advance ticket sales via www.ciffinancialreports.org
3) Check for the total amount of ticket sales
4) Statement of travel expenses, including mileage for transportation and lodging
