The section/paragraph/sentence that needs to be added/deleted/changed would read as follows: No team representing a member school may participate in more than sixteen matches, in addition to the state sponsored series of tournaments from the date of the first permitted contest to the close of the state tournament. A team may not participate in more than six tournaments, which includes the conference tournament. Participation in any volleyball tournament shall count as one match of the sixteen matches permitted. Cost Analysis of Proposal: None. Some cost savings to schools because of reduced travel expense incurred filling a 30-point schedule with duals and triangulars and the increased distance of travel required to fill a competetive schedule with duals and triangulars. Rationale for the proposed change: The 30-point limitation, when it was adopted, utilized the same system used in wrestling. However, wrestling does not impose a limit on the number of tournaments scheduled. By increasing the tournament limitation in volleyball from five to six, we would improve the flexibility schools have with regard to scheduling and still maintain the integrity of dual and triangular matches.
