Name: Randy Kliment
School: Creighton
NSAA District: 3
The proposal deals with:
Yearbook:  Article 3  Section: 3.11.11.3  Page: 15
The section/paragraph/sentence indicates what is to be added/deleted/changed to the current Bylaw/Approved Ruling:
ADDITIONS are in all capital letters. (Changes/Deletions are in parentheses.)

The following school and student limitations apply:
(1) In other than tournament competition, three schools playing two contests or playing two other schools in one session [night], counts as only one match.
(2) No student shall take part in more than (three) FOUR volleyball matches per day in tournament competition. When a Nebraska team plays in an out-of-state tournament, the Nebraska school may play (four) FIVE matches in one day if that is the rule of the governing body of that state.
(a) In other than tournament competition, no student may participate in more than two matches per day.
(b) No student shall take part in more than six volleyball matches per week , except in tournament competition. The matches-per-week limitation does not apply to postponed contests.
(c) Any participation during a set on any match counts as participation in that match.
(3) A school that violates the team match limitation may be disqualified from district and state tournament competition. When a Nebraska team plays in an out-of-state tournament, the Nebraska school may play (four) FIVE matches per day if that is the rule that governs play in that state.
(4) A school that violates the player limitations shall be assessed a point or side out and the player shall be removed from the match. The match shall then continue.

The section/paragraph/sentence that needs to be added/deleted/changed would read as follows:
The following school and student limitations apply:
(1) In other than tournament competition, three schools playing two contests or playing two other schools in one session (night), counts as only one match.
(2) No student shall take part in more than four volleyball matches per day in tournament competition. When a Nebraska team plays in an out-of-state tournament, the Nebraska school may play five matches in one day if that is the rule of the governing body of that state.
(a) In other than tournament competition, no student may participate in more than two matches per day.
(b) No student shall take part in more than six volleyball matches per week , except in tournament competition. The matches-per-week limitation does not apply to postponed contests.
(c) Any participation during a set on any match counts as participation in that match.
(3) A school that violates the team match limitation may be disqualified from district and state tournament competition. When a Nebraska team plays in an out-of-state tournament, the Nebraska school may play five matches per day if that is the rule that governs play in that state.
(4) A school that violates the player limitations shall be assessed a point or side out and the player shall be removed from the match. The match shall then continue.

Cost Analysis of Proposal:
None.
Rationale for the proposed change:
The surrounding states have the following one-day match limitations:
Colorado: no single day limit (limits on total contests)
Kansas: single day limit of six matches
Iowa: single day limit of six matches
South Dakota: no single day limit (tournament and contest limits for
season)
Wyoming: single day limit of five matches

Rule 3.11.11.3 Section 2 does allow Nebraska schools to play four matches in a single day when playing out-of-state, however since no surrounding state has a four match limit this rule is essentially ineffective and meaningless.
