EDITION: 20192020 RELEASED ON: 027/075/202019 Welcome to the CEV Volleyball Competitions Regulations. This is the sole document regulating all CEV Volleyball com?petitions ran in Europe. All contained contents have been pulled together based on the last released version of the competition specific Official Regulations, and the implementation of all other Board of Administration decisions. The aim is that this document forms the foundations of our Volleyball competition delivery, outlining all requirements of the participating teams and organisers, whilst also providing clear direction and the detailed requirements to those responsible for any match or tournament. The structure of this document is such that every core element (something relating to all competitions) are contained together, while there are individual competition specific Chapters in Section 9 for each separate competition. This document is interlinked to avoid any unnecessary duplication so we therefore encourage you to read it in its entirety to gain the full picture of what is required. The search function in the PDF viewer or e- book can also be a useful tool for users. This set of regulations will only be updated following Board of Administration approvals, and changes will only come into force from the start of the next edition of the relevant competition.
