How do THREE-WAY TIES get broken in volleyball?

Depends on the district. Typically goes by sets Won and Lost between the teams in the 3-way tie.

alright cool...

so if team A wins a match 3-0 against team B and loses 2-3 against team C
team B wins over team C 3-0

then they would go +/- right?
so...
team A (+3 - 1 = +2)
team B (-3 + 3 = 0)
team C (+1 - 3 = - 2)

then team A would get #1 and team B is #2 because of head-to-head over team C??

Im just guessing you are talking about Central Cass, Oak Grove, and FSHP?

okay yes I am...but its just not normal to see a three-way tie so I was just wondering how you go about determining that...I think I know how it will work now.

I'm not sure if it would go head to head after the first team is out or not. Either way, after watching the scores I'm thinking C. Cass will be 1, O. Grove 2, and FSHP 3. I'd say it's important because the 3 seed will have to match up with kindred--and they're either way up or way down...but could be a scary 6 seed.

Yeah I was wondering about that too but I did hear somwhere that Central Cass will either be 1 or 2 and wont go to 3, but thats just what i heard im not sure if its fact.

This is what it will probably look like come district time:
#1 - CC #8 - MV
#4 - NC #5 - Enderlin
#2 - OG #7 - Richland
#3 - FSHP #6 - Kindred

...and that is exactly how three way ties work and how the District 2 tourney looks starting on Thursday October 29th in Kindred
