AVP Championships
  • Two rule changes were tested at the AVP Championships: a "point freeze" at match point, wherein the scoring system changes from rally scoring (either team can score a point on every serve) to side-out scoring (only serving team can score a point) when either team reaches match point; "Let" serves, wherein the ball touches the net while crossing over into the opponent's court during service, are not allowed and the serve will be replayed.[17]
