Season standing procedure

Many matches were canceled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan and the number of completed matches varied from team to team so the season standing procedure was changed from "number of matches won" to win rate percentage.^[14]

Tie breakers are as follows:

• If two or more teams have the same winning percentage, the team with the highest set rate will be ranked higher.
• If the set rate is also the same, the team with the highest scoring rate will be ranked higher.
• If the score rate is also the same, the teams are calculated and the top ranks are decided in the order of win rate, set rate, and score rate.
