In Rocball’s system of play a team can’t win a game in a losing set even if they outscored their opponents in game points. A team also can’t win a game by winning the final set with the lowest points scored.
The G-Sparks scored the most points and needed one overtime set to win. Lay Low won the third set with the lowest points and needed two overtime sets.
An overtime set is won through six points or a goal — whichever comes first.
Lay Low ‘skunked’ the G-Sparks in the first OT set, 6-0. By the second OT set, the G-Sparks led with a two-point serve and but lost when Lay Low’s Nakashima Nakashima scored a goal.
