## 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.
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.
