Rated Players/Teams

Platinum Sports SA utilizes a panel of referees, players, and directors to help categorize high level players or to ensure teams are in the appropriate division. The goal is to help ensure a fair makeup of teams in the respective divisions and for the safety of the players. Determination of a categorized player or team is up to the panel’s discretion and is based on skill level such as attack, serve, pass, and setting skills.

REALIZE that NOT all players who are at an advanced or bubble level are listed here, we may not know they are advanced until we see them play or because of other factors, but we will try our best to add prior to a season start date. Teams and players are expected to follow the restrictions (regardless if the player is listed here or not) or will be moved to the appropriate division and/or may be penalized points or forfeitures. 

CHANGES may be made at any time. It is the responsibility of the team, captain, and players to monitor these listings for updates and additions/deletions.
