  • All Saskatchewan teams will be also competing for the Provincial Championship title ... the top three SK placed teams will also receive a provincial trophy, and Gold, Silver and Bronze provincial medals (since the Canada Day provincials had to be cancelled due to excessive rainfall and wet grounds, the event has now been combined with the 2014 Canadian Open).

MAIN INTERNATIONAL RULE CHANGES TO BE AWARE OF:

At the 2013 ISTAF Congress, a few changes in the International Rules governing Sepak Takraw were made. The 2014 Canadian Open will be governed by the newly changed rules, mainly as follows:

1. Went back to "The best of 3 sets wins the match", instead of the best of 5 sets (found that the matches were taking too long);                            
2. Who wins a set is decided by the first regu (team) to reach 21 points, but must win by 2 points up to a ceiling of 25 points - so if score is 24-24, next point wins;                            
3. If a 'Tiebreak Set' is required after each opposing regu wins one set each, who wins the the Tiebreak Set is also decided by the first regu (team) to reach 21 points (rather than only 15 points as it was before), but must win by 2 points up to a ceiling of 25 points - so if score is 24-24, next point wins, just like the first two sets;                            
4. Serving the ball remain the same, with each regu taking turns serving 3 consecutive serves at a time, regardless of who wins the rally - with a point continuing to be awarded on every rally, same as before;                            
5. Two Substitutions are allowed per regu per set, also the same as before;
