What action does the scorer take at the end of a deciding set on the score sheet?

At the end of a deciding set, the scorer is required to draw an hourglass through unused points on the score sheet. This action visually signifies the conclusion of the match, marking the scores that were not needed in that set. The hourglass serves as an indicator that the set had a clear outcome and helps in maintaining the accuracy of the score sheet.

This practice is important for both clarity and record-keeping, ensuring that anyone reviewing the score sheet can quickly understand which points were part of the match and which were simply not utilized. The hourglass helps prevent confusion regarding match progression and is a standard procedure in volleyball scoring.
