Match
The full competition, not just one set. Indoor FIVB and NCAA play is best three of five to 25 (with a 15-point fifth), win by two, no cap. Beach is best two of three to 21 and 15 in the third, also win by two. There is no clock, so your conditioning and staff management are the only brakes on length.
Example
They split the first four 2-2, then win 15-13 in the fifth at home. That is a full indoor match under current scoring rules.
