Although the professional volleyball V-League regular league is about to end, the "No. 1 regular league" that goes straight to the championship game has still not been confirmed in both the men's and women's divisions.

Unlike previous seasons, when the team to confirm the top spot in the regular league early on, this season is truly "all-time competition" as there is a possibility that the first-place team in the regular league will be confirmed only after the final match.

With two to three games left per team as of midnight on the 10th, Korean Air (22-11) and Hyundai Capital (21-13) have scored 66 points each, continuing their last-minute competition. The remaining number of games is three for Korean Air and two for Hyundai Capital.

Korean Air will meet KB Insurance (home) on the 12th, OK Savings Bank (away) on the 15th, and Hyundai Capital (home) on the 13th, respectively. A "confrontation match" is also scheduled at Hyundai Capital's home on the 19th.

If Hyundai Capital is more than three points apart from Korean Air after the Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance match on the 13th, Korean Air's top regular league will be confirmed regardless of the results of the remaining two games.

On the contrary, if Hyundai Capital is less than two points apart from Korean Air after the Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance match and fails to accumulate points in the match against OK Savings Bank on the 15th, which will be followed by Korean Air, the showdown between the two teams on the 19th will be the "top-ranked regular league match."

If the points are the same, the V-League regular league rankings will be determined in the order of multiple wins, set loss, score loss, and recent winners. Korean Air has 22 wins with three games remaining, and Hyundai Capital with two games remaining has 21 wins, respectively.

With one to three games left per team, Korea Expressway Corporation is leading the way with 66 points (23 wins and 11 losses), while Hyundai Engineering & Construction is aiming for a last-minute turnaround with 62 points (21 wins and 13 losses).

Hyundai Engineering & Construction will clash with the lowest-ranking official of the association on the 12th, GS Caltex on the 18th, and Korea Expressway Corporation will meet Heungkuk Life Insurance on the 13th and IBK Industrial Bank on the 17th.

First of all, attention is drawn to the results of Hyundai Engineering & Construction's articles of association on the 12th. If Hyundai Engineering & Construction loses the game, the top spot in the regular league of Korea Expressway Corporation will be confirmed regardless of the remaining results of the game.

On the contrary, if Hyundai Engineering & Construction wins two points at the end of the full set, the Korea Expressway Corporation can confirm the first place in the match against Heungkuk Life Insurance, which will be held the next day.

If Hyundai Engineering & Construction takes three points against Chung Kwan-jang, the Korea Expressway Corporation must beat Heungkuk Life Insurance to confirm the top spot in the regular league early on.

If the No. 1 ranking in the women's regular league is not confirmed even after the Korea Expressway Corporation-Hungkuk Life Insurance match, the No. 1 team in the regular league may be decided only after the Korea Expressway Corporation's IBK Industrial Bank match on the 17th and, in some cases, Hyundai Engineering & Construction's GS Caltex match.

In both the men's and women's divisions, the first place in the regular league will go straight to the championship game (three wins out of five), and the second and third places will play the playoffs (three wins out of three). However, if the difference in points between the third and fourth places is less than three points, the two teams will have a semi-playoff (single play).
