Which signal indicates the end of a set or match?

• A. End set/match
• B. Touch by the left side
• C. Backrow attack signal
• D. Service fault

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is how officials clearly communicate game status with a dedicated signal. The end-of-set-or-match signal is used to show that the current set (or the entire match) is finished, so play stops and the next steps—like resetting for the next set or confirming the match result—can begin. This signal is specific to marking completion, unlike signals for a ball touch, a backrow attack call, or a service fault, which describe events that occur during play rather than the end of play. Knowing this signal helps players, coaches, and scorekeepers recognize exactly when the set or match has concluded and when to prepare for substitutions between sets or the match conclusion.
