There has been more than a hundred years since the initiation of volleyball, but its attraction still cannot compete with such as basketball and soccer. One of the main reasons was that the playing duration of each game is difficult to be controlled, an important factor for that is the way of counting the score. The FIVB thus changed the scoring system to rally point system from January 1999. Since then, the duration of volleyball games is indeed reducing, and the games become more tight with more highlights. Nevertheless, the change in way of counting score also causes the change of the score structure. How this change would affect the results of volleyball games is then a new topic worth studying to volleyball coaches. The present work is based on the score conditions of playoff games between man's class 1 teams in '01 Annual College Volleyball Game, to investigate the relation between the rate of winning and the score structure. It is expected to reveal the correlation between them and offer the ideas in helping future training. The outcomes of the study are as follows:Score structure: 37.88% by returning service attack hits, 29.49% due to errors by opponent, 18.66% by attack hits after defense, 9.26% from block, and 4.71 % only direct from service.Correlation between the rate of winning and the score structure: There are five factors including ”score by block”, ”score lost due to missing attack hits”, ”score by service”, ”score due to errors by opponent”, ”score by attack hits after defense” have reached an obvious level (p<0.05).A correlated equation established from original score with respect to normalized points reveals the following: In order to promote the rate of winning, it is necessary to increase the score by block, service, errors of opponent, and attack hits after defense, in the mean time, decrease the score lost due to missing attack hits.
