you've lost me there!

You want to play RPS until one team reaches game point (in FIVB, say you
have 24:18). Then you want to switch to SOS for BOTH teams, right? [If
you switch for one team only, that makes the game unfair IMHO.]

Now, if you keep just "trading sideouts", say, each team serves 6 times
and all 12 sideouts are good, the new score would still be 24:18. Hence
you cannot catch up that way ...
