LOVB Pro's inaugural season did not include a draft; however, it was announced in December 2024 that six rookies (referred to as The LOVB 6) were signed to play with one of the six teams.[4] Three other rookies have joined the league during the league since January 2025. Pittsburgh Panthers alum Rachel Fairbanks was signed by LOVB Atlanta in January.[5][6] UT Arlington Mavericks alum Paige Reagor joined LOVB Madison in February, after a brief stint at German Bundesliga team Schwarz-Weiss Erfurt.[7][8] Stanford Cardinals alum Sami Francis joined LOVB Omaha in March.[9]

Standings procedure
[edit | edit source]The ranking of teams in the LOVB regular season standings were determined as follows:[16]
- Each team will be ranked by their match win percentage (matches won divided by total matches played).
- If two teams are tied, the following tie-breakers will be applied in this order:
- Head-to-Head (H2H) win ratio
- H2H set ratio (sets won divided by sets played)
- H2H point ratio (points won divided by total points)
- Total set ratio against all opponents
- Total point ratio against all opponents
- If more than two teams are tied, the following tie-breakers will be applied:
- Win ratio, only including games played between tied teams
- Set ratio, only including games played between tied teams
- Point ratio, only including games played between tied teams
- If one team is eliminated from the multiple-team H2H tie, the tie-breaking process will revert to the top of the multiple-team H2H process, or to the top of the two-team H2H process if only two teams remain.

Austin also had a 16–3 advantage in blocks.[22] Both Austin and Omaha (respectively the 5th and 6th seeds in the Finals) reached the championship after "reverse sweep" semifinal wins, with Austin coming back from a 2-set deficit to beat top-seed LOVB Atlanta and Omaha doing the same against #2 seed LOVB Houston. Austin's reverse sweep in the semis was its second of the Finals tournament, as they also came back from 0–2 down to top #4 seed LOVB Salt Lake in the quarterfinals; Omaha defeated #3 seed LOVB Madison in 4 sets in the quarters.
