Games MUST be played with 6 players on the court (min of 2 males & 2 females). If a team does not meet these minimum requirement five minutes after the official match start, they will default the first game by a score of 25-0.  If the minimum requirement is not met fifteen minutes after the match begins, then they will default the entire match.  After 3 defaults, teams will be ineligible from further competition.  The opposing team has the option of waiving the default and playing the match.  This determination must be made prior to the start of play.

Matches are 60 minutes in length. This includes warm up time. If you choose to warm up for 15 minutes or 5 minutes, you still only have a total of 60 minutes on court. The team who wins the most games in that time, wins the match. All games are played to 25 points with rally point scoring (a point is scored on every serve) and must be won by 2 points. All games are capped at 27 points. The game being played when the whistle blows counts as a win for the team in the lead during that game. A minimum of 15 points between the two teams must be reached for the game to be official (e.g. 12-3, 6-9).  If at the end of the 60 minutes the two teams are tied in games won, then total points will determine the winner.  If the total points are even, then one rally point will be played to determine the winner of the match.In the event a rally point cannot be played then teams tied in games and total points will be decided by full game wins (wins to 25).One additional game win will be awarded in the standings (3-2) in this situation and in point differential wins.

There are no referees, so teams are required to call their own violations, and are expected to be honest and foster a high level of sportsmanship at all times.  If there is a dispute, please re-serve the point.

Players may play the ball off any part of their body.  The ball may contact the feet, but players ARE NOT ALLOWED TO KICK AT THE BALL.

A player may not block a serve.

The serve is allowed to contact the net.  IE. a serve contacting the top of the net and goes over the net, it is still in play.

A player is allowed to volley a serve, and are allowed to volley any ball over the net.  When volleying, you do not have to be square to the path of the ball.

Open hand tips and directs are allowed.

If a player blocking touches the ball on the block, it is not counted as the first touch. The blocker may play the ball off his/her own block.  These two contacts are counted as one touch.

Players may not touch the net at any time during play.
