RULES
1.) Each game is played to 15 points. The leading team must win by 2 points.
2.) We will play the best 2 out of 3 games or within a one-hour time limit.
3.) The serving side can only score points.
4.) Each team must consist of 7-10 players with at least one women for every 2 men.
5.) Rotation is clockwise. Rotations will occur after each sideout. A sideout occurs when the team without possession of the ball gains possession.
6.) Immediately following a rotation, the player in the right back position will serve the ball.
7.) If the serve touches the net it is a service fault and results in a side out.
8.) Once served, the ball may only be touched 3 times per side. A player may never touch it twice in succession unless one touch is a block.
9.) It is illegal to hold or throw the ball during play. However, tips are allowed. The referees will distinguish these.
10.) Any ball landing on the edge of the sand volleyball court is considered “in.”
11.) It is illegal to touch the net, reach over the net, or let body parts under the net.
12.) The point system for post tournament play:
4 = win
2 = loss
1 = forfeit
0 = no show
