GAMES AND
MATCHES:
REGULATE YOUR
OWN PLAY! Matches
will consist of
three games to
21 (cap @ 25).
All three games
count
towards league
standings (i.e.,
league standings
are based on
games, not
matches). If
neither team
reaches 10
points in the
final game,(due
to time called)
that
game will not
affect their
records as long
as both teams
started on time
and did not have
to forfeit the
first game. If a
team is running
late and
must forfeit the
first game, the
opposing team
will collect the
win. Teams
should "Ro Sham
Bo" (Rock,
Paper,
Scissors) to
decide serve,
receive, or
side, the loser
picks from the
remaining two
choices for game
1, for game 2
the loser of "Ro
Sham Bo" from
the 1st game
chooses either
serve, side or
receive.
START TIME and
FORFEITS. Teams
unable to field
a full team (min
3 players) and
are not ready to
play
10 minutes after
schedule start
time will
forfeit set one.
Teams are
allowed to start
with three
players
(provided a
female player
arrives and
plays 2 of 3
sets). Upon
arrival of the
entire team,
both teams will
start the second
game. If the
opponent has not
shown after
30minutes
(accumulating 2
forfeits) the
entire match
will be
forfeited and a
'No Show' will
be given to the
offending team.
More than two
'NoShow' will
result in
removal from the
league, replaced
by a team from
the wait list,
no refund will
be given.
REFEREES:
The league will
not provide
referees. Teams
not playing will
be assigned to
officiate and
keep score.
Playing teams
are asked to
call their own
games fairly and
honestly.
So
if there's a big
discrepancy, do
everyone a favor
and just replay
the point.
Remember we're
out to play
a bunch of VB.
NO
unsportsman-like
conduct will be
accepted!
TIME-OUTS:
Each team is
allowed one (1)
time-out per
game. Time-outs
are 30 seconds.
Injury time-outs
are allowed for
as long as the
player
needs to get the
proper help.
Score
Reporting: Winning
team must report
the score to the
4v4 group chat
at the end of
each night.
(Scores not
reported by
midnight will go
as a
no-contest)
SUBSTITUTIONS
(DURING GAME):
Teams can
substitute for a
position at any
time during the
game as long as
the serving
rotation is
consistent
throughout the
game. A 4th
player arriving
late may enter
the game during
any dead ball.
SUBSTITUTIONS
(PLAYER LEVEL) Exceptional/Emergency
Subs:
Any player who
is substituting
for a team must
be of the same
level of play or
lower. If a team
is Intermediate
level, they may
not have a
competitive
level player
(Open Male level
player who have
competed in
NORCECA
competitions) as
a substitute.
Only one
substitution is
allowed per team
and subs may
only play in two
matches and are
not allowed to
play in the end
of season
tournament. If
there are any
questions on who
is allowed to
play in any
division, please
contact Coach
Rick.
ROTATIONS:
The standard for
a rotation is a
diamond, (i.e.,
a front row
player (the
setter), two
hitters (right
and left) and a
middle-back
player (server);
however, while
players must
serve in
rotation, they
are allowed to
line up in any
position or
rotation and all
players are
considered front
row and can jump
and attack.
DINKS: No
open-handed
dinks are
allowed.
UNDER THE NET:
Players may go
under the net as
long as they do
not interfere
with another
player's ability
to get a ball.
If the ball
touches you
while you are
under the net,
it is a point
for the other
team. If you
interfere with a
player on the
other side,
point for the
other team.
BLOCKS: For
Coed 4x4: A
blocking contact
is not counted
as a team
contact. The
blocking team
will have three
contacts after a
blocking
contact.
PASSES AND SETS:
PLAYERS CANNOT
"SET" THE SERVE
(i.e., the serve
must be "passed"
with a bump
(hands together
below the
waist), or with
flat hands (no
finger action)
above the waist.
Players should
call their own
sets, with
"cleanliness"
being dictated
by the night and
level of the
league
(i.e.,
lower-level
leagues should
be a venue to
learn and
practice setting
so most sets
will be okay,
within reason –
ask Coach what
goes on in your
division), while
higher-level
leagues will be
expected to have
higher-level
sets!! ALL SETS
OVER THE NET
MUST BE CLEAN
(Little to no
ball
rotation) and
must leave the
setter's body
square to the
player's feet
and shoulders
(i.e., two-man
rules, straight
forward or
back), without
being lifted,
carried or
thrown. IF THE
FIRST BALL OVER
(not including
hard driven
balls) IS
RECEIVED OPEN
HANDED IT MUST
BE
CLEAN. Balls can
be played off
any part of the
body as long as
they are not
carried or
lifted
(including
kicked).
Coed Open or
Coed Intermediate
TEAM ROSTER: Max
5 players - Must
have at least 1
female player on
roster
