FIVB/USAV rules apply except for the following
items:
(note - a rule book will be available at the courts for people to
look at)
All leagues:
-
games will be presided over by a single
referee so no separate official scorekeeping will be
done (therefore there are no special equipment rules, i.e. no
special jerseys or numbers on jerseys)
-
3 games per night - 27 point cap in all games
-
unlimited substitutions are allowed, no rules
on who can be subs
-
no libero players
Co-ed:
-
cannot have more men than women on the court
except when a team unexpectedly ends up with uneven numbers;
then, if the opposing team captain approves, this rule
will be waived. In this situation the team captain must write
an explanation on the back of the referee’s score sheet
before play starts explaining what they know about why the
person(s) is missing
Note: regular USAV co-ed rules require 6
players, with alternating male/female players. There
is no allowance for less than 6 players. Because we are
not in strict USAV competition though, we are trying to
accommodate for some unexpected situations in our league
without penalizing players. We are trying to allow for less
than 6 and still trying to have the teams respect the USAV and
league rules. If teams try to take advantage of this league
allowance then we can go back to strict rules and teams will
forfeit games if they do not have 3 males and 3 females
available to play or we can use the "ghost" rule.
-
we have dropped the female hit rule.
4’s:
-
no playing the ball into the opponents court with an overhand pass. We feel
this is frequently too difficult to call if it's perpendicular
to the shoulders or not so we are not allowing it at all.
-
we will play the
indoor rule instead of the outdoor 4’s rule about touching the
opponents court (beyond the center line); no part of the body can
touch the opponents court except a foot or hand as long as some part
of the penetrating foot or hand remains either in contact with or
directly above the center line.
