The intent is to move start and move the games as quickly as possible, and will be the responsibility of the referee to begin each game on time. The teams themselves are responsible to ensure that they have an adequate warm-up in the time allotted.

The time will be set according to the referee’s own timepiece, and not necessarily to the clocks on the gym walls. Only 1 timeout per game, none in game 5.

The fifth game in each match shall be to 15 points, subject to a cap of 15, all other games are a cap of 25 and subject to not exceeding the allotted time (see above)(score at the end of the allotted time tie is OK) if game not played it will result in a tie.

Playoff positioning in the event of a tie will be determined first on the basis of a head to head games won/lost between the teams in question, and secondly by a total points for and total points against differential for all games in the season.

Defaulted games will be awarded as 25-0 victories for non-defaulting team. In the event both teams default, both teams will be awarded losses and no points awarded for either scored or against.

We will continue to use the libero position, incidental net contact and let serves.

A maximum twelve substitutions per game.

Players must play at least in 50 percent of regular season matches to be eligible to play in the playoffs. All players listed must play a game unless injured.

A replacement player may play only if team is short and he may only play 5 matches maximum in a season.

Players must wear their “comparable” team uniform, otherwise subject to a two points  max. per player per game.  A player can only be  penalized *2 points once for the entrire match/night (subjective to co-coordinator and /or referrers discretion) !

Five players are needed to begin a match(suited and ready for play),teams can only finish games with 5 players (4 players is a default), and the missing position will be played as a “ghost”. That is, the serve is defaulted at the time the missing player is to serve and if the missing players position rotates to the front row, only two players are considered as front row players.

A total of twelve substitutions per game
