General Rules
• Each game will be played to 21 points with a cap at 25 points.
• Playoff finals will be best two out of three with third game to 15 points.
• Each team has one timeout per game that they may choose to use (thirty seconds in length).
• Let serves (serves that contact the net and then cross to the receiving side) count as legal serves
• A double contact by the same player while making one attempt to play the ball is allowed on the first contact on a side. This applies each time the ball crosses the net to the other side
• A block does not count as one of a team’s three contacts.
• A player may not block a serve or attack a serve above the plane of the net.
• No player may touch the net during a play, unless the ball or an opposing player causes the contact with the net. Player contact with the net in a manner not directly relating to or affecting the course of play is NOT a violation.
• Players may reach over the net to block any attack or attempt to play the ball over the net. Other contacts can be played only once they cross into the plane of the net.
• If games are being played on adjacent courts, players may not cross into another court. If a player crosses into an adjacent court either before, during, or after playing a ball, he or she will be called out of bounds with the point awarded to the other team.
• Subbing must be rotated at the serve.
Specific Rules for Coed 4’s
Coed 4’s/Rev-Coed – This format plays two games against each team. One game on a female net and one game on a mens net. The mens net has the standard fours format. The women's net requires that men can not attack past the ten foot line and the men can not block. There are no restrictions for women on the women's net.
All teams that make the playoffs will be seeded based on the following criteria:
1) Game record is used to determine place in standings and will be used to determine playoff seeding.
2) If two teams are tied in game record, overall match point totals will be used. If these points are tied, the head to head total results will be used.
Note: The open hand tipping probably causes the most disagreement on the courts. Open hand tipping involves using the entire hand to redirect the ball’s direction.
