Teams play three games of 21 points each. Teams must win by 2 points, up to a maximum score of 25 (the 25th point wins the game regardless of whether there is a 2 point differential). The team who wins two out of the three games is the winner of the match. If a team wins two games in a row or if games finish earlier than their scheduled time block, the teams are encourage to continue to play for fun!

- Depending on the amount of time, that the 3rd game will be played to 15 points. Referee will make this announcement at the start of the third game.

- Teams switch sides after each game.

- First serve alternates between games regardless of who wins.

Rotations

- After each successful side out, players rotate one position clockwise.

- Bench subs may be positioned in any location around the court and are considered a rotational position. All players will rotate into the bench positions just as they would any other position on the court.

- If only one female is present, the female does not enter the sub position but rather rotates directly to the server position with the male subs then waiting an additional rotate before re-entering.

- During a single match, players should remain in a fixed order with the exceptions of player injury or female sub rotation rules described above.

- Teams may change rotational positions at the start of a new game.

Gameplay

- The ball may touch any part of the body to be returned (hand, arm, head, shoulder, feet, knee, etc)

- Blocks at the net do not count as a hit. For example, a ball is blocked at the net by player A. The ball glances off his arm to another player on his team. His team still has 3 attempts to return the ball (the block did not count as their first hit). Additionally, player A may touch the ball twice in a row, as his block did not count as the first hit of the series.

- Balls that touch the ceiling on an indoor court are playable off the ceiling IF they remain on the same side of the net. If the ball hits the ceiling and crosses the net it will be considered a SIDE OUT
