Rally Scoring: Each rally resulting in a point, regardless of which team served.
Games will be played on a timer to ensure movement through the tournament.
Service: Players serve from behind the end line. (Out of bounds line at the back of the court.)
Rotations: Server rotates after each point is scored.
Players don't have to rotate positions, only the server changes.
Foot Faults: Emphasis on proper serving technique, avoiding stepping over the service line.
Out-of-Bounds: A ball landing outside the boundary lines is out.
Touches: Each team is allowed a maximum of three consecutive touches to return the ball over the net.
Double Hit: Each player is only allowed to touch the ball one time in consecutive touches excluding a block.
Double Hits: A player is not allowed to hit the ball twice consecutively, except for a block.
Carry or Lift: Emphasis on clean hits, discouraging carrying or lifting the ball.
Blocking: Blocking is allowed but is often optional for beginners.
Let Serves: In a more relaxed setting, let serves (serves that hit the net but still go over) may be allowed.
