Again this season, matches will be timed, with one time out when teams change ends at the midway point of the game. Normal FIVB rules (inc. substitutions) are followed, except that players are allowed ONE foot on (but not over) the service line. The foot has to be touching the line, the 'shadow' does not count. When the time is up according to the big digital wall clock, finish playing the point if a rally is in progress. If at the end of the game time the scores are level, then ONE more point will be played to decide the winner.

The exact schedules for the tournaments will be decided in the week before each tournament, depending on entries. If your team 'wins' overall on the Tournament day then 10 points are gained towards the overall league for the season. If you finish 2nd, then you gain 9pts and so on. Over the entire season the FIVE best scores of each team will go towards their overall season series score. This will be the same in the Men's and Women's leagues.
