Game Rules:
-Coin toss winner of the coin toss choose either – to select to serve or receive OR the side of the court on which to start the game.
-Rotation order specified by the starting lineup must be maintained throughout the game.
-Position switch should be done after the serve from opposite site- when switching between hitters/MB.
-Substitution is only allowed at the specified position.
-State of play/game should not be halted unless a referee blows a whistle (other team gets a point if the game is halted). Only three positions at the front are allowed to jump/hit at the net. No players from the back court can come to the net and hit the ball at any time.
-If two players contact the ball simultaneously, it will be counted as just a single touch so the team can still touch the ball twice before sending it over to the other side.
-No reach over is allowed from the other side (regardless of the touch -1 or 2 or 3). However, blocking is allowed at any moment.
-Players may partially or completely cross the center line below the net or outside the poles, either before, during or after a legal play of the ball, provided that this does not interfere with the opponent's play.
-Maximum 4 timeouts are allowed (excluding injuries).
-Other general volleyball rules are applied, and the referee will have the final say.
