- Volleyball Rules:
- Any volleyball rules dispute will be settled by Konrad.
- Standard FIVB volleyball rules apply. The only
exceptions are listed below:
- A ball striking the ceiling or some fixed piece of infrastructure attached to the ceiling directly above the court is still considered 'in play' as long as it does not cross the plane of the net after this event or between the last contact with a player and this contact with the ceiling.
- If any team captain requests a no-kicking rule, then it is to be enforced by both teams.
- In general, games are likely to be played according to 'recreational rules' which tend to relax certain volleyball laws such as 'double touch' or 'catch and throw' rules. If this is agreed between team captains then the league organisers will not enforce a higher level of volleyball rules rigour.
- Certain rules are non-negotiable:
- All players must wear court shoes appropriate to volleyball.
- No player may interfere with an opposition player through/under/over/around the net.
- Volleyball rules of net touch and penetration will be strictly enforced. A player who offends on these rules will be warned and if the behaviour does not improve may be removed from the game.
- A team that presents 5 or less players automatically forfeits one set every ten minutes after official game start time.
- Code of Conduct:
- All players are to behave in a courteous manner.
- Volleyball can be a dangerous game, so be mindful of others around you as well as stray balls. Be careful to adequately warn others of potential injury in cases where you believe this may occur.
- All decisions regarding code of conduct violations will be made by league organisers in an appropriate manner.
- Attempting to injure a player or unwanted physical contact will mean immediate suspension from the league indefinitely.
