Rules

• A match will consist of the best two of three games to 15 points. The deciding game will
  be played using rally scoring.
   
• A team must be serving to score points during rally scoring, where a point is awarded on
  every play.
   
• A team must consist of at least four players, but no more than six, to begin the match.
   
• A team must rotate in a clockwise direction upon gaining the side out. Failure to rotate or
  serving out of rotation will result in loss of serve.
   
• The server must put the ball in play from behind the end line and within the two
  sidelines.
   
• A ball that passes outside the antennae is out.
   
• The ceiling:
       If Team A hits the ball over the net, but the ball hits the ceiling,
       Team B wins the rally.
   
• If Team A hits the ceiling and the ball stays on their side, the ball is live
  (assuming Team A has a contact left).
   
• During play each team is allowed three contacts to return the ball. A block is not
  considered a contact. Back row players are not allowed to block.
   
• Front row players may attack the ball as long as the ball is on their side of the court or
  has reached the plane of the net. Back row players may attack the ball below the height of the net or behind the attack line.
   
• Players may not distract or interfere with the opponents attempting to play the ball.
   
• The ball may be played with any part of the body. A double contact is allowed on the
  first team contact as long as there is only one attempt to play the ball.
   
• Players may not touch the net at any time.
   
• Players may substitute in by one of two ways:
   
• By rotating in at the point of serve. The front left player rotates out and the new
  player will serve. A player will rotate out each time.
   
• Substituting one player for another at any time during the game.
  Each team has one time out per game.
