Rules of Play

USAV rules will be used with the following modifications adopted for all divisions.

• Libero Serving:
  The Libero will be allowed to serve in one rotation.  When serving, the libero would not be required to leave the playing area or be out of the set for one rally/dead ball before replacing the incoming player in the right back position.
• Jersey Rule Number
  Uniform numbers must be clearly visible, marked in a permanent manner and centered on the chest and back   Uniform numbers must be from 1 -99.   It is REQUIRED that the numbers on the uniform must be a minimum of 4" in height on the chest and a minimum of 6" in height on the back. Teams that have illegal numbers prior will forfeit the first set in each match until proper correction is made. One set of uniforms (shirt and shorts), in each color, to include the Libero uniform, will be inspected prior to the tournament at team check in.
• Substitutions
  Twelve substitutions are the maximum permitted per team per set.  Unlimited individual entries by a substitute are allowed.  Each entry must be in the same position in the line-up.  More than one substitute may enter the set in each position.
• Scoring
  A set is won by the team which first scores 25 points with a minimum lead of two points. A deciding set, if necessary is played to 15 points, with a minimum lead of two points.
• Libero
  Each team may designate one Libero per set.  The Libero cannot be either the team captain or the game captain at the same time as performing as the Libero function.  Libero replacements are unlimited.
• Playing with less than 6 players
  If a team is reduced to less than 6 healthy players, they will be allowed to continue in the competition if they wish.  The position in the line-up will remain open and a substitution will be made for the open position – ‘00’ for the #.   Teams will not be allowed to return to six players during that set.
• Officiating Assignments
  When not competing, teams may be required to provide a total of four (4) support officials: two (2) line judges, one (1) Libero Tracker and one (1) scoreboard operator.  It is the responsibility of each team to determine their officiating schedule from the Results Station or to contact the Championship Desk to determine the time and location of their officiating assignments.
