Penticton Coed 6 Vball - Wednesday- Winter 2023 Rules

Coed 6’s RULES AND GUIDELINES

Match Format

  1. Teams must have a minimum of 2 players of each gender on the court to play a full line up (a full starting lineup consists of 6 players (either 3/3 or 2/4). 
    • If a team only has 1 member of either gender, they can play with 3-5 people on the court with a maximum of 4 members of the opposite gender (either 1/4, 1/3 or 1/2).
    • The minimum number of players with 1 of either gender is 3 meaning the format would be 2/1.
    • If a team has 3 or more players but 0 of a gender they forfeit the match.
    • If a team has less than 3 players,  it defaults the match.
    • Teams have 10 minutes to have the minimuim 3 on the court or they default the match. If a team doesn’t start play within 10 minutes but does have players they automatically lose the first game of the match.

      NOTE: if a team consistently attends with less than 6 players their status in the league will be reviewed and they could be asked to leave the league and/or forfeit all games. We are a coed 6 league which means we expect all teams to do their best to arrive with 6 eligible players.
