Beach 6's Rules (Michaelbrook)
Coed 6’s Beach Volleyball Rules
- Coed 6’s - a complete starting lineup consists of 6 players including a minimum of 2 women and 1 man. A team that meets this requirement but has less than 6 players may play shorthanded using a ghost spot where the missing player(s) would have been. If a team has at least 3 players but does not have at least 1 woman and 1 man, it is a forfeit- teams should just play and still have fun!!
- Regular play will consist of TWO matches consisting of a best of 3 game (21/21/15). Games are all rally point, win by 2 points, cap at 23 (Cap at 17 in the 3rd match. If time expires (signified by the whistle blowing) while teams are playing in the 3rd game, at least 1 of the teams must have at least 5 points for the game to count. If neither team has at least 5 points, then the game does not count in the match results, and the match played are reported.
. - The format for the playoffs will be as follows:
- each match will be a best-of-3 (21/21/15) win by 2. If time expires during the 3rd game, whichever team is winning at that point will win the match (no 5-point minimum required)
- if time expires during the 2nd game, then total points scored in the 2 games to that point will determine the winner of the match
