  1. A team must have at least 4 players to start a game.
  2. At least 2 of the team players on the court must be of the opposite sex (male or female). If you have only one member of the opposite sex, you must play with one less player (i.e. 4:1).
  3. All players' waivers and fees must be up to date and teams must be paid in full before their second game.
  4. Teams may use players from another team if they do not have enough players, if their opponents agree.
  5. Games are to 25 points, in rally point format.
  6. Games must be won by 2 points - no point cap is in affect, except as follows.
  7. At 20 minutes past the hour, a 'soft-cap' will be in place. At this point, the game will be won when one of the teams reaches a score equal to the current leading team's score, plus 5 points. For instance, if the score is 13 to 7 at 20 minutes past the hour, then the first team to reach 18 points will be declared the winner.
  8. At 27 minutes past the hour, whichever team is leading wins the match.
  9. If the ball touches the net during the serve but still makes it over the net, it is still in play.
