Notes on ST Volleyball
We intend holding the Stanton Trophy Volleyball on the evening
of Tuesday August the 20th, with Wednesday 21st as the fall back day if the
Tuesday is wet. To try to get the tournament over in one evening we intend to
play in two mini leagues of four teams.
Each team will play one match to 15 points (2 clear points, or
first to 2 clear points or 17) against the other league members
Winners of each league to go through to the final with a play
off for third/fourth place time and light permitting
The rules seem to be changing, and are different for 'beach',
'picnic', 'official' and others versions of the game. We will continue as we
have done in previous years playing a friendly version of the game. I will
mention a few of the points that have come up recently:
- Teams of 6 people max, no minimum
- Rotate on receipt of serve
- Teams may consist of any male/female combination, no minimum
requirement
- No spiking or blocking the serve
- The serve must clear the net, no second serve.
- No time outs called by the teams.
- Obvious carries, catches, throws, foot faults, or collisions
with the net should be called by the umpire. Minor infringements of these types
can be ignored as long as one team is not gaining an unfair advantage, and the
decisions are consistent for the match.
Each team shall be able to provide at least 1 umpire/linesman
for any game they are not competing in (even after they have been knocked out
please). We want to start at 5.30 sharp due to limited light and the large
number of games to be played.
