- Elimination occurs two ways:
-
- Hitting an opposing player below the shoulders with a live thrown ball
- Catching a live ball thrown by an opponent before it touches the ground
- The boundary lines are those of a Volleyball court. Players may only leave the confines of the court if they have been eliminated or to retrieve stray balls. Retrieval must be done through the team’s end-line, and a player must return through the end-line. Three balls are placed on either side of the center. During the RUSH, teams are only allowed to grab the three balls placed on their side of the center.
- Balls must be thrown from behind the attack line.
- Each team is allowed one timeout per game, in which they may substitute players into the game. Players eliminated are not eligible for re-entry.
- If a winning or tied team controls all six balls they must throw at least one within 5 seconds to avoid being called for stalling.
- Matches will run for 20 minutes. Individual games will last no longer than 4 minutes. The team with the most games won is the winner of the match. If all players have not been eliminated in a game after 4 minutes, the team with the most players left will be declared the winner of the game. Tied matches will go to sudden death—a 2-minute 3-on-3 game.
- Teams must have at least 4 players to start a match.
- Team members may be added until the playoffs begin. See Ryan Ehrie for more information.
- Regular season will be a round-robin format. The top four teams will advance to the playoffs, which will be single-elimination.
- All decisions by the court official will be final.
