Games are to begin on time.
Any team that is not on the court and ready to play (with a minimum of 4 players – including 1 female) after the first 15 minutes loses the first game. Teams continue to forfeit a game with every 15 minutes they are not on the court ready to play.
Each match consists of 3 games.
2 games to 21 pts; teams must win by 2 points – with a cap at 23.
3rd game to 15 pts; teams must win by 2 points with a cap at 17
All teams must have 1 female on the court at all times; teams with female player must play with no more than 2 players.
All members of the team must complete the Go West Athletics Waiver Form, AND must play a minimum of 40% of the season’s games in order to qualify for playoffs (any exceptions to this rule must be approved by both an office staff member and the coordinator).
Go West Athletics uses Rally Point Scoring (a point is scored with every serve).
Let serves are good: if the ball hits the net on a serve and lands in, it counts as a point for the serving team.
