Please refer to the Intramural Handbook for general rules/guidelines.

1. Teams shall compete with no more than six (6) players on the court. A minimum of four (4) players must be present to start an official game. If less than four players are present, the game will be declared a forfeit.


2. Official Score: Each team will provide one individual to aid the official as the scorekeeper. When an extra individual is not available each team will play a court player "short". Spectators can keep score in any instance. (Example: If Team A has 6 players and Team B has 5 players each team will “lose” 1 player off the court to keep score if a spectator is not available to keep score. Team A will have 5 players on the court and Team B will have 4 players participating on the court.)


3. Rally Scoring will be used. If a team fails to serve properly, return the ball, or commits any other fault, the opponent wins the rally and scores a point. In winning the rally:
   • If the serving team wins the rally, it scores a point and continues to serve.
   • If the receiving team wins the rally, it scores a point and gains the right to serve.


4. To Win a Game
   • A team scoring 21 points in a game with at least a two-point advantage wins that game.
   • If the score is 20-20, play continues until a two-point advantage is reached (22-20, 23-21) or until a team scores 23 points with a one-point advantage (23-22). A cap will be placed on games one through four of 23 points.


5. To Win A Match
   • An intramural match consists of the best 3 out of 5 games with a 55 minute time limit.
   • A deciding fifth game is won by the team which first scores 15 points with a minimum lead of 2 points. The cap for a fifth game will 17 points.
   
   
   • Whichever team is ahead in the fifth game, at the end of the time limit, will be declared the winner of the match. If a tie exists, the winner of the match will be the team to gain a 2 point advantage or until the 17 point limit is reached.
   
   
   • Completed games will take precedence over games in progress when the time limit expires. An uncompleted game will not count as a victory or loss.
   
   
   • Playoff games will be played to completion with no time limit and no point cap imposed.


6. Each team is entitled to two timeouts per game. A timeout shall last for 30 seconds.


7. Teams may use free substitution as long as a player does not play more than 3 out of 6 consecutive team rotations in either the front row or the back row. He/she must follow the normal rotation pattern in the line-up, cannot advance rotations beyond the normal pattern, and can only play one position in the lineup.


8. The interval between games lasts two minutes during which the change of courts is made.


9. Positioning on the court is as follows:
   • At the moment the ball is contacted by the server, each team must be completely within its own court (except server) in two rows of three players. These rows may be staggered.
   • Once the ball is served, the players may move to any position on their playing area.


10. When the receiving team has gained the right to serve, its players must rotate one position clockwise (player in position 2 rotates to position 1 to serve, player in 1 rotates to 6, etc.).


11. The let serve will be used. A serve contacting and crossing the net shall remain in play provided the contact occurs entirely within the net antennas.


12. Games are started with the service by the team that did not serve first in the previous game.


13. After the first service in a game, the player to serve is determined as follows:
    • When the serving team wins the rally, the player who served before, serves again.
    • When the receiving team wins the rally, it gains the right to serve and rotates. The player who moves from the right front-row position to the right back-row position will serve.


14. The ball is "in" when it touches the floor of the playing court including the boundary lines. The ball is "out" when part of the ball:
    • contacts the floor completely outside the boundary lines.
    • contacts an object outside the court, the ceiling or a person out of play (NOTE: When, in the judgment of the official, the ball would have remained in play had the vertical backboard not been over the playable area, a replay is granted.).
    • contacts an antenna, rope, post or the net itself outside an antenna/side band.
    • crosses the vertical plane of the net, partly or totally outside the crossing space.


15. Each team is entitled to a max of 3 hits (in addition to blocks), to return the ball to the opponents.


16. A player may not contact the ball with two separate and consecutive motions.


17. A player is permitted to pass hand(s) beyond the net after a hit, provided the ball is contacted while within his/her own playing space or within the plane of the net.


18. A player may not reach or penetrate into the opponent's space under the net.


19. It is a fault to touch any part of the net or antennas. Incidental contact with hair is not a fault.


20. When the ball is driven into the net and causes it to touch an opponent, no fault is committed.


21. A block contact is not counted as a team hit. After a block contact, a team is entitled to three hits to return the ball to the opponents.


22. Coed volleyball will be played with regular volleyball rules with the following exceptions.
    • Each team shall consist of 3 men and 3 women. Teams will be allowed to start with 4 players (2 females - 2 males or 3 females - 1 male). If 5 members are used, 3 of the team members must be female. The serving order and positions on the court shall be alternated by sex.
    • Men may only come up from the back row to block; they may not attack-hit.
