Match Rules

Games are played outdoors at the Plage Celtique on seven courts.

1. Each game is scheduled to last a maximum of 45 minutes. We will play 2 sets of 21 points each. If a game exceeds the time limit, we will conclude the match at the current score, with the team leading the second set declared the winner of this set. In the event of a tie, a final point will be played.
2. The game will be played with 4 players on each team, and substitutions are allowed at any time except when the ball is in play. It’s a coed tournament : 1 man and 1 woman must be on the field at all time.
3. The referee will not enforce advanced beach volleyball rules such as carries, doubles, or counting a defensive block as the first touch. However, for safety reasons, players are not permitted to cross into the opposing team’s area or touch the net. We prioritize player safety to prevent injuries.
4. A server may only score a maximum of 5 consecutive points. Upon serving the 6th point, a rotation will be enforced by the referee to promote fair play and encourage scoring during active play.
5. It is important to respect the decisions made by the referee, and any arguing or disputes will not be tolerated. The player or team may face disqualification or a deduction of points.
6. If a ball from another court enters your playing area, play will be stopped and the point will be redone.
7. Standings will be based on the number of sets won. All teams will advance to the playoffs, which will take place after lunch.
8. The most important rule is to have fun and maintain a positive attitude. Remember to bring your biggest smile and enjoy the game !!!
