Ghost Rule:

We will be trying a ghost rule this year in Volleyfest 2010. You will be allowed to play with only 5 players (MUST be three guys, two girls).  There will be an empty spot on the court that will rotate around (so you will have two in the front row during some rotations) and when the "ghost" is supposed to serve, you will lose that point.  The serve will then go back to the other team.               

• All games must start and end on time.

◦Game Start Times -If a team is waiting for a player (only have four players) and is not able to start their game on time; they must forfeit the first game.   They will forfeit the 2^nd game if the player is not ready to play by 15 minutes past game start time. They will forfeit the 3^rd game if the player is not ready to play by 30 minutes past the game start time.

◦1-hour time limit (including warm-up): warm-up begins 10 minutes before the hour, games begin on the hour and end after 50 minutes of play, play all 3 games if possible
