Rules conference '08

As the regional games come together at big tournaments this summer, some of the subtle and gross differences in styles of play will cause some friction. Lets hear from those who've played away from their own courts and have examples, questions, and solutions to offer up for discussion.

Rules for MWBPC IV

| |
  • Games will last twelve minutes, or until one team has 5 points, whichever comes first.  From the semi-finals onwards, games go to 5 points regardless of time
  • Foot down
    • Players must not touch the ground, or “foot-down”. Each time a player goes
      foot-down, that player is out of play and may not play the ball until touch the sideline at center court. Then they may return to play.
    • No kicking the ball, but you may block the ball with any part of your body. Kicking the ball (adding momentum to ball with foot) counts as footdown. Blocking the ball with foot does not.
