Tournament Format:
Superstar format (if you're unaware) is when you have 3 males and 3 females on each team. 1 court is set to men's height and 1 court is set to women's height. For example, on Court 1 (men's height): Team A would play Team B and the men's players play in the front row the entire set, and the women's players play in the back row the entire set. On Court 2 (women's height): Team C would play Team D and the women's players play in the front row the entire set and the men's players play in the back row the entire set. Typically (but not required) you'd have a female athlete set on the men's side so you have 3 attackers and vice versa. There is no rotation besides serving rotation so for example, if the men's setter playing on the men's net was serving, he would serve, run to the net into P2 and play there for the whole rally. When that same player was not serving, he would always start in the front row in P2. If that same male player was on the women's side, he would serve and then play in P1. If the serving player was the middle, same idea but he'd run to play P3 upfront and in the back row play P5. The matches are 30 mins total, 15 mins per side (or first to 25 points). The next round of matches will begin 5 mins after the previous matches finish. For this tournament, teams will be responsible for keeping their own scores and officiating their own matches. Call your own faults. If a rally ends and both teams cannot agree on who should be awarded the point, re-serve the point. Every team will be guaranteed 3 RR matches. 
 
General Rules:
  1. 1 court is men's height. 1 court is women's height
  2. All RR matches are two sets to 25 points or 15 mins, whatever happens first
  3. No set should end in a tie. The team with the right to serve when the time runs out must choose whether to serve or receive. The winner of the rally wins the set.
    1. If there is a tie for points after the two sets have been completed (ie Team A won 20-15 and then Team B won 20-15, total points for each team is 35 points), then an additional point is played and similar to Rule 3, the team with the right to serve choses if they wish to serve or receive for the tie-breaking point
  4. If a rally is happening when the time runs out, play out the rally to finish. 
  5. No timeouts unless due to injury. However, time does not stop if there is an injury on one court. The team with the injured player has the option to substitute a player sitting on the sidelines for the remainder of the match if the injured player cannot return.
  6. Typically, no subs unless due to injury but this tournament we are allowing subs with a few teams.
  7. A team designated to 'referee' the match must provide 2 scorekeepers and 4 line persons (split between the two courts). Playing teams are to officiate their own matches. If a play cannot be agreed upon by both sides, the point will be re-played. This will not be required this tournament as mentioned above​
  8. Warm up - max 2 mins before the first 15 min match. Zero warm up before the second 15 min match.
  9. If a team is not ready to play 5 mins after the start time, they forfeit that set 25-0. If the team is not ready to start 10 mins after the start time, they forfeit both sets 25-0, 25-0.
  10. Male players cannot play in the front row on the women's net (ie block) or jump and attack the ball over the net. Female players can attack from the back row on the men's net.
  11. Male players cannot jump serve on a women's net. Female players can jump serve.
  12. There are no positional faults. In other words, players may be in any position on the court during serve receive.
