Tournament Format:

Teams will play 6 matches, 15 minutes in length, during the Round-Robin stage against each team. The top 4 teams at the conclusion of the Round-Robin stage will progress to the Finals Series.

If a set (round) concludes with less than 2 minutes remaining in the match, the referee will blow for full-time. When or if the final set hits the 15-minute mark, the team with more players on the court wins that final set. At the Round-Robin Stage, if the score is tied at the end of the match, the final result is a Draw. Teams will receive 1 competition point each.

Timed Sets: Each set (round) will be a maximum of 3 minutes. If time has elapsed in the set, the team with more players on the court will be awarded the point for the set. If both teams have an equal number of players when time has elapsed in the set, sudden death will then be played.

Sudden Death: The referee will give each team three balls and will blow the whistle to commence play. The no blocking rule will be enforced. The first team to eliminate an opposition player will be awarded the win for that particular set.

Disarm Rule: We will be trialing this rule during the tournament. If a player attempts to block a ball, and subsequently has the ball using to block knocked out of their hand, they will be called out.
