  • Don't touch the NET!

    16.3 CONTACT WITH THE NET

    ● It is forbidden to touch any part of the net or the antennae.

    ● Once the player has hit the ball, he/she may touch the posts, ropes or any other object outside the total length of the net provided that this action does not interfere with play.

    ● When the ball is driven into the net, which causes it to touch an opponent, no fault is committed.

    ● Incidental contact of hair is not a fault.

  • How to rule a "Joust"?

    If there are simultaneous contacts by the two opponents over the net and the ball remains in play, the team receiving the ball is entitled to another three hits. If the ball goes “out,” it is deemed the fault of the team on the opposite side of where the ball went out and the team on the side the ball went out is awarded the point. If simultaneous contacts by the two opponents over the net lead to a "held ball", it is NOT considered a fault.
