Substitutions
It is the
Players in the same league are allowed to sub for the same tier or a higher tier but may not sub for a team in a lower tier (i.e: if I play in Tier 2, I may sub for a team in Tier 1 or 2 but not Tier 3 or lower). If an opponent objects to a team using a sub from a higher tier, the opponent may submit a default win.

Determining the Winning Team
(Tie Breakers)
*New for 2020 season:
In tiered play, the winner is determined by:
- The team with the most matches won.
- The team with the most sets won.
- The team with the most points.
If all three teams have the same number of matches won at the end of the night then the point differential is between all three teams.
If two teams finished their match with a tied score, for example: 16-21, 21-16, then the teams will play an additional point. The score would then be recorded on the sheet as 17-21, 21-16 or 16-21, 21-17 depending on which team won.
Rules
All leagues follow the latest FIVB rules. Teams are expected to know the official rules and abide by them. The regulations below highlight some key FIVB rules as well as rules specific to Garneau leagues. Any discrepancies or questions can be directed to the Beach Pro who will make the final decision.
- The first contact over the net cannot be a set.
- If a player sets a ball over the net, the player’s body must be square to the direction of the set. Side sets are not allowed
. Ope n hand tips (ball redirection with your fingers/thumb) are not allowed. - A player may not touch the net with any part of the body
. - A touch on the block counts as a touch, but the player who contacted the ball on the block may sequentially play the ball again.
Coed Reverse 2s Rules
- Coed teams must consist of 1 female and 1 male.
- Men can only attack the ball above the height of the net from behind a 3-meter attack line (i.e. back row attack).
- Between the 3-meter attack line and the net, men can attack only if the ball is hit under the height of the net (attack must have an upward trajectory).
- Men are not allowed to block.
- Men are not permitted to jump serve. A re-serve can be requested in the event of a jump serve.
- Women can hit from anywhere. Jump serving and blocking are permitted.
Players Cards
Garneau Player Cards are given to league participants who are registered in a Garneau League. A Player Card allows the league participant to play on courts outside of league times (on an unbooked court or on a booked court at the invitation of the booking member). It does NOT grant booking privileges. Each team is entitled to 2 players cards – additional players or subs will have to purchase an Adult or Dual Membership or pay the drop-in fee each time they use the courts.
League participants can upgrade to an Adult or Dual Membership at a discounted price. The added benefit is that Adult or Dual members may reserve a court for 1 hour per day at no extra charge.
