Rules?

At The Rumble we play "Old School Rules!"  That means we play "Side-out" scoring; No Let-serves; Block doesn't count as a hit; and the original Large court size.  Rules page

No double-contacts! Old school rules also means clean ball contacts. When playing the ball with two open hands (Hand-setting, return of serve, etc.), contacts must be quick and simultaneous. Exception for defending against a hard-driven hit. Only Pro level players are allowed to open hand receive a first ball over the net.
