or when all players are ready to resume play, whichever occurs first unless another time-out is called by either side. 27. Any player (server or partner) may call a time-out once the score has been called but not after the service motion has begun. 28. Medals will be awarded based on age division, female and male categories and, double teams. 29. Medals will be awarded to the first, second, and third place finishers, a ribbon will be awarded to the 4th place finisher. Scoring 1. Points are scored only by the serving team. 2. Double elimination played to 11 best two out of three. 3. When the serving team’s score is even (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) the player who was the first server in the game for that team will be in the right-side court when serving or receiving; when odd (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) that player will be in the left-side court when serving or receiving. When the ball is served, the receiving team must let it bounce before returning, and then the serving team must let it bounce before returning, thus two bounces. 2. After the ball has bounced once in each team’s court, both teams may either volley the ball (hit the ball before it bounces) or play it off a bounce (ground stroke). 3. The double bounce rule eliminates the serve and volley advantage and extends rallies. Double-Bounce Rule 1. The non-volley zone is the court area within 7 feet on both sides of the net. 2. Volleying is prohibited within the non-volley zone. This rule prevents players from executing smashes from a position within the zone. 3. It is a fault if, when volleying a ball, the player steps on the non-volley zone, including the line and/or when the player’s momentum causes them or anything they are wearing or carrying to touch the non-volley zone including the associated lines. 4. It is a fault if, after volleying, a player is carried by momentum into or touches the non-volley zone, even if the volleyed ball is declared dead Non-Volley Zone 1.
