—All players can block and attack at and above the net (excluding all males in the reverse division).
—The block does not count as one of your team’s three touches, or as one of your personal touches.
—Like indoors, doubling the first contact with finger action is legal, including in serve receive and when passing freeballs.
—Like the women's NCAA rule, doubling the second contact is legal as long as the double happened in a single attempt to the play the ball and the ball stays on the same side of the net.
—Setting across the net is illegal unless the ball's direction is perpendicular with the shoulder line, or unless the overset was a legitimate attempt to set a teammate, as judged by the ref.
—The attacker is not allowed to tip the ball with an open hand. The attacker is allowed to joust with an open hand as long as their contact is simultaneous with the blocker's contact.
—Blockers are allowed to redirect the ball with one or two hands.
—Any net touch during play results in a loss of point. If the ball is down before the net touch, there is no violation.
—Coming under the net is legal as long as it doesn’t interfere with another player's ability to play the ball.
