What’s “ACE”? It’s a volleyball game with a little twist. An ACE is when a team scores a point on their opponent without any one person on that team getting a touch on the ball. Typically when an ACE is scored, the team must exit the court and drink. But, this is a hybrid ACE event. All the fun, little less on the requirements. If you haven’t played before, pay attention.
Rules are as follows, Very minimal rules at that:
1. Drinking is only a suggestion. We are not promoting any excess drinking. Be responsible.
2. When an ACE is scored, we will NOT be chasing the ball (if the serving team recovers the ball on an ACE, they can serve as soon as someone steps on the court, normal rules). Instead, we will be playing Rock/Paper/Scissors. The team that scored the ACE has to win twice to get the ball. The team that got ACE’d has to win once to keep the ball.
3. When ACE’d, one player from each team will play 1 round of Rock Paper Scissors to see who gets possession of the ball. If you lose the Rock Paper Scissors battle, all players must exit the court. Those who choose to partake in the drinking festivities will then do so. If at any point the serving team has the ball, the opposing team has to stay off the court. If that team has a player step on the court, the serving team can serve immediately. So don’t step on the court until everyone that is choosing to drink has finished and the entire team is ready to play.
4. Teams must rotate. Back row players can attack the ball from anywhere on the court. There is no “back row” attacking rule.
5. For safety, aggressive net violations will be called. Be careful. We don’t want anyone to get hurt. Minor net contact is fine, but don’t get your whole arm caught in the net.
6. Blocking serves is LEGAL. Lifts are LEGAL. Doubles are LEGAL. Diving lift/throws are LEGAL (to keep the play alive).
7. Have fun and be safe. The main goal is to get everyone together and have a great time playing volleyball!
*buckets will be a set list to choose from*
