FSS Volleyball Rules and Regulations FSS Volleyball Rules and Regulations Teams Each team will be consisted of 6 players (3 males and 3 females) on the court at a time. Each team may have substitute players on the side lines that may be put in the game only between rounds or during a time-out or for an injured player. A minimum of 4 players may be used in the case that a team does not have enough players. In this case, there must be at least 1 female on the court and never more than 3 males. At any point in time, if teams do not have the right number of males and females to form a team, they may substitute females in place of males. However, at no point in time can a team play with all males. Eligibility All players must be at least 21 years of age in order to participate in any Frederick Social Sports event or sport. Players must be on a team roster, have completed a current registration form and signed a waiver in order to be eligible to play. Substitutions In the event that a team does not have enough players to start a game, substitutions can be made as long as both team captains have agreed and confirmed with the officials prior to the start of the game. All substitutions MUST be current FSS Volleyball members. No outside parties may join a game at any time. If at any time officials find non-members on the court, team at fault will receive an automatic forfeit. Forfeits Teams may start with a minimum of 4 players (one having to be a female). If any team does not have enough players to start the match, they will get exactly 10 minutes before a forfeit is called. Court of Play The court of play will be 60ft long by 30ft wide. The court will be divided into two equal halves. In the center of the court will be a net dividing the courts in half. Matches and Rounds Each team will play for a total of 45 minutes, divided into three 15-minute matches. During each match, the two opposing teams will play until 25 points have been scored. If any match hits the maximum of 15 minutes, it will be called and the team with the most points will be declared the winners of that match. If both teams have the same score, it will be ruled as a tie unless it is during the playoffs where there will be a 3-minute sudden death match. 2018_Volleyball Rules At the end of each match, teams will have a 3-minute break then switch sides on the court to begin play of the next match. Game Clock The game clock will be set for 3 fifteen-minute matches. The official will keep track of the time and sound a whistle at the beginning of each match. The official will notify teams when they have hit the fifteen-minute mark of each match and also at the final two-minutes of each match. Once a two-minute warning has been issued, serves must be made within 10 seconds. Equipment The ball that will be used for Frederick Social Sports will be standard size volleyball. Players may bring their own ball for play. Players must wear closed toe tennis shoes in order to participate. No open toe shoes will be permitted. The Game The object of the game is to get to be the first to score 25 in each match. Serve: To legally serve the ball, a player’s last contact with the ground before contacting the ball must be behind the back service line, anywhere along its length. Players must wait for the official’s whistle to initiate the serve. Players must contact the ball on their first attempt at serving or a side out will result. The ball is considered in play if the ball contacts the net before going over. A female must serve every other time. Rotate: Clockwise only. Calls: Officials make all the calls. All calls are final, no exceptions! Blocking: Only front row players are permitted to block. Contacting the net: A player shall not at any time contact the part of the net or its supports while ball is in play. Crossing the centerline: A player may step on the centerline, but may not completely cross the line while the ball is in play. Out of Bounds: Any ball(s) that contact the ceiling may be played as long as it is on your side and you have hits left to play the ball. If the ball lands on the line it is in bounds. Contacting the Ball: If there is more than one contact made with the ball by a side, at least one of those contacts must be made by a female. A block does not count as a contact. Players may contact the ball with any part of the body above the waistline. Each team is allowed to contact the ball three times before the ball goes over the net. Same player cannot contact the ball two times in a row. Time-out: Each team may use one time-out per game. Time-outs are to be 30 seconds long. The game clock will stop during timeouts. A “time-out” may only be requested by the captain on the court. The penalty for a second time-out is a point awarded to the opponent. A delay for an injury is an officials time-out. Scoring The winners of each match will count as one point. Whichever team misses or hits out the other 2018_Volleyball Rules team gets a point regardless of who served. The team that has reached 25 points at the end of the match, or has the most points when the allotted time has expired, will be declared the winners. Winning team must win by 2 points At this time, the captain of both teams must sign the scorecard held by the official. If at any time the captain of either team disagrees with the scorecard, they must immediately notify one of the league coordinators. Tie-breaking Procedures Ties in the standings will be broken in this order: 1. Head to head 2. Overall point differential PF-PA 3. Common games point differential 4. Coin toss If there are more than 2 teams that are tied, all the teams must have played each other in order for the results to go to head-to-head. Otherwise, we will go on to the next tie breaker which is the overall point differential and continue down the above procedure order until we have found a winner. Playoffs and Championship The playoffs will hold the same rules as the regular season. However, in the playoffs, no games will result in a tie. Any match that results in a tie will continue in sudden death until there is a declared winner. (See sudden death rules). Only the top teams in each division will advance to the playoffs. In the case that two teams have a tie record, the winner of the match between those teams will decide who advances to the playoffs. In the case that the two teams did not play, the total points earned for each team will determine who advances. The number of teams that make it to the play offs will be determined by the number of teams that sign up. Referee/Official Complaints We understand that teams will not always agree with calls made by the officials. However, all decisions are final. If a team has a question or complaint with an official’s call or judgment, they must notify their team captain. Only the team captains may approach the officials with complaints and this cannot be done during a match. Complaints to the officials may be done in between games only. Please remember, our officials are only human and mistakes will probably me made. Unfortunately, we do not have the luxury of “instant replay,” so please remember to respect the officials calls at all times. Conduct Frederick Social Sports is a social league where players can come out, meet people and have fun playing the sports they love. At no point in time will we tolerate obscene language, fighting, yelling at the officials or any other negative behavior. The officials reserve the right to eject players from the game for any of the above reasons. In the instance that a player is ejected, it will automatically be reported to the league coordinators, who will decide if any further actions need to be taken. Fighting and the use of obscene language may result in suspension or ejection from the league. Any player ejected from a game must immediately leave the establishment. Get ready for a fun and exciting season of Volleyball with Frederick Social Sports! 2018_Volleyball Rules 2018_Volleyball Rules .

  • Making the Rules of Sports Fairer
    Making the Rules of Sports Fairer Steven J. Brams Department of Politics New York University New York, NY 10012 USA [email protected] Mehmet S. Ismail Department of Economics Maastricht University PO Box 616 6200 MD Maastricht The Netherlands [email protected] 2 Making the Rules of Sports Fairer Abstract The rules of many sports are not fair—they do not ensure that equally skilled competitors have the same probability of winning. As an example, the penalty shootout in soccer, wherein a coin toss determines which team kicks first on all five penalty kicks, gives a substantial advantage to the first-kicking team, both in theory and practice. We show that a so-called Catch- Up Rule for determining the order of kicking would not only make the shootout fairer but also is essentially strategyproof. By contrast, the so-called Standard Rule now used for the tiebreaker in tennis is fair. We briefly consider several other sports, all of which involve scoring a sufficient number of points to win, and show how they could benefit from certain rule changes, which would be straightforward to implement. 3 Making the Rules of Sports Fairer1 1. Introduction In this paper, we show that the rules for competition in some sports are not fair. By “fair,” we mean that they give equally skilled competitors the same chance to win—figuratively, they level the playing field. Later we will be more precise in defining “fairness.” We first consider knockout (elimination) tournaments in soccer (i.e., football, except in North America), wherein one team must win.

  • Settling Ties in Handicap Competitions
    SETTLING TIES IN HANDICAP COMPETITIONS How do you settle deadlocks-a halved match or a stroke-play tie-in a net competition? Rule 33-6 in the Rules of Golf requires that the Committee in charge of the competition announce a procedure for breaking ties before the competition starts. Simply stated, a halved match shall not be decided by stroke play; a tie in stroke play should not be decided by a match. Under Conditions of the Competition in Appendix I of the Rules of Golf, the USGA has some good recommendations that can help in these ticklish situations. Let's start with stroke play. One day our favorite duo, Uncle Snoopy and Woodstock, play 18 holes in a net competition at one of their favorite courses, Pumpkin Patch Golf Club. Uncle Snoopy's diligent work on his game has shaved his USGA Handicap Index down to 9.2, which translated into a Course Handicap of 11 that day. Woodstock meanwhile, has continued to struggle along with his 17.4 USGA Handicap Index, which resulted in a Course Handicap of 20 at Pumpkin Patch GC. At the end of 18 holes, Uncle Snoopy and Woodstock performed some beagle arithmetic on their scorecard. From the drawing, you can see that they both made net scores of 72. How should they proceed to break the tie? Sudden death is not recommended by the USGA in such cases. It's felt that playing hole-by-hole shouldn't decide a tie in stroke play. Instead, a playoff over 18 holes is the favored format.

Sectional and District assignments are posted online under Golf at www.iahsaa.org. State Tournament will be held May 27 & 28 with sites posted online. USGA RULES DURING THE POSTSEASON All IHSAA sanctioned tournaments will follow USGA playing rules unless otherwise specified in the IHSAA Spring Golf Manual. All rules and regulations in the Spring Golf Manual (General Rules for Interscholastic Golf & Code of Conduct) are applicable to postseason play. Please see Guidance for COVID-19 as it relates to safety precautions and possible adaptation per local rules on the IHSAA website. RULES JURY AND POSTSEASON A jury consisting of three coaches should be selected prior to the start of competition. The coaches’ jury is to handle code of conduct and other IHSAA rules and regulations—they would make those determinations in concert with a PGA pro if available. When there is an identified PGA pro or rules interpreter present—we prefer the PGA rules interpreter make USGA rulings because of his/her knowledge. We still want the coaches’ jury to help assist with communication and those areas that involve “local committee” rules such as IHSAA code of conduct, Coaching Rule, etc. We do not want individual coaches whether on the coaches’ jury or not making rulings in isolation by him/herself on the course. Any rules of golf interpretations/consultations may be directed to the following individuals at the Iowa Section of the PGA at their office at Casey Harvey, Tournament Coordinator at 319-775-7255 (call first); Greg Mason, Executive Director at 319-230-4934 (call second); Mike Downing, Director of Player Development at 828-260-0230 (call third); Tess Goudy, Junior Golf Director at 319-310-8728 (call fourth); Jazz Tulda, Junior Golf Coordinator at 262-758-4229 (call fifth); and the general office at 319-648-0026.

  • Preventing Sudden Death in Sport and Physical Activity , Jones & Bartlett
    Charlie Thompson, MS, ATC Head Athletic Trainer Princeton University One of several authors for Preventing Sudden Death in Sport and Physical Activity , Jones & Bartlett. Some of the information provided here came from the book. USOC- Colorado Springs There have been 21 non- traumatic deaths since 2000- 10 SCT, 4 EHS, 1 Asthma, 6 SCD; 18 during conditioning, 3 during practice. 23 Exertional Sickling deaths in 12 years. There has not been one traumatic death in college football in that time. Why are we allowing it to happen? Over burdening athletes with non- stop activity; Casual attitude with “collateral damage”; No recovery period, especially if season was unsuccessful; Creation of “irrational intensity” not consistent with needs of the sport; Lack of science based programs (“make them tougher”). What is happening and why? What can we do when it does happen? How can we stop this from happening?

  • Mechanically Induced Sudden Death in Chest Wall Impact (Commotio Cordis) Mark S
    Progress in Biophysics & Molecular Biology 82 (2003) 175–186 Review Mechanically induced sudden death in chest wall impact (commotio cordis) Mark S. Link* From the Cardiac Arrhythmia Service, New England Medical Center, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA Abstract Sudden death due to nonpenetrating chest wall impact in the absence of injury to the ribs, sternum and heart is known as commotio cordis. Although once thought rare, an increasing number of these events have been reported. Indeed, a significant percentage of deaths on the athletic field are due to chest wall impact. Commotio cordis is most frequently observed in young individuals (age 4–18 years), but may also occur in adults. Sudden death is instantaneous or preceded by several seconds of lightheadedness after the chest wall blow. Victims are most often found in ventricular fibrillation, and successful resuscitation is more difficult than expected given the young age, excellent health of the victims, and the absence of structural heart disease. Autopsy examination is notable for the lack of any significant cardiac or thoracic abnormalities. In an experimental model of commotio cordis utilizing anesthetized juvenile swine, ventricular fibrillation can be produced by a 30 mph baseball strike if the strike occurred during the vulnerable period of repolarization, on the upslope of the T-wave. Energy of the impact object was also found to be a critical variable with 40 mph baseballs more likely to cause ventricular fibrillation than velocities less or greater than 40 mph. In addition, more rigid impact objects and blows directly over the center of the chest were more likely to cause ventricular fibrillation.
