Referees

There will not be referees during the matches.  You will referee your own matches.  We expect good sportsmanship at all times in this area.
Guidelines for calls:  line calls should be made by team receiving the ball, and should only be called out if the ball is clearly seen as out.  If a player is unsure of the call, they should assume the ball was in, and continue playing.  If the hitting team sees a ball out, they can also call it out on themselves.  Either team can make calls on service faults or non-volley zone faults, and the hitting team is expected to call faults on themselves or their partner.

We appreciate your help to make this event a fun experience.  If there are any problems, players involved may be disqualified from participating in future events.
