At the six-minute mark, the teams will switch sides of the pit. The second half starts after the next
serve.
Up to six players may be in the pit at any given time. Alternates may rotate in when your team
regains position of the serve or injury.
Games will use a rally point scoring, where a point is awarded on every volley.

Referees’ decisions are final, but can be appealed to the decision of the Swampball Co-Chairs. If a
call is appealed, time will stop for an official time-out.
Unsportsmanlike conduct, including obscene language and behavior towards anyone will not be
