RULE AND POLICY UPDATES

• Schedule Requests: Each team manager may submit a single schedule modification request for one night per season. Additional requests will be denied. Requests must be submitted via email to at least one week prior to the match date. PVA will attempt to accommodate such requests but may not be able to do so and retains the right to deny any request.
• Notices: Managers will receive an email alert for match time or location changes occurring less than a week before the match. Managers are asked to continue to monitor the PVA website throughout the season and to alert team members about changes. No notice will be sent for changes to matches scheduled to occur more than one week after the date the change is made. Make sure you have the address saved as a safe address (not spam)!
• Gym/Facility Use: PVA players and spectators are guests within the gyms and facilities we use. Our use is a privilege and we must be respectful of the other activities and users we encounter. Rude or disruptive behavior, disregard for facility rules/policies, drinking alcohol, and smoking/vaping are not permitted. Pets are also prohibited at PVA events except for summer leagues and in accordance with the ADA Service Animals guidelines. Teams and their guests that violate PVA's policies may be removed and/or banned from facilities and activities at the discretion of the PVA Board of Directors.

Coed Ghost Player Rule

December 8, 2019, 10:08 pm

The PVA Board has voted to do away with the old exemption rule which allowed a coed team to play with three men and two women only once a season, and instead to adopt the Ghost Player Rule as discussed at the Fall managers meeting. The rule is effective as of the beginning of Winter season and is stated as follows:

Ghost Player Rule

This rule automatically goes into effect for a coed team any time that team chooses, or is forced by circumstance, to play with only five players, and those players consist of three men and two women.

The team playing with three men and two women must leave a space in their lineup where the missing woman should be. If the missing woman would be in the front row, there would be only two front row players for that rotation. When the missing woman would normally serve, the serve goes to the opposing team, like a side-­out but without any point awarded.
