* Terms & Conditions

In addition to the tournament rules, by entering our event, you will be accepting the following terms and conditions on behalf of all your team members and your team management staff.

Photos & Videos etc., during the event, the organisers (and others) will be taking photos and video recording the event. These will be used for event PR and displayed on our various approved volleyball web sites and forwarded to the local press where appropriate. Some matches (e.g. the event final etc.) will be videoed* and broadcast online. Please see the Volleyball Video Channel for more details.

* All videos are recorded and shown with reference to the UK Video recording act.

* Tournament Deposit

We all like to have an enjoyable and meaningful day of volleyball, however some teams / clubs have in the past either pulled out on the day (too late for the organisers to rearrange the match program), not turned up or have not entered into the spirit of the event. These teams now appear on our event black list and will be asked to pay an additional tournament deposit before we accept their entry. The tournament deposit is a cheque, equal to the event entry fee and will be returned to the team on the day.

* Definition of Catch & Volley

The ball must be caught and released in one movement and within one second, the ball must not be brought down below head level and the player can not change direction. The pass (catch volley) should resemble a volley pass. Players who use a netball or football type throw during a match are to be given one warning.
