Soccer Tennis Rules (2 vs. 2)

1. Boundaries
a. Play must occur within the service courts (extended to doubles width)

b. Boundary lines count as inbounds
i. If disagreement arises, the call should be decided by a predetermined 3rd party or replayed if necessary.
2. Service
a. Before each match, the participants will rally for the first set of serves
i. This rally will consist of tossing the ball to the other team representing the letter ‘R’ then preceding to make a pass for each letter in the word ‘rally.’ Once the word ‘rally’ is completed, the round has entered sudden death and the victorious team earns the first serve.
b. Serves will be grouped into sets of 5.
c. Service does not have to cross service line, but it must remain in the service courts (excluding the alley).
3. Touch limit
a. Each player can take up to 3 touches at a time.
i. Touch limit is reset after a pass is made.
b. Each team can make up to 5 passes before being required to play the ball across the net.

4. Scoring
a. All games will be played to 21.
i. Margin of victory must be by at least two points.

Currently drafting the rules. Please contact me with your team members (tournament will be 2 vs. 2 with optional alternate) so I can start working on a bracket. A date will also be announced within the next day.

Okay sounds like there has been some serious interest. Looking to organize a 2 vs. 2 tournament within the next 10 days. If you are interested in joining as a team message me on here, on the twitter (), or text me at (206) 883-7459. If you don't have a team member but still want to play, feel free to let me know and I'll try my best to find you a partner.

I'll be publishing a list of detailed rules so there is no confusion. These will be subject to change depending on the skill level of each event or willingness of those participating.
