All teams are required to complete the team registration form, above. If you have not done so, then you have until Tue. June 3rd to complete your team's entry. Failure to complete the registration process by this date will result in match forfeiture, on June 4th.

Also, see the rules concerning forfeits, as stated in the RBVL Rulebook:

1. Teams consist of 6 players with a minimum of 2 female players (Exception - Game 1 may be played with 5 players with a minimum of 2 female players).
2. All volleyball matches will be played at Riis Park on Wednesday nights. Nets will be available for setup at 6:00 PM. It is the home team’s responsibility to set up the net. However, if both teams help out, the process will go faster. If the net is not ready for the first game to start at 6:45 PM, then the home team will forfeit game 1. Both teams are required to field legal teams by 6:45 PM. If they do not, a forfeit will be declared (If both teams do not, a double forfeit occurs.).

   If Game 1 has been forfeited:

   • Game 2 will have a forfeit time of 7:00 p.m.
   • Game 3 will have a forfeit time of 7:15 p.m.
   • Game 4 will have a forfeit time of 7:30 p.m.
   • Game 5 will have a forfeit time of 7:45 p.m.

   If a legal game has been played, the next game shall be deemed to start immediately following (There is no additional 15-minute waiting period, once play has begun).

   Should a player become injured during the match and unable to continue playing, the team will be considered incomplete unless there is a substitute on the sidelines. In this instance, the substitute may enter onto the court regardless of the position. The injured player may not substitute in that game but must wait for a subsequent game to return.

3. If a team forfeits an entire match they will be penalized $50. This fee must be paid by the following week or the team will not be allowed to play.
4. Any team that forfeits three matches during the season, or two consecutive weeks, will face expulsion from the league, the following season.

Finally, the league sent an email to team captains and co-captains, last week, concerning registration. If you did not receive this email, then you need to provide updated email addresses. Please email the updated information to the league office. Remember to include team name and division.

1. As with last season, we will begin play on the beach in front of the bath houses. The trailer will be located on the west side of the bath houses, by the bathrooms.
2. There will be no court assignments until we return to the beaches by the flagpole, which is expected to be at the end of June. So, get there early and pick your spot.
3. Nets will be available at 5:45. As per the league president, nets not picked-up by 6:30 will be put back in the trailer, and the home team will forfeit. So, there's another reason to get there early.
4. Return your nets as soon as your match is complete, or you will incur the wrath of Mr. Gifford. And trust me, you do not want that.
5. Any disrespect shown toward NPS officials, especially those responsible for protecting the Plover, will be rewarded with banishment from the league.
6. Be aware, while smoking the ganja is legal in NYC, it is illegal on federal land.
7. Finally, clean-up after yourselves.
