League Rule Modifications for Outdoor Competition
In the event that a team competition will be played outdoors (rather than indoors), these rule allowances should be followed for the matches:
- A player is allowed to wait before serving, if he or she feels that the current conditions (wind, etc.) are going to interfere with the ball during the point.
- During a rally, either player or can raise a hand in the middle of a point to call a let in the case of any sudden change in playing conditions (due to wind, weather, etc.) that may affect the point. Upon calling a let, the point will replayed.
