By entering the cup I agree with the following rules:

General Rules

Drinking alcohol can cause accidents, so it is forbidden during the competition! Smoking is allowed at the appointed places!

If a team recedes from the competition before the 4^th March, their entry fee will be refund. If they do this after the deadline, their entry fee will not be payed back.

If any of the teams or the players cause damage please inform us immediately, so we can do the necessary arrangements. In that case when the Insurance Company does not refund our expenses then it is the charge of the person who caused it.

If the organisers find the behaviour of a player or a team inappropriate or even dangerous (they don’t keep the rules, cause damage…etc.) in order to maintain the security of the Cup the organisers are allowed to disqualify that player or team on the spot.    

We kindly ask all the participants, trainers, parents and spectators to behave sportsmanlike and pay attention to the order and cleanness of the gymnasium!

Rules of the Game

Middle-school, university and other amatuer mix-teams can participate at the Cup, with an age limit drawn at 25 years (people born at or after 1^st January 1983).

The general rules of volleyball, approved by the FIVB for the 2005-2008 season will be applied during the tournament. A team is composed of 6+2 players and there must be minimum 3 female players on the field each time. We do not limit the number of professional players in one team, but there can be maximum 2 on the field in the same time.

We provide the possibility of asking for another player in case a team is composed of less members than six, but definitely wants to participate in the competition or when there is an injury and there is no substitution left. Our only request is that minimum four players should be on the field from the originally registered team.

No medical aptitude test is required, everybody participates at this Cup on his/her responsibility.

Because the matches are played for time there is no possibility for asking for time, but the number of asking for substitution is unlimited (just indicate it to the umpire). There is no changing of the sides/fields either.

As for mixed-teams participate at the competition the height of the net is 243 cm.

Every team that is not accompanied by a trainer or an adult and has a player under the age of 18 must bring a written parental concent that the parents are aware of where their child is gone and what does he/she participate in.

According to our traditions every team must have a member who conducts the matches (this can be the trainer as well; because we do this ourselves) and another member who writes the register. Certificates for this are not required.

If team is not present at the match in time, they lose that match for 25-0. (Maximum waiting time is ONE minute!) If the umpire is not present at the match in time, then his/her team will start there following match from -5 points.

The matches are over for music and till it lasts the following teams may do the warming-up.

If the ball is in the air when the music starts that point MUST BE finished! If the scores are equal when the match is over then the teams should play till the next point! (So in contrary to the official rules here a team can win with only one point, beacuse of the time limits.)

Because we have a strictly limited time there is no possibility for caveat.
 
From the year 2007 on the following rule is applied: as a symbol of their support and for beginning a tradition the Government of Zalaegerszeg offered a Challange Cup for the winner. The team which wins this Cup three times can keep it, and a new one will be made the following year. That is why we would kindly ask all teams not to change name in case of avoiding trouble!

Thank you!
