What are the main beach volleyball rules?
- 2 players per team, on a 16 × 8 m sand court
- Sets to 21 (third set to 15), win by 2; best of three
- The block counts as one of the three touches
- No open-hand tips — use knuckles or a closed hand
- Setting is judged more strictly for double contacts
- Teams switch sides every 7 points (5 in the third set)
- No fixed positions — only a serving order
