:Agreed. Stupid (but interesting). I vote, "No" but would probably be outvoted. -- [[User:AstroU|AstroU]] ([[User talk:AstroU|talk]]) 15:54, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Summary rewrite

Volleyball is a sport played between two teams of two players each (beach doubles) or two teams of six players each (indoor) separated by a net. Starting with a serve behind the backline, each team is allowed up to three contacts to return the ball over the net, between the antennas, to the opponent's side. A point is scored when the ball is grounded or a player commits a fault. It has been a part of the official program of the Summer Olympic Games since 1964.

Individual players may not touch the ball twice consecutively. The winner of the rally serves to start the next point, with the team rotating if they were previously on serve receive. Players can legally contact the ball with any part of their body, but usually use their hands and arms for better control. Faults include but are not limited to: feet crossing under the center line, touching of the net during play, more than three contacts by one team, or carrying the ball.

Recent rule changes include the addition of the libero, a defense specialized player, and substituting rally scoring for side out serving.Pattompattom (talk) 23:00, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
