This is a competition designed to allow DeMolays who are not competing in the major sports
tournaments to have a little fun on the side. It also allows visiting DeMolays,
guests, and advisors to participate in Conclave sporting events.
What makes this event
different from other competitions is that it is set up and executed by active DeMolays.
The State Athletics, Competitions, and Ritual Director will appoint officials and
referees. The tournament will follow these basic rules:
- International Volleyball Rules apply.
- Two (2) players will constitute a full team.

- You cannot cross the mid-line with your feet or arms below the net. You cannot spike the ball on the opponents side of the net. If so, the team loses point and serve.
- The games will be under the supervision and control of an official appointed by the State Director of Athletics, Competitions, and Ritual.
