The Pursuit Rule
will be in effect when there is a
minimum of 2m clearance on both sides of the court, from the ref stand to the
closest obstruction and from the R2’s net post to the score table/closest
obstruction. REMINDER: The Pursuit Rule will not be used if the
minimum clearance exists on only one side of the court.

A ball can be
retrieved from beyond the Sport Court or other portable surface ONLY IF the
entire area surrounding the sport court is free of obstructions and safety
hazards, including spectator seating.
This does not include the bench side of the court, of course. Also, this area does not need to be
symmetrical. In other words, the areas
around each side of the court beyond the playing surface do not need to have
the same depth of free and clear space.
From a practical standpoint, this rule may not be implemented at many
of our tournaments because the area beyond the Sport Court often includes
spectator seating. When this rule is
not in effect, the “old Sport Court” rule will apply – some body part must be
touching the court surface to contact a ball that has gone beyond the court
(USAV 9, page 33).

The Penalty area is
described on the next slide. Due to
limited space at many tournaments, a Penalty Area may not be encountered very
often.
