For the 2007 AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour, the following rules will be used:
Each match will be a best of three rally-scoring sets.
The first two sets are played to 21 points.
The third set is played to 15 points.
Teams must have a two-point advantage to win a set and there will be no caps used.
There are two (2) timeouts per set with a duration of 30 seconds each.
Only one (1) injury timeout per player per match is allowed.
A side change will occur every seven (7) points in the first two sets and every five (5) points in the third set. The side changes will be direct without delay.
Time between sets will be one (1) minute.
Court dimensions are 8-meters (26-feet, 3-inches) by 8-meters per side.
In 2001, the AVP approved the implementation of having a let serve be "in play." This means, if a server's ball hits the net and falls into the receiving team's space, the ball is in play.
