Tournament overview
Build the team that suits your game.
Stack'd gives Side Out Series competitors the freedom to choose their team size and compete in the same tournament—whether that is a full squad of six or a smaller, more confident lineup. Across two action-packed days, teams battle for glory with cash and gift prizes on offer.
Tournament format & divisions
Choose your competition.
Social and Competitive divisions will be offered across Men's, Ladies' and Mixed competitions.

- Competitions and divisions depend on nomination numbers and may not proceed if entries are insufficient.
- Players may nominate in two separate competitions, but not two divisions within the same competition. For example: Men's Competitive and Mixed Competitive is permitted; Men's Competitive and Men's Social is not.
Team fees
One team. One payment.
All fees must be paid as one combined team payment at the time of nomination.

Double elimination
Sunday finals will use a double elimination system for qualifying teams.
2026 players only
Every nominated player must have competed in the 2026 Side Out Series. No exceptions apply.
For smaller teams
- Only teams of two or three may call a timeout, and only against a team with more players.
- One timeout per set, taken before the two-minute warning bell.
- Maximum duration: 30 seconds.
Two-player teams
Two-aside rules apply when a team competes with only two players. When that team faces three or more players, the two-player team is exempt from the usual two-aside attacking restriction: it may make an attacking shot that contacts two perimeter nets, while the opposing larger team may not.
