    Here, we rely on the spirit of Fair Play and assume that teams will act honestly. It's sufficient for one team to yield so that a player from the other team can unblock the ball.
    We assume that once the ball is unblocked, the team that stepped aside will only block the ball until the opposing team returns to full strength.
    If neither team is willing to step aside, the referee has the right to stop the game and instruct the players to go to the center of the field. Afterward, the referee will release the ball, and upon their signal, the game will be resumed.
    
22. Voice communication* takes place on a single Discord channel, and the referees have the right to move to an internal channel during deliberations.
    
23. If a team requests, fans will be politely directed to a designated channel; referees can't control this, personal culture applies.
    

*We remind you that the primary language of our DC is Polish; players from non-Polish-speaking squadrons will be informed about important game details in English.

3. Players take their starting positions, and upon the referee's signal of 3, 2, 1, Start, they move towards the ball, and the match begins.
