Substitutions can be made between periods or due to injury. The team being scored on becomes server and cannot serve to the team that had just scored on them. Now the new server cannot serve to the team that had just lost serve. The Game 1. Deception is played until one team reaches 60 points.
Deception has four periods of play.
Lots are drawn to decide team sections before each period. The team in section I serves to begin each period. The serve is always underhand and with an open hand. The server must have one foot on and the other foot behind the service spot. Any violation of the serve is called an illegal serve by the referee and serve rotates to that team's right.
