The object of Malibu Bikini Volleyball is to be the first to score the 
game-winning point, or Out-score your opponent within the pre-set time limit.
 
The rules are: You can only score a point if you are the team who served the 
point. When the other team is serving you must defend your court and prevent 
your opponent from scoring. Each time your opponent is on the offensive and 
fails to return one of your shots, you get to serve again. This is called a 
"side Out."
