I start on the defensive side of the net, then move back and forth as the ball is in play, staying on the defensive side of the net. Your responsibility is basically attack line to attack line. The up official (R1) has responsibility for watching the ball. As a down official (R2), during the attack at the net, I am primarily watching the blocker(s) and the net for net fouls. This is not a complete list of R2 responsibilities, but in my experience, it's the biggest piece.
