High school match. If the scorekeeper fails to notice an incorrect server, does the umpire blow the whistle for a violation after the serve or allow this to go waiting for the opposing team to detect? If the opposing teams is the first to detect, how does the coach bring it to the umpires attention? The NFHS book only states that the umpire is responsible for the receiving teams alignment. It doesn't list the correct serving order as a responsibility. The book also states that if the incorrect serving order is detected, all points awarded under the incorrect server will be disallowed. Anyone have the correct ruling?
Thanks
