If they aren't closer to the net (centerline) than the other 3 players on their team, you can be 99.99% sure that there is an overlap.
There are times that coaches come up the gol-darndest serve-receive formations that I have ever seen. When that happens, I am asking my scorekeeper for information constantly so that I can figure out what the heck they are doing (and I am usually pretty good at tracking the players on the court...but there are definitely times!!!).

Jan,
Your statement can be read as implying that all three front row players need to be in front of all three back row players. While I know that's not the case, and I know you know that's not the case, it could be confusing to others.
But yes, the scorekeeper can be an invaluable aide in getting your bearings set, even with a lineup card.
