8th grade game, I am a basketball official so i don't know anything about the rules of volleyball. I did see several things the officical did, that i believe i would chalk up as lack of experience which i clearly understand. The following is a ruling she made, if correct, I think is a bad rule. Team A serving, they volley back and forth until the ball goes oob (?) on Team B side line. The ball was oob's but that is not my point. She also imediately signaled IB, but that is not my point either. After confering with the line judge( who didn't know if in or out), she rules she is not sure if it was in or out, so Team A gets a do-over serve. This I think is a bad rule. In basketball if the officials don't know then we go to a possession arrow. So, i think the volleyball rule should allow serve to go to the team that did not start the game with the serve. So, what do you think?
