My experience is that some state associations have mandated that flash is not allowed. I base my call upon two things (1) is it distracting to the players on the court? and (2) is the flash causing me to see "blue dots" instead of colored or white volleyballs? Actually, if the flash blinds me during play, the photographer is going to be moved so I can do my job without interference.
