Got the idea from a local college that has been been doing it in their matches, and I am curious to know what your opinions are.

Basically, when this team begins a set in receive, they start in either rotation 1 (setter is RB) or in rotation 6 (setter is RF). However, their alignment for these two rotations is identical.

O=====================O
l.........MB....................................l
l...OPP.........................................l
l................O1.............................l
l.............................................S..l
l.........................O2...........L........l
l_______________________________l

If they are in Rotation 1, S is RB, O1 is RF, MB is CF, OPP is LF, O2 is LB and L is CB

If they are in Rotation 6, L is RB, S is RF, O1 is CF, MB is LF, OPP is LB, and O2 is CB.

If my little diagram above is readable, you can see that that alignment is legal in both cases.

Obviously, it can be an advantage that your opponent doesn't know whether the setter or the opposite is in the front row. However, if I'm coaching at a club tournament and we line ourselves up like that, then score a first ball kill on a setter dump am I going to have issues with R1's calling BR Attacks on my setter and losing kills to inadvertent whistles and replays? Or how can I remedy this situation?

Thanks for your help
