Test Question 1

[bob jenkins]

Yes, these questions are from my pre-season test. And, No, I don't expect (or want) you just to give me the correct answer.

So, here's the question, and my reasoning / or request for further clarification.

A12 attacks the ball into B3, who is blocking. The ball rebounds off the block into the net and back into B3's chest while her hands are about (emphasis added) the height of the net. B3 then plays the ball. The correct procedure would be:

So -- does the word "about" have any meaning within this play? Did they really mean "above?" If so, is the second time B3 touches the ball (after the block, after the ball touches the net) still a block? If so, then this is "play on" -- B3 has had only one hit.

Or, if it's not a block, or they really meant "about" (meaning "not above"), then either way, it's two hits on B3.
