Net fault questions
I would appreciate a breakdown of the differences in how this is called in the 3 rulesets: FED, NCAA, USAV.
The served ball contacts the net outside the antenna on the R2's side of the court. 1) Is this a net fault, or "ball out"? 2) Who whistles the fault? I was told recently that in USAV, any call regarding the serve belongs to the R1; but my partner today disagreed with that. So I'm wondering if I misunderstood what I was told. |

The way NFHS words it is a bit confusing, it's listed as a service fault but its the out signal to be given
6ART. 6 . . . A served ball is a service fault and becomes dead when the ball: a.*Does not legally cross the net, such as when the ball: 1. Passes under the net; (Signal 6) Touches one of the server's teammates; (Signal 6) 3.*Touches the floor on the server's side of the net. (Signal 6) b.*Crosses the net not entirely between the net antennas, or lands out of bounds; (Signal 13) c.*Touches the ceiling or any obstruction. (Signal 13) |

It should be out under all rulesets. They allow a let serve, so it's not a fault for not going over the net until we're sure it doesn't go over. However, it's also dead if it hits the antenna or the net outside (or goes outside without contact), so the instant that happens, you'd blow it dead without waiting to see it goes over the net. Hope that makes sense.
R1 should be killing the play in this scenario.
