Libero serving

[refnrev]

So help me do the math here... I can see this so much better when I am actually at the court watching the girls rotate than I can sitting here looking at this computer screen ... the L can now potentially stay in how many consecutive rotations before having to be replaced? 4? 6? Either of the above?

Conceivably, a libero could:

Replace into RB (1)
Rotate into CB (2)
Rotate into LB (3)
Be replaced/replace into RB to serve (4)
Rotate into CB (5)
Rotate into LB (6)

before rotating into LF and having to come out.

Had our first meeting tonight...Oregon is also one of the States experimenting with the libero serving.

Actually, I don't see it being much of a problem, except when the "phantom replacement" occurs - #4 in Felix's list above. If the libero tracker isn't really on top of things it could get messy in a hurry.

When I'm the U, I fully intend to thoroughly pregame it with the tracker & scorer to make sure they understand the changes in both procedures. For at least the first couple weeks, we'll also probably take a few extra seconds the first time or two it occurs in a match to make sure they got it.

Call me paranoid, but the first time the libero serves I'm also going to mark that position in the rotation on my lineup card with a triangle - just in case....a little prevention never hurts!

More power to you. I figure I've got enough to worry about watching for alignment. I'll let the tracker handle that.
