Illegal alignment is like players in the lane on a FT. They have to be in the right order and spots, however, good advanced teams will have some really unique but legal alignments. Some time overlapping will be as obvious as a gorilla on the court. At times you won't see it when everyone else does. It takes practice and sometimes you'll miss it, but make 100% sure you're right before you blow it. It's better to let it go than to call it wrong and have them line up and prove you wrong.
Watch the net. That's your primary. It's like being the C in 3-man. Forget the ball and watch your area. I saw a guy call foot faults on the server from the floor. Needless to say he got very few calls back!!!!!
Make sure that the table is getting stuff right. Nothing like having a game point discrepancy to bring you down a notch or two.

Scrappy, Relax a little bit. This is an easy game with some funky nuances. This stuff will come. But it takes time to get it right. You'll make some bad calls at first... we all did. The key is to not make them over and over. RR
