Libero serves in multiple rotation spots

BITS, no, it is not an "illegal replacement." Read your casebook situations that came out earlier this year. If the libero has legally entered the game (sat out one rally prior to entering, and is in a back-row position), then nothing is illegal until she contacts the ball and serves illegally in the second position during that game. Then, the penalty is Illegal Serve and LOR (Rule 8-2-5d).
