Shorthanded team and back row attack, or not

[BigToe]

I would have handled it very similarly and not changed the way I was calling the match from game 1 to game 3. The only difference would have been to identify who the one back row player was. The obvious choice is the server. Even if I did not identify this player to begin with, I might have still called a backrow violation on him if one occured.

I have had to ref some recreational volleyball in which a team intentially has 4 players so their best three players are only not hitting for one rotation. I don't want to give teams with 4 any more or less advantage then they should receive.
