Grrller87, you ain't just a-chompin' your choppers! When we have to make a decision that someone disagrees with, we are always going to be blamed for our ruling. The best we can hope is that we know what rules we are enforcing on any given night and that the players, coaches and fans have some freakin' idea which set of rules we are playing by!

In the adult co-ed league in which I ref, we use modified USAV rules. Teams must have at least four players for the match to start and if they only have four, they must play a diamond - three up and one back with the server ALWAYS back-row.

Jan, get this, I had a situation just like that (Park District Co-Ed with modified USAV rules), but we didn't "require" a 3-Up/1-Back line-up, and the team "insisted" on playing Box Formation (2-Up/2-Back)... and yes, they lost.
