NFHS 8-2-7: When a receiving team player is out of position on the serve and:

b. A service fault occurs, the receiving team is penalized.

NFHS 8-2-5, 6 define the illegal serve and the service fault. The OP is an illegal serve.

The wording here would confuse me at a glance.

Typically my understanding is that R1 is in full authority from serve beckon and then to determine if ball is served withing time limit and without foot fault. Once ball is legally contacted, then any out of position at the time of ball contact can be assessed by R2.

So that leaves me with one question here.

What if the serving team is out of position, but with correct server. Receiving team is also out of position or overlapped player(s). Who would get penalized? Or is it replay?
