"Hidden" Rotations

[Antonio.King]

Whether or not your setter is called on an illegal attack has no relevance to her position at the start of the rally. If she is legally in position at the start of the rally, then you shouldn't be penalized with an out of rotation.

However, if she illegally attacks the ball while in the back row, then she will be nailed for an illegal attack. Illegal attacks are judged on the player's position above the vertical plane of the net during the act of playing the ball. Nothing more, nothing less.

Hope that helps!

Kayla - first of all, your notation shows two players listed as LF in Rotation 1. Probably just a typo, but I had to look at it a couple of times to figure it out. In Rotation 1, assuming that O1 is actually the RF player, the rotation is legal.

Antonio - I think Kayla's question is not so much an "out of rotation" question as it is a question of the R1 not knowing whether the setter is front row or back row at the start of the set and improperly calling a back row attack when the setter is actually a front row player.

Kayla - if you have a sharp R2, when the lineups are checked before the start of the set, he will discreetly indicate the setter's position to the R1 prior to releasing the court to him. It may be to your benefit to mention what you are doing to the R2 and ask him/her to relay the info to the R1 to prevent the erroneous back row attack call.

If the Setter is RF, then OPP would be LB. If setter is RB, then OPP is LF.
