"Hidden" Rotations

Do you run the risk of mistaken illegal attack calls? Probably. How can you avoid it? Maybe have those players stacked under the R1 discretely tell the R1 that the setter is front row, and not to be faked out. Either than or hope your R1 is aware enough to know where your setter is.

The trouble is that it doesn't matter how "aware" the R1 is, he doesn't know if the setter is front or back row. I'm talking about USAV juniors club tournaments here.

The R2 will be a teenager, so the odds of having a "sharp" R2 are also extremely low.

We'll see if the scenario plays out this season and I'll let you guys know how it goes.
