When does the referee stop play? What happens to the result of the rally? What's the penalty?

In this situation, play is stopped when noticed due to improper player on court. If the team was serving, all points in the current rally are removed and other team gets a point and serve. If the team was receiving, correct the players on the court with point to serving side.

If the libero number was a player on the bench or even in the set, that player must be the libero for the current set. If libero number on line-up doesn't exist, the coach can re-designate the libero to the current libero on the floor.

In this situation, the R2 will correct the switch before the serve --i.e. put #7 back in the set, and charge the team with a delay sanction.
