SCORING.

Two Types of Scoring Volley ball

Rally Point Scoring

The team winning a rally scores a point. When the receiving team wins a rally, they gain a point
and the right to serve, and its players rotate one position clockwise.

The best of three or best of five games will win matches. Each non-deciding game will be won
by the team that first scores 25 points with a minimum two-point advantage. If there is a
deciding game, it will be won by the team that first scores 15 points with a minimum two-point
advantage. This system is used for major competitions.

Sideout Scoring

Only the serving team may score a point, except in the deciding game when rally-point scoring
is used. When the receiving team wins a rally, it gains the right to serve (also scoring a point in
the deciding game), and its players rotate one position clockwise. Rotation ensures that players
play at both the net and the back zone of the court.

A team wins a game by scoring 15 points with a two-point advantage and wins the match by
winning the best of three or five games. In the event ofa 16-16 tie, the team scoring the 17th
point wins a non-deciding game with only a one-point advantage. In a deciding game play
continues until one team is two points ahead.

Serving

The ball is served by the back right hand player (see diagram) across the net

After a side-out the players of the 'new serving team rotate one place in a clockwise direction. The player
from position 2 becomes the server and takes up position I on the court.

These are the positions of the six players (they are not the players numbers as they appear on
their shirts). Numbers 2, 3 and 4 are front-court players; number 5, 6 and 1 are back-court
players. If the team is serving then the player at position 1 becomes the server.

The arrow marks the spot where the serve would be made. The player would serve and return
to the court. The ball is served with one hand (open or closed) and has to go across the net. The
ball iş thrown into the air with both hands, and hit with either one hand or arm. Only one
attempt at serve is allowed.

The team with the right to serve first serves at the start of set 1 and 3. The opposing team will
serve at the start of sets 2 and 4. In a five set match, a coin will be tossed to decide which team
serves first, and for the right to choose ends.

The server may move around within the service area, and jump to make the serve, as long as
the server stàys off the court. For major matches, there is a 'free zone around the court,
extending from between 2 to 5 meters (6 feet 6 to 16 feet) from the sides, and2 to 8 (6 feet 6 to
26 feet) meters from the ends. The server is not allowed to step into this zone while making the
serve. The service area extends back to the limit of the free zone.

However, the serving player can land inside either the court or the free zone after releasing the
ball. Once the referee has signaled for the match to begin, the server has five seconds to make
the serve.

Any player can receive the serve, and one player can theoretically serve for all 25 polnts. 1he
serving continues until that team loses service. If a player serves out of Rotation order, all
points gained in that sequence are lost, and the team loses possession of the ball. The teanm
must be back in rotational order before the play restarts.

The receiving team must be able to see the server and the ball at all times. The Serving team
must not block the view of either the server or the ball.

The ball is allowed to contact the net during the serve. If the ball travels over the net, between
the antennas, and ends up the opponents court, it is legal.

Playing positions

The team to serve first is decided by a toss of a coin. The captain of the team which wins the
toss can choose either to serve, or which side of court to play on. In the diagram, the numbers
mark where the receiving team could be positioned, although the diagram is a guide only.

At the moment that the ball is hit by the server, the players must be in their own court, and in
lines, not necessarily straight, but two distinct lines. The back row players must be farther from
the net than the front row players.

Players on both sides remain in playing positions at each service until a side-out. When the
team who is serving changes between sets, it is the serving team who rotates players, according
to the black arrows in the diagram, one place clockwise. The team that loses the service does
not rotate.

The rotation order remains the same through a set, and can only be changed at the start of a
new set. Once the ball has been served, the players can move around their own side of the
court and play in any position.

The reason that teams rotate is so that every member of the team has a chance to play in every
position on the court.

Substitutions

Up to six substitutes may be played in one set. Any player who joins the game as a substitute
can only be substituted by the player he replaced originally. Substitutes can only be made
during breaks in play (time-outs, between set breaks, or when the ball is out of play), and with
the permission of the referee.

The Libero

This player wears a different colored uniform from the rest of the team and can be substituted
in backcourt for any player on the team. The libero (free) cannot serve, spike the ball over the
net, or rotate into the front-line positions, but receives, serves and defends the backcourt.
There must be at least one point played between a libero substituting off for a player and going
back on the court for another player - hence they cannot be on the court for the whole game.

VolleyBall Officials

Scorers

The official scorer keeps track of the score throughout the volleyball game. Before the game
begins the scorer notes the starting lineup of each team and notifies the referees if the lineup
wasn't received on time.

If a dispute or irregularity arises regarding the score, the scorer uses a buzzer to notify the first
and second referees. Additionally, when a substitution request arises, the scorer notifies the
referees.

Line Judges/ Line man

At least two, and as many as four, line judges monitor each game. The line judges stand at the
corners of the court watching the lines to indicate whether a ball in play falls in or out of the
court.

If a server steps on the line during a serve, the line judge watching the given line notifies the
referees using a flag. When a player touches an out-of-play ball or if the ball hits an antenna,
the designated line judge also indicates the interference.

First Referee

The first referee stands on the referee stand and controls the play of the entire game.
Whatever issues arise during the game, the first referee determines the call and the has the
final say. After making a call, no player or other referee can argue the call, although a formal
protest can be placed with the scorer.

4
Before the match begins, the first referee inspects the equipment and the players'
uniforms. The warm-ups and the coin toss also fall under the jurisdiction of the first referee.

Throughout the match, the first referee makes calls regarding faults and scoring issues.
Following the match, the first referee notes the score and signs the official paperwork.

Second Referee

The second referee works to assist the first referee throughout the game. If for some reason
the first referee can't finish her duties, the second referee may take the place of the first
referee.

The second referee stands next to the post opposite the first referee. In addition to assisting
the first referee with determining faults throughout the game, the second referee is in charge
of all substitutions, timeouts and the actions of the scorers table.
