First
Referee
The first referee has authority over all
other members of the officiating crew.

The first referee should talk to all the

officiating crew members before the
match starts, going over any questions
officials might have about their
responsibilities.

The first referee should have a talk with

the second referee before the match starts
discussing issues such as pre-match
protocol and anything what will help the
match run more smoothly.
Second
Referee
The second referee should establish a
rapport with the scorekeeper and
libero tracker. If the scorer and libero
tracker have a problem or don’t
understand something, they should be
comfortable enough to ask the second
referee for help.
The
Scorekeeper
The scorekeeper’s main job is to make
sure the score is correct at all times.
The scorekeeper uses a score sheet to
keep track of the game.

If there is a difference between the

score on the score sheet and the visual
score the visual score should be
change to match the score on the
scoresheet unless the mistake on the
scoresheet can be determined and
corrected.

info. Like team names,
starting lineups, etc.

timeouts.
During the

The Assistant
Scorer
The assistant scorer or
(libero tracker) sits at the
scorer’s table next to the
scorekeeper.
The assistant scorer’s main
function is to record libero
replacement on to a libero
tracking sheet.
The Assistant
Scorer
• Notifies any fault with libero
replacements.

• Operates the manual scoreboard

on the scorer’s table.

• Checks the score on the

scoreboard with the score on the
scoresheet.
The Line
Judges
The line judges
watch the endline
and sideline of their
respective corners.
The Line
Judges
Line judge’s main responsibility is to
make signals to help out the referees
in making judgement calls.

These officials often use flags to

signal when a ball is in or out, hits the
antennae of the net, or when the
server commits a foot fault, or steps
outside the line as they serve.
The Line
Judges
If only two judges are used, they
stand at the corner of the endline
that is closest to the right hand of each
referee, diagonally from the corner.

For FIBV and official competitions,

four line judges are used. Each line
judge stands in the free zone 1 to 3
meters, lined up with the imaginary
extension of their respective line.
