Re: Volleyball - ISU vs. Cal Game Thread - Cal 1 ISU 0
After the first round, I considered finding out who was doing the pbp so I could email him that Boeve is in fact pronounced "boo-vee", not "bowe-vee", but I figured someone else would tell him. After watching him continue to butcher it in round two and now in round three, I'm regretting not doing it.

The libero is basically allowed to sub at anytime. Each team can only sub so many times per game. libero's do not effect that number.

Unless it was tipped I agree. Looking at the referee's body language I don't think she had any idea. Would have been nice to have John MacEnroe as an assistant.

The Libero: Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the basic definition of a libero, and how do I pronounce it?
The libero is a designated back-row player, intended to be used as a ball-control specialist. The libero is allowed to replace any player in the back row without counting as a substitution. There is no limit to the number of libero replacements a team is allowed. The pronunciation is "LEE-bah-ro".
The color of the libero's uniform must contrast from the color of her teammates' uniforms. The libero's shorts must be the same as her teammates'. The style and trim of the designated libero?s uniform may differ from her teammates'. The referees will ultimately decide if the amount of contrast is sufficient, but these examples can be used as guidelines:
Allowable
Not Allowable
Main uniform is blue with white trim, libero uniform is all whiteNot Allowable
Main uniform is white on the top half and black on the bottom half, libero uniform is all white
Main uniform is white with red trim, libero uniform is red/white checked
Main uniform is white, libero uniform is light gray.
Yes, the libero must wear a legal number.
Yes, one libero is designated on the lineup sheet prior to each game. If a libero is not designated on a lineup sheet for a game, the team may not use a libero.
Yes. That player must retain the same number throughout the match. All non-libero players in any game must wear identical uniforms, so if a player ceases to be a libero in a subsequent game, she must wear a uniform identical to her teammates.
The libero plays only in the back row.
The libero may not block or attempt to block.
The libero may not attack the ball if contact is made while the ball is completely above the height of the net.
A teammate may not attack a ball that is completely above the height of the net IF the libero set that ball to her from the attack zone using an overhand finger pass.
The libero may not block or attempt to block.
The libero may not attack the ball if contact is made while the ball is completely above the height of the net.
A teammate may not attack a ball that is completely above the height of the net IF the libero set that ball to her from the attack zone using an overhand finger pass.
When the libero contacts the ball without overhand finger action (e.g., beach dig or forearm pass), OR
When the libero contacts the ball using ANY technique from behind the attack line.
When the libero contacts the ball using ANY technique from behind the attack line.
The libero and the player on the court exchange places between the attack line and the end line. No referee action is required. This replacement can only take place at the end of a rally before the whistle for the next service.
The libero is never substituted (except in cases of exceptional substitutions), they are replaced. The libero MUST be replaced by the same player that replaced her. That replacement can take place at any time while the libero is on the back row, and must take place when the libero rotates to the front row.
For example, if the libero (player No. 7) replaced No. 6 on the back row, then No. 6 is the only player that may come back in for the libero. If the coach does not want No. 6 to remain in the game, s/he must request a substitution.
For example, if the libero (player No. 7) replaced No. 6 on the back row, then No. 6 is the only player that may come back in for the libero. If the coach does not want No. 6 to remain in the game, s/he must request a substitution.
In addition to unlimited libero replacements, 12 team substations will be allowed.
Yes. When the libero is replaced, she must remain on the bench for one rally before re-entering for a back-row player. However, an exception is made if the next action the libero will take is to serve - in that case, the libero does not have to be out of the game for one rally before replacing the server.
Yes. Before the match begins, the referees will ask the coach to indicate which player will become the captain when the libero is not on the floor.
No, the libero cannot be designated as one of the six starting players on the lineup. Immediately after the second referee checks the lineups, the libero may replace any back-row player except for the first server of the team that is serving first.
Yes, and the libero may be introduced as the seventh starter.

I believe they don't have the rule on number of substitutions anymore.

Its my fault, I left to help my wife carry in groceries and we came back from being close to 12 down to only losing by 3. I didn't watch any of the other games we won...I'm bad luck. Im turning this thing off and you guys will have to keep me updated on how we do.
