Alignment – Why Do We Care?
• Alignment Premise– Players must be in the proper positions
relative to each other at the contact of the serve
• Why?– Rotational concept: Want players in a variety
of positions for both defensive and offensive purposes
• Different servers• Front Row/Back Row• Different serve receivers
![Page 4: Understanding Illegal Alignment Ed Vesely Topics Alignment – why do we care? What is illegal alignment? How/When do we call a foul? Translating the rules](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2a5503460f94c437b2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Alignment – The Rule (1)
• Basics:– Three front row players: left front (LF), center
front (CF), and right front (RF)– Three back row players: left back (LB), center
back (CB), and right back (RB)

Alignment – The Rule (2)
• At the moment of serve, all players, except for the server and including the libero, shall be within the team’s playing area and may be in contact with the boundary lines or center line, but may not have any part of the body touching the floor outside those lines.

Alignment – The Rule (3)
• At the moment of serve, all players shall be in correct serving order.
• Right side player must be closer to right sideline than corresponding center player.
• Left side player must be closer to left sideline than corresponding center player.
• Front row player must be closer to center line than corresponding back row player.
• Judge foot positions only

Making The Call
• At the moment of serve, all players shall be in correct serving order.
• Whistle upon service contact
• RB is not considered for serving team
• Referee judges serving team alignment
• Umpire judges receiving team alignment

Making The Call (2)
• Illegal alignment is most often called by the umpire against the receiving team
• Do not patrol the sidelines to determine if players overlap illegally
• “Even” is technically illegal, but NEVER called
• Question to consider on close cases: Is advantage being gained?
![Page 16: Understanding Illegal Alignment Ed Vesely Topics Alignment – why do we care? What is illegal alignment? How/When do we call a foul? Translating the rules](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2a5503460f94c437b2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Making The Call (3)
• Can do some preventive officiating:– Player standing slightly out of bounds– Close call with player leaving early
• Do NOT make “gotcha” calls
• Signal is a circular motion of the entire hand with the arm extended
![Page 17: Understanding Illegal Alignment Ed Vesely Topics Alignment – why do we care? What is illegal alignment? How/When do we call a foul? Translating the rules](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2a5503460f94c437b2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Evaluating Diagrams
• Look at individual pairs of players for possible overlaps
• Formations typically are created to optimize the positions of the setter and/or primary passers
• Develop a strategy for assessing all players:– Left to Right– Front to Back

Translating from positions to players
• If we know the positions, we can apply the rules
• Unfortunately, players don’t carry signs that say their current position
• All we know are their numbers, appearance, and perhaps the skill position they play
• So, how do we figure this one out…

Need to Track Players/Positions
How can we do this?
![Page 37: Understanding Illegal Alignment Ed Vesely Topics Alignment – why do we care? What is illegal alignment? How/When do we call a foul? Translating the rules](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2a5503460f94c437b2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Tracking: Other Reasons
• Libero Replacements:– Did the libero replace a back row player?– What position is the libero in?– The libero is still governed by the same illegal
alignment rules. S/he cannot go where s/he wants in the back row until after serve.
• Back Row Block
• Back Row Attack
![Page 38: Understanding Illegal Alignment Ed Vesely Topics Alignment – why do we care? What is illegal alignment? How/When do we call a foul? Translating the rules](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2a5503460f94c437b2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Tracking Players
• Need to formulate a personal method for tracking players
• Very likely will change many times over your career
• Changing methods is really a kind of evolution, adapting your tracking to what you can handle.

In The Beginning…
• There was the line-up card
• Allows umpires to ease into player tracking
• Lists the players in serving order
• Required in NFHS (high school)
• Forbidden in college and USAV

Line-Up Card Pros and Cons
• Good way to quickly determine positions
• Good backup for scorer w/ subs & TOs
• Takes a while to write down subs
• Why duplicate scorer’s work?
• Can become a crutch for tracking
• *** Umpires staring at card and missing/delaying the play ***
![Page 44: Understanding Illegal Alignment Ed Vesely Topics Alignment – why do we care? What is illegal alignment? How/When do we call a foul? Translating the rules](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2a5503460f94c437b2/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Tracking
• Very few people can memorize all 12 players in order, especially when order and players change because of rotations, replacements, and substitutions.
• Come up with a strategy for knowing where the “important” players are.
• This will evolve with your skill/needs.
![Page 45: Understanding Illegal Alignment Ed Vesely Topics Alignment – why do we care? What is illegal alignment? How/When do we call a foul? Translating the rules](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2a5503460f94c437b2/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Tracking – Early On
• If you track no one else, track where the setter is for each team– Illegal alignments often involve directly or
indirectly the setter.– 99.999% of back row blocks are by back row
setters.– Most back row attacks, especially at lower
levels, will be by back row setters.
![Page 46: Understanding Illegal Alignment Ed Vesely Topics Alignment – why do we care? What is illegal alignment? How/When do we call a foul? Translating the rules](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2a5503460f94c437b2/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Tracking – Early On
• During warm-ups, identify the players who are setting. Check the line-up sheets.
• Know 5-1 vs. 6-2 offenses.– 5-1 has one setter setting in all rotations. The
setter will be back row ½ the time.– 6-2 has two setters who are opposite of each
other. The primary setter will always be back row.
![Page 47: Understanding Illegal Alignment Ed Vesely Topics Alignment – why do we care? What is illegal alignment? How/When do we call a foul? Translating the rules](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2a5503460f94c437b2/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Tracking – Early On
• Tracking may start like “left court, setter is #9, in back row; right court, setter is #1, front row”
• Before each play could be as simple as “back/front” – left court setter is back row, right court setter is front row.
• Eventually evolve to “left side setter is LB; right side setter is LF”
![Page 48: Understanding Illegal Alignment Ed Vesely Topics Alignment – why do we care? What is illegal alignment? How/When do we call a foul? Translating the rules](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2a5503460f94c437b2/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Tracking – More Players
• Officials’ next steps are to add a player or two to the mix. For example:– Know the player who is opposite of the setter.
This helps mainly with some alignments, especially when the two are CF and CB.
– Know the players on either side of the setter. This will help with the setter’s alignment, but can become a bit difficult, especially in a 6-2.
– Pick other opposites like the primary passers.

Tracking – More Players
• As you add more players into your consideration, determine what works best FOR YOU for tracking them:– Uniform numbers– Physical characteristics like hair color, hair

Tracking – Knowing Rows
• A next step might be learning rows• Some people know the front row:
– These are front row players– Last number (RF) will be the next server– When rotating, new 1st number in sequence
• I know the back row:– Potential back row foul players– Last number (RB) is current/last server– When rotating, new last number (server)

Tracking – Knowing Rows
• Back row example: 71, 92, 3 // 11, 21, 5
• Left side serving means 3 is my server and LB->RB is 71, 92, 3
• Right side is receiving. 11 (LB), 21, 5 (previous server)

Tracking – Subs & Replacements
• Changes to the starting line-up do make it a bit more challenging.
• Incorporate sub numbers (or physical features) into your methodology
• Recognize patterns in substitutions
• With replacements, you may or may not want to incorporate that into methodology.– Not doing so allows you to know/remember
who the libero replaced.

Tracking – Putting it together
• Combine “row” strategy with others. This can give you a complete picture
• Ex: Left side:– Back row: 71, 92, 3– Offense: 5-1, 3 is setting– Opposites: 1 & 3, 12 & 71 (primary passers)– Can reconstruct positions as:
