Because of Insufficient Players or Incomplete
Team ARTICLE 2. a. If a team does not have
sufficient players to start a game or is unable
to play when the first referee is ready to begin
the match, that team loses the game by

waiting period, a team does not have six players
present and is not ready to play, the second game
is declared a default
22
RULE CHANGES 2005 RULE 8-5-2, PAGES 39-40 DEFAULT
(CONT.) An additional 10-minute waiting period is
allowed before declaring the third game and the

as their on court warm-up period.
23
RULE CHANGES 2005 RULE 8-5-2, PAGES 39-40 DEFAULT
(CONT.) Note If the home institution or
tournament director has been notified that the
visiting team will be delayed due to
circumstances beyond its control, the referee
should delay or postpone the match for a
reasonable amount of time. In that situation, the
pre-match protocol described in Rule 9-1-1 (29
minutes to 60 minutes) should be allowed.
24
RULE CHANGES 2005 RULE 9-1-1-a, PAGE 41 PRE-MATCH
PROTOCOL In a tournament situation, or (if both
coaches agree) when a match follows another

court time period of 41 minutes may be reduced to
a minimum of 10 minutes.
25
RULE CHANGES 2005 RULE 9-1-1-b, PAGE 41 PRE-MATCH
PROTOCOL (CONT.) No adjustments will be made to
the warm-up protocol when a team arrives within
60 minutes of the match start time (i.e., when
the first referee is ready to begin the match),
unless the home institution or tournament
director has been notified that the team is
delayed. If notification is given, the standard
warm-up protocol (29 minutes to 60 minutes)
should start when the delayed team arrives on the
court. (See Rule 8-5-2.)
26
RULE CHANGES 2005 RULE 9-1-2-c, PAGE 42 PRE-MATCH
WARM-UP During the pre-match warm-up, when one
team has exclusive use of the court, the other
team must be at their team bench or out of the

portion of its exclusively allocated time on the
court, the court will remain unoccupied.
27
RULE CHANGES 2005 RULE 10-3-2-c, PAGES
47-48 POSITION FAULTS If the team at fault is
serving or has just lost a rally, and the fault
is discovered before the opponents serve, all
points scored after the fault during that term of
service must be canceled. In addition, all
timeouts taken by the team not at fault as well
as substitutions, libero replacements and team
sanctions charged to either team after the
commission of the position fault must be
canceled. Individual misconduct sanctions and
timeouts taken by the team at fault are not
canceled.

29
RULE CHANGES 2005 RULE 11-2-3-b, PAGE
52 SUBSTITUTION REQUESTS 5. After a substitution
request has been granted, including a substitute
entering the substitution zone, if a delay is
caused by the coach or playing captain refusing
to complete the substitution, a team delay
sanction is assessed. A new request for
substitution may not be made until the next
interval when the ball is out of play or until a
timeout is granted to either team.
30
RULE CHANGES 2005 RULE 14-5-2, PAGE 66 ATTACKING
THE SERVE It is illegal for a player to complete
an attack-hit on the opponents service while the
ball is in the front zone and entirely above the
top of the net.
31
RULE CHANGES 2005 RULE 14-5-4-a, PAGE 66 BACK ROW
ATTACKER A back-row player who is in the front
zone may not complete an attack-hit if, at
contact, the ball is entirely above the top of
the net. The contact does not become illegal
until the attack-hit is complete. WHAT DOES THIS
NOW MEAN?
32

• A play where the ball is entirely above the
  height of the net and the back row setter and
  opposing blocker both contact the ball means
  there must be a whistle. (USAV Rule)
• Possible outcomes are
• Back row attack (setter touched it before
  blocker)
• Back row block (blocker touched it before setter)
• Blocker reaching over (ball had not penetrated
  the plane of the net)

33
RULE CHANGES 2005 RULE 17-2-3-a, PAGE
74 TOURNAMENT PROTEST PROCEDURE In tournament
situations where the match schedule is dependent
on the result of previous matches, there should
be a protest committee or interpreter to make
final decisions on protests. Play is suspended
while the facts are recorded or relayed to the
committee or interpreter, who then makes a
decision on the protest. This decision will be
final.
34
RULE CHANGES 2005 RULE 17-2-5, PAGE 75 PROTESTED
GAME If the protesting team wins the game in
which the protest is made, the protest is then
nullified. If the team wins the protested game
but later loses the match, there is no basis for
protest because the team won the protested game.
Regardless of the outcome of the match, the facts
of the protest must be forwarded to the NCAA
secretary-rules editor for review.
35
RULE CHANGES 2005 RULE 18-3-7-a, PAGE 81 R2
RESPONSIBILTY DURING PLAY 7. Contact of the ball
with the floor or with overhead or floor
obstructions that are out of play if the first
referee is not in position to see the
contact. SPECIAL NOTE The R2 should whistle and
stop play when he/she clearly sees the ball
contact the floor and the R1 is unable to make
that determination.

  loses the first game by default.
• (INCORRECT) (I)
• 2. Three players on Team A have shorts that
  display a small manufacturers logo, while the
  rest of the players shorts display a different
  small manufacturers logo. The uniforms are
  identical in all other aspects. The referees
  allow the three players to participate in the
  match.
• (CORRECT) (C)

• (I)

73
PRACTICE QUESTIONS (CONT.)
4. S3 makes Team Ss first team contact, then the
ball is played simultaneously by S5 and S6. After
the simultaneous contact, the ball is played by
S6, who sends the ball over the net into Team Rs
playing area. The first referee allows play to
continue. C 5. Due to unsporting conduct, Team
Rs 12 is sanctioned with an individual
misconduct penalty. At the time of the penalty,
Team R leads by a score of 15-10. The sanction
results in a loss of rally for Team R, making the
score 15-11. The scorekeeper enters the sanction
information in the Sanctions section of the
scoresheet, noting the score as 15-10. C 6. When
a player is disqualified, the scorekeeper notes
this in the Comment section of the scoresheet and
records a point for the opposing team. C
74
PRACTICE QUESTIONS (CONT.)
7. The visiting team designated 5 as the libero
on the lineup sheet for Games 1 and 2, but did
not designate a libero on the lineup sheet for
Game 3. In the third game, 5 enters the game as
the libero, replacing 6. The second referee
immediately whistles, requires 6 to replace 5,
and assesses a team delay to the visiting
team. C 8. While in the front zone, S6 contacts
the ball while it is completely above the height
of the net, setting it toward S3. The ball enters
the plane of the net, where it is blocked by R3
and continues into Team Rs playing area. The
first referee allows play to continue. I 9. In
Game 2, substitutes from Team R practice ball
handling on an adjacent court that is not
scheduled for play. The referees allow this
action. I
75
PRACTICE QUESTIONS (CONT.)
10. Team S becomes incomplete during a game
because a player is disqualified and a legal
substitution cannot be made. The referees rule
that the team loses the game by default but
retains all points scored in that game. C 11.
While contacting the ball for service, the server
for Team S steps on but not over the short line
marking the side boundary of the service area.
The first referee whistles and indicates a foot
fault on the server. I 12. At the end of each
game, the second referee signs the scoresheet to
verify the score. I 13. Team S chooses not to use
the court during their final warm-up period. The
referees state that the court will remain vacant
during that time. C
76
PRACTICE QUESTIONS (CONT.)
14. At the end of the interval between Games 1
and 2, the second referee instructs the teams to
line up on their respective end lines. I 15. A
volleyball match that is scheduled to start at
900 follows a basketball game that was not
completed until 845. The referees state that the
full 60-minute warm-up protocol must be
followed. I 16. During play, the second referee
clearly sees a ball contact the floor on Team Rs
side of the court. Due to the position of the
players around the ball, the first referee is not
able to see the contact. The second referee
whistles to end the rally, signals that the ball
contacted the floor, and Team S wins the rally. C
77
PRACTICE QUESTIONS (CONT.)
17. During warm-up, the referees notice that one
of the players on Team B is wearing an illegal
uniform. After verifying that the player does not
have a legal uniform, the referees ask the Team A
coach if Team A will file a protest regarding the
uniform fault. I 18. The head coach for Team S
turns in the line-up sheet at the appropriate
time before the start of the first game. As the
teams are directed to the end lines before the
match starts, the coach asks that one of the
starting players be replaced due to illness. The
second referee informs the coach that a
substitution will have to be used to replace the
starter. C
78
PRACTICE QUESTIONS (CONT.)
19. The captain for Team S requests a
substitution. As the substitute enters the
substitution zone, the second referee notices
that the incoming player is wearing jewelry. The
second referee denies the substitution request
and signals the first referee to issue a team
delay to Team S. C 20. R1s pass is the first
team contact. While in the front zone, Team Rs
libero contacts the ball while it is below the
height of the net and sends the ball toward R4
using an overhand finger pass. R4 swings and
completely misses the ball, which lands on Team
Ss court. The first referee whistles and signals
illegal attack by Team R. I
