Question

During a volleyball match, a player from Team A executes a serve. The ball travels over the net and lands on the service line of Team B’s court. ‘What should be the Referee’s decision in this situation?

Answer 1

A ball that touches a boundary line is considered “good” (in).

Therefore, the referee should award the rally to Team A. Under modern rally scoring that means Team A receives a point; under the old side‑out system Team A wins the rally and (at least) gains/keeps the right to serve. If a line judge signalled the call, the officials’ decision stands unless the referee is certain it was clearly wrong.
