Question

Play a Volleyball match between two teams of your class. Use libero, substitutions and time outs as per rules.

Answer 1

Organise and play the match according to these rules:

1. Form two teams of up to 12 players each. Six players from each team begin on court, and each team identifies its captain and up to two specialist liberos.
2. Before each set, submit the starting line-up and maintain its rotational order. When the receiving team wins the right to serve, its players rotate one position clockwise.
3. A team may use a maximum of three hits, in addition to a block, to return the ball. A point is scored when the ball lands in the opponent’s court or the opponent commits a fault.
4. Each team may request up to two time-outs of 30 seconds and make up to six substitutions per set. A starting player may leave and re-enter only once in that set, and may return only to the player’s original position in the line-up.
5. The libero wears a contrasting uniform and may replace a back-row player. Libero replacements are unlimited and do not count as substitutions, but a rally must be completed between replacements. The libero may not serve, block or attempt to block, or complete an attack hit when the ball is entirely above the top of the net at contact.
6. A set is won by the first team to reach 25 points with a lead of at least two points. The match is won by the team that wins three sets. If the match is tied at two sets each, the fifth set is played to 15 points, with a two-point lead required.
