On this slide, it is good to point out that subs often happen quickly after a side-out. The scorekeeper can keep a space for the side-out point, record the substitution, and then go back and fill in the space and make the appropriate marks in the running score.
On her next attempt to serve, the East Libero commits a foot fault. West immediately requests and is granted a substitution: #6 enters for #13

There has been some question about whether to put T or Tx in the scoring section for an unnecessary delay. This is not addressed in the rules or case manual. It is safe to say that the comment about illegal equipment with the score is sufficient documentation to explain the time out.
The East coach requests and is granted a substitution. #12 enters for #6. East #12 is found to have earrings in her ears. The R1 issues an unnecessary delay.

33. RECORDING COMMENTS See p. 117 of Case Manual
Action – Player – Score (offending team first)
Warning (Yellow Card) – PW #12 (7-6)
Penalty (Red Card) – P1 #3 (7-0)
Disqualification – DQ #10 (4-14)
Illegal Equipment/Uniform: E #10 (9-9)
Redesignated Libero: RL #10 (12-13)
Exceptional Substitution: ES #20 (15-14)
Progressive sanctions and sanctions in effect for the remainder of the match should be re-copied on scoresheets for all subsequent sets of the match.
Progressive sanctions include: PW (penalty warning), DQ, equipment violation. Also carry over “unconscious player” comments to ensure player does not attempt to re-enter without written permission from a physician. No need to carry over exceptional substitution since it is limited to one set. When carrying over sanctions, include in which set the sanction occurred

An illegal substitution results in an unnecessary delay (time-out). There are no marks to make on the scoresheet, aside from recording the time-out. The illegal substitution does not count as one of the 18 allowable subs.
More questions were raised about not making marks (T or Tx) on the sheet. Unlike the equipment violation, the illegal substitution is not marked anywhere on the scoresheet, so the resulting time out (due to unnecessary delay) seems to come from nowhere. A person reading over the set would not know why a time out was marked at without being marked in the scoring section as T or Tx. Some clinicians say that they will write illegal substitutions in the comments section. The rules do not say to mark illegal substitutions in the comments section, but to document the time out, it might not be a bad idea.
PW Head Coach (9-9)

East #1 serves… for a side-out East requests and is granted a substitution: #8 enters the match for #1 The R1 issues an unnecessary delay to East.

39. ILLEGAL SUBSTITUTIONS
Sub doesn’t follow substitution procedure
Sub is not listed on the roster
Sub tries to re-enter the set during the same dead ball
Sub was previously replaced by exceptional sub in that set
Sub would be the team’s 19th substitution
Sub does not assume previous position in serving order (unless exceptional sub)

If the player is removed for concussion management or due to loss of consciousness, then the player may not return for the MATCH unless there is a signed note from a health care professional.

50. EXCEPTIONAL SUBSTITUTIONS
Injured/ill player
Team has used 18 subs already OR
No legal substitute is available (i.e. all bench players have already played in other serving positions)

Discussion here can be:
No sideout point was given to the East team. Sideout point would be #11, then two serves are 12 and 13, so East coach is correct.
-Perhaps there was not supposed to be a circle around point 11 (for the sideout point). In which case the score really is
Assuming the scorekeeper is making circles for each serve and doesn’t miss a serve, then the former option is the likely scenario. Or perhaps the scorer or an official can remember how many times #1 served the ball.
Y Head Coach (9-9)
The East coach requests a score check. East believes the score should be 13-10, not What happened?
