The lineups are entered on the Libero Tracking Sheet the same as they are entered on the Scoresheet c VisitorHome 23 24c

The lineups are entered on the Libero Tracking Sheet the same as they are entered on the scoresheet c VisitorHome 23 24c The Libero Tracker tracks the libero replacements and all substitutions. For example, if Visitor requests a substitution, #6 for #5, the Libero Tracker would record that action by slashing the “5” and writing a “6” immediately to the right of the of the slashed “5.” 6

The lineups are entered on the Libero Tracking Sheet the same as they are entered on the scoresheet c VisitorHome 23 24c The Libero Tracker tracks the Libero replacements and all substitutions. For example, if East requests a substitution, #7 for #5, the libero tracker would record that action by slashing the “5” and writing a “7” immediately to the right of the of the slashed “5”. 6 After the next rally, the Home Libero, #30, replaces #26. This exchange is recorded in a similar fashion, except an “L” used to indicate the libero’s entry. L26

c VisitorHome 23 24c L Only #26 may re-enter the set for the libero; a proper replacement results in the same number being entered on both the left and right of the “L” on the tracking sheet. The Libero Tracker must notify the second referee immediately if an improper libero replacement occurs. 26

The lineups are entered on the Libero Tracking Sheet the same as they are entered on the scoresheet c VisitorHome 23 24c The Libero Tracker tracks the Libero replacements and all substitutions. For example, if East requests a substitution, #7 for #5, the libero tracker would record that action by slashing the “5” and writing a “7” immediately to the right of the of the slashed “5”. 7 After the next rally, the West Libero, #13, replaces #26. This exchange is recorded in a similar fashion, except an “L” used to indicate the libero’s entry. L26 Remember – the last numbers written on each line of the Libero Tracking Sheet should always reflect the six players that are on the court.

What if a team does not have a Libero? No tracking will take place for that team. Note: A different libero may be designated for each set, but the designation must be made on the lineup sheet when it is submitted to the official scorer before the set.

c VisitorHome 23 24c The West libero replaces #23 to serve. L In addition to recording the libero exchanges, the libero tracker must note the serving position of the libero to help ensure that the libero only serves in one position in each set. When a libero contacts the ball to serve, a triangle is drawn around the corresponding Roman numeral in the “Serving Order” column to note that this is the only service position where the libero can serve for the remainder of that set..

Wishing you a Great Volleyball Season!!!
