SET

REMEMBER

• If a team has not written down a libero number on their lineup sheet, they will not have a libero for that set.

• Ask the R2 to double-check with that team.

• NO LIBERO LISTED = NO LIBERO

• They may still have one for another set – but only if they write down a libero number on the lineup for that set.

• Madison scores two points (points 1 and 2) on #2's serve then they lose the rally

• The loss of rally sign looks like this

SCORING IS DEMANDING

• Scoring correctly is very demanding and will take all of your concentration.

• It is particularly important that you have an accurate scoresheet that contains all of the necessary information.

• Try to be quick and efficient, but don’t hesitate to tell your R2 if you need something explained or need more time.

TRY TO BE NEAT

• The scoresheet will start to get crowded with numbers and squares and triangles

• The scoresheet will get more crowded with substitutions and time-outs

• TRY TO BE NEAT

• IT IS BETTER TO TAKE YOUR TIME AND TELL THE R2 YOU ARE NOT READY YET, THAN TO BE SLOPPY

• Madison scores one point (point 6) on Adams #42’s serve (put this in a box)

• Madison substitutes #58 for #6

REMEMBER

• Mark the scoresheet in three (3) places for every substitution:

• 1 - player number (add the new number)• 2 - box score (put S or Sx and player numbers)• 3 - substitutions (put a hash mark)

• Madison’s libero (#23) replaces #8 (not a substitution) to serve.

• Put a triangle around serving position 4 to show this is the only place the libero can serve.

• Adams substitutes #30 for #7 (Sx)

ASK IF YOU NEED TO

• Ask the R2 “What just happened?” if you don’t know.

• Don’t ever guess what happened

• If the R2 doesn’t explain what happened and there is a serve, make sure you find out what happened at the next dead ball.

• You MUST know what’s going on all the time.

REMEMBER

• Anything that happens during a player’s term of service is marked in the boxes following that player’s number – even if it is something the other team does.

• Substitutions (Sx and the player’s numbers)• Timeouts (Tx) • Penalties (P and the player’s number)

REMEMBER

• You are the OFFICIAL scorer

• You are part of the officiating team with the R1 and R2

• Your score is the correct score!

• So…

• Always do your best and

• Ask the R2 for help if you need it.

AND ANOTHER THING…• For Set #2 and later, teams are listed on

the same side of the scoresheet as the side of the court they are on.

• When the libero goes back to serve and doesn’t leave the court there must be a double replacement of other players. This is not a substitution and you don’t have to mark anything unless the replacement player has never been in the game before. Tell that to the R2.
