The Rules - your opinion, suggestion

  • I see Australia used new system in match:


    * 5 sets

    * to 18 pts


    This is test or will be used in every match ?

  • I think I had that rule in my last year of playing amateur volleyball (2020), and as far as I remember it's easier to forget your rotation this way (for newbies tho, not me and I expect pro's to have no problems either :lol:) But I kinda liked it because it saves running time/energy :saint: I'm curious how this rule will be received on high level and if perhaps we will see it implemented in more places later on!

  • FIVB asked PVF to experiment with rules.


    On serve, teams don't have to stand in rotation. They can just be in their designated position. (OH in 4, MB in 3, S/Opp in 2, etc)


    (only on serve, not receive)

    What's the added value of this rule do you think?


    By the way this rule already exists in Dutch regional leagues

    it may free up the middle of the court (on the service side) for the serve receive team. We all know that teams put all of the players in the middle of the court to move to their preferred defensive positions and teams can also use that to “shield” the server. Some teams would shift the “shield” to one side of the court depending on the service tactic.

    They can still do the 'shielding' it is not prevented. So it is not a gain for neither of the teams

  • Never mind.. looks like they're going to be FIVB wide rule changes.


    1. serving team wont be called for rotation faults (they can be in any position)

    2. Clarifies that pursuit to the other side of the net/opponents side will only be allowed after the first contract. They cant attempt it after the second contact and the point will be immediately be considered a fault if the ball crosses into opponent territory outside the antenna. (makes sense, that ball cant go over anyways). Also clarifies opponents cannot interfere with the action after the first contact.

    3. You can no longer have your arms over your head when your team is serving (as to screen your opponents)

    (these are all subject to how good/bad my spanish is lol)

  • Starting to look more like 9-Ball. Soon players will be able to pass the ball to themselves off the net, and take a mulligan after a service error :drink:
