Rotational Positions



All directions are as if standing with your back at the net

Rotational Positions are numbered areas of the court. These areas are numbered counter-clockwise starting with the back left. At the beginning of the game, players are "lined-up" into these areas and checked by a ref (R2) to confirm they are in their correct position.

Note: The proximity to the other players is the critical consideration, not actually where the player stands. For example:
 * 1 must be to the left of 6
 * 5 must be to the right of 6
 * 2 must be to the left of 3
 * 4 must be to the right of 3
 * 1 must be behind 2
 * 6 must be behind 3
 * 5 must be behind 4

The proximity of the players to each other is also "watched" by both Ref's (R1 & R2) at the moment of the servers contact with the ball. Players cannot be "overlapped". But after the servers contact with the ball they are allowed to move (switch) positions.
