5 JUDGEMENT IMPOSSIBLE

COMPETITION/ CONTROL AREA

The Competition / Control Area is a corridor around the playing court and free zone, which includes all spaces up to the outer barriers or delimitation fence. See diagram/fig 1a.

ZONES

These are sections within the playing area (i.e. playing court and free zone) as defined for a specific purpose (or with special restrictions) within the rule text. These include: Front Zone, Service Zone, Substitution Zone, Free Zone, Back Zone, and Libero Replacement Zone.

AREAS

These are sections of the floor OUTSIDE the free zone, identified by the rules as having a specific function. These include: warm-up area and penalty area.

LOWER SPACE

This is the space defined at its upper part by the bottom of the net and the cord joining it to the posts, at the sides by the posts, and the bottom by the playing surface.

CROSSING SPACE

The crossing space is defined by:

- The horizontal band at the top of the net

- The antennae and their extension

- The ceiling

The ball must cross to the opponent's COURT through the crossing space.

EXTERNAL SPACE

The external space is in the vertical plane of the net outside of the crossing and lower spaces.

SUBSTITUTION ZONE

This is the part of the free zone through which substitutions are carried out.

UNLESS BY AGREEMENT OF FIVB

This statement recognizes that while there are regulations on the standards and specification of equipment and facilities, there are occasions when special arrangements can be made by FIVB in order to promote the game of Volleyball or to test new conditions.

FIVB STANDARDS

The technical specifications or limits as defined by FIVB to the manufacturers of equipment.

PENALTY AREA

In each half of the competition/control area, there is a Penalty Area located behind the prolongation of the end line, outside the free zone, which should be placed a minimum of 1.5 metres behind the rear edge of the bench.

FAULT

a) A playing action contrary to the rules.

b) A rule violation other than a playing action.

DRIBBLING

Dribbling means bouncing the ball (usually as a preparation to tossing and serving). Other preparatory actions could include (amongst others) moving the ball from hand to hand.

TECHNICAL TIME-OUT

This special mandatory time-out is, in addition to time-outs, to allow the promotion of Volleyball, analysis of the play and to allow additional commercial opportunities. Technical Time-Outs are mandatory for FIVB, World and Official competitions.

BALL RETRIEVERS

These are personnel whose job it is to maintain the flow of the game by rolling the ball to the server between rallies.

RALLY POINT

This is the system of scoring a point whenever a rally is won.

INTERVAL

The time between sets. The change of courts in the 5^th (deciding) set is not to be regarded as an interval.

RE-DESIGNATION

This is the act by which a Libero, who cannot continue or is declared by the team " unable to play", has his/her role taken by any other player (except the regular replacement player) not on the court at the moment of the re-designation.

REPLACEMENT

This is the act by which a regular player leaves the court and either Libero (if more than one) takes his/her place. This can even include Libero for Libero exchanges. The regular player can then replace either Libero. There must be a completed rally between replacements involving any Libero.

INTERFERING

Any action which will create an advantage against the opponent team or any action which prevents an opponent from playing the ball.

OUTSIDE OBJECT

An object or a person which while outside the playing court or close to the limit of the free playing space provides an obstruction to the flight of the ball. For example: overhead lights, the referee's chair, TV equipment, scorer's table, and net posts. Outside objects do not include the antennae since they are considered as the part of the net.

SUBSTITUTION

This is the act by which one regular player leaves the court and another regular player takes his/ her place.
