5.5 Can a Libero replacement take place at the same time as a substitution?
5.5 Can a Libero replacement take place at the same time as a substitution?
Yes – because the “replacement” is not a “substitution” and vice versa. Rules 15.3.2, 19.3.2, 19.3.2.8
5.6 The Libero replacing the player in position 1 did it after the referee’s whistle for service but before the service hit. What is the proper response by the 1st referee?
5.6 The Libero replacing the player in position 1 did it after the referee’s whistle for service but before the service hit. What is the proper response by the 1st referee?
If this was the first occurrence in the match, the 1st referee should allow the rally to continue uninterrupted. After the rally, he/she should advise the game captain that this is not a correct procedure. Subsequent late replacements should trigger delay sanctions immediately, interrupting the rally. The Libero replacement remains valid, however.
If the replacement has been made after the service hit, the 1st referee should whistle this as a positional fault. Rule 19.3.2.5
5.24 A team had 2 Liberos recorded, No. 11 and 16. The latter wore a shirt with the same colour and design as the normal players of the team. The team requested a substitution and the player No. 16 appeared in the substitution zone to substitute a player on court. The scorer immediately signalled that this request was not a legal one. How should the game continue?

How should the game continue?
The Libero has no right to take part either by legal, or exceptional substitution. Therefore, the substitution request should be considered as an illegal one. Because this was discovered before the game resumed, the request should be denied and a delay sanction should be issued for the faulty team. The Libero has to change his/her shirt, however. The referees should control carefully the teams and the players’ uniform comparing the players and shirt numbers before the match in due time in order to avoid such a situation. Rule 15.5.1, 15.7, 16.1.3, 19.2
5.26 Receiving a fake attack by the setter of team B the ball was played with the fingers of one hand over the head by the Libero of team A standing in the front zone. This ball was spiked by a teammate completely over the height of the net in the moment of the hit. What is the consideration of the judgement, if this action was legal or illegal?

This ball was spiked by a teammate completely over the height of the net in the moment of the hit. What is the consideration of the judgement, if this action was legal or illegal?
Based on the approach of the rule, if the Libero’s action is done with opened fingers like a classical, intentional set, it is considered as a fault. However, if the Libero protects the body/face instead of setting, it should be a legal play. Rule 13.3.6.,19.3.1.4
