Officiating

USAV Indoor Rules Book (2021-23) - (PDF)

Officiating Requirements:
Teams are required to have players capable of officiating a match. An officiating team is required to have a 1st referee, a 2nd referee, 2 line judges and 2 score keepers to do the manual and visual scores.

Uniforms:
All players must wear a jersey with a number on either the front or the back. Jerseys do not need to match but numbers should be non-duplicated. If a team does not have matching uniforms then the Libero should not have a number so they are easier to identify. Since the libero is the only player that does not need a number, if a player does not have a number they will be designated as the Libero.

Reasons for Numbered Uniforms
1. For line ups;
2. It would be nearly impossible for teams to identify a libero without some uniform or number requirements and it’s already confusing in how they sub in and out;
3. It helps an opposing team to be able to call out which players are in the front row by the number on their jersey;
4. It is helpful in the event of misconduct to identify a player by their number.

Teams will forfeit 5 points per game for each player excluding the libero that is not wearing a number.

Score Sheet and Line Ups:
Teams are now required to list line ups for score keepers to track servers and list time outs. The current score sheets have areas to record time outs and the line up. Officiating teams should be recording both and doing a line up check at the beginning of the game. If the server for each team is / (slashed), x’ed, and then circled the score keeper should be able to track the server for at least three rotations.
