New Libero rule for the upcoming season (From the DCR - rule book)

19.1.1 Each team has the right to designate from the list of players up to two (2) specialized defensive players: Liberos

19.1.2 All Liberos must be recorded on the scoresheet before the match in the special lines reserved for this.

19.1.3 One Libero designated by the coach before the start of the match will be the starting Libero. The Libero on court is the Acting Libero. If there is another Libero, he/she will act as the second Libero.

19.1.4 Only one Libero may be on court at any time.

19.1.5 The Libero cannot be either team captain or game captain at the same time as performing the Libero function.

In a USAV event

This new rule means you may designate up to 2 Liberos.

1. You may designate 2 liberos, only one, or none but any decision is for the entire match.

The libero may not serve.

In Pioneer Region sanctioned events

1. The coach may designate 2 liberos, only one, or none and may change the libero(s) every set

2. The libero may serve. If you have 2 liberos they may only serve in one position of the service rotation.

Ex: Libero #1 goes in to serve for the player in service position #3. That is now the only position that either libero will now be allowed to serve in. This means that there would be 3 players that could legally serve in position #3, Libero #1, Libero #2 and the player in position #3. Yes and also if you wanted to make a substitution for player in position #3 that player could serve also.

REMEMBER THIS IS ONLY FOR EVENTS IN THE PIONEER REGION. You will have to check the rules when you go out of region to play. Also any Nationally sanctioned USAV event, such as the qualifiers, the liberos will be for the match and will not be allowed to serve.
