2004 NCAA VOLLEYBALL RULE CHANGES
REVIEW Media Equipment and Personnel. - Under the old rule, media equipment and personnel were restricted from a 2-meter area around the court and from the playing area between the two attack lines extended. The rule was changed to establish the media area as within one meter of the boundary defining the playable area, and to clarify that media is not allowed in front of the team benches or between the attack lines on the bench side of the court.
Y Libero Serving. - The original intent of the libero position was to create a defensive ball-handling specialist. By allowing the libero to serve, a
OR team will be able to put their best six players on the court for a larger percentage of the game, and individual players are given another T opportunity to play. This rules change will allow the libero player to serve in one position designated for the game. Coaches must still desig-
HIS nate the number of the libero player before the game, but can designate the rotation the libero will serve in at any time during the game.
Libero Serving. - The current rule states that there must be a rally between two libero replacements. To allow the libero to serve, an exception will be made to this ruling. The libero will be allowed to replace the server without leaving the game for a rally.
Libero Uniform. - The language describing the libero's uniform has been modified to require the libero to wear a uniform shirt or jacket that is immediately recognized from all angles as being in clear contrast to and distinct from the other members of the team. Any color that appears on more than 25 percent of the body of the non-libero team members' uniform may not be the principal color of the libero's uni- form. In determining the body of the uniforms, the sleeves and collar should be ignored. RECORDS
Contact with the ball. - Contact with the ball made only by hair is usually insignificant contact and should be ignored. Adding this language would be consistent with other parts of the rules book.
Player contact with the net. - The language regarding player faults at the net has been clarified regarding insignificant contact that should not be penalized. Some actions of play may include actions in which players do not actually touch the ball (i.e., players faking an attack hit or attempting to block), but there is insignificant net contact. MEDIA
