volleyball game - Libero Replacements

19.3.2	Libero Replacements
19.3.2.1	Libero Replacements are not counted as substitutions.	6.1.3, 15.5
	They are unlimited but there must be a completed rally between two Libero replacements (unless a penalty causes the team to rotate and the Libero to move to position four, or the Acting Libero becomes unable to play, making the rally incomplete.)
19.3.2.2	The regular replacement player may replace and be replaced by either Libero. The Acting Libero can only be replaced by the regular replacement player for that position or by the second Libero.
19.3.2.3	At the start of each set, the Libero cannot enter the court until the 2nd referee has checked the line-up and authorised a Libero replacement with a starting player.	7.3.2, 12.1
19.3.2.4	Other Libero replacements must only take place while the ball is out of play and before the whistle for service.	8.2, 12.3
19.3.2.5	A Libero replacement made after the whistle for service but before the service hit should not be rejected; however, at the end of the rally, the game captain must be informed that this is not a permitted procedure, and that repetition will be subject to delay sanctions.	12.3, 12.4, D9
19.3.2.6	Subsequent late Libero replacements shall result in the play being interrupted immediately, and the imposition of a delay sanction. The team to serve next will be determined by the level of the delay sanction.	16.2, D9
19.3.2.7	The Libero and the replacing player may only enter or leave the court through the Libero Replacement Zone.	1.4.4, D1b
19.3.2.8	Libero replacements must be recorded in the Libero Control Sheet (if one is used) or on the electronic score sheet.	26.2.2.1, 26.2.2.2
19.3.2.9	An illegal Libero replacement can involve (amongst others)
	- no completed rally between Libero replacements,	6.1.3
	- the Libero being replaced by a player other than the second Libero or the regular replacement player.	15.9
	An illegal Libero replacement should be considered in the same way as an illegal substitution:	15.9
	should the illegal Libero replacement be noticed before the start of the next rally, then this is corrected by the referees, and the team is sanctioned for delay;	D9
	should the illegal Libero replacement be noticed after the service hit, the consequences are the same as for an illegal substitution.	15.9
