2. DURING THE MATCH

REPLAY:

The host broadcaster can ask for a "replay delay", from the first referee after the end of a rally if the necessary

installations are made and agreed by the organiser and the CEV technical delegate/supervisor.

The necessary installation is an electrical lamp fixed in front of the first referee, linked to the host broadcaster

representative who gives a signal by switching on the lamp for a slight delay for an instant replay of a previous

action.

This process can be used no more than five [5] times per set and cannot delay the match between rallies by more

than seven [7] seconds each time.

INTERVALS (Rule 18):

Teams:

- At the end of each set, the six players of each team on court at that time line up on the end line of their respective

courts.

- At the direction of the first referee, the teams change courts (Rule 18.2.1); as the players pass the net posts they

go directly to their team benches.

Scorer:

- As soon as one of the referees blows his/her whistle to end the last rally of the set, the scorer must begin timing

the set interval.

- At 2:30m, the second referee blows his/her whistle or the scorer presses the buzzer.

Teams at 2:30m:

- At the direction of the second referee, the six [6] players registered on the line-up sheet go directly onto the

playing court.

Referees at 2:30m:

respective line-up sheet.

courtside assistants (ball retrievers and floor moppers) who are lined up along the end of each court.

- The players leave the playing court and walk to their respective team bench.

Referees:

- Both referees position themselves on the side line at the net by first referee’s stand. After shaking hands with the

players they must report to the scorer's table to complete their post-match administration.

- Remark:

- The referees' work is still not complete! They must monitor the behaviour of the teams after the final

whistle for the end of the match to ensure all participants behave in a sportsmanlike way until all

participants have left the playing area and control areas in the competition hall.

- All unsportsmanlike behaviour after the final whistle must be reported to the CEV technical

delegate/supervisor and noted on the score sheet under "REMARKS". If necessary, a special report

must be made by both referees and posted/emailed to the CEV office and the President of ERC within

2. DURING THE MATCH

REPLAY:

The host broadcaster can ask for a "replay delay", from the first referee after the end of a rally if

the necessary installations are made and agreed by the Organiser and the Jury President.

The necessary installation is an electrical lamp fixed in front of the first referee, linked to the

host broadcaster representative who gives a signal by switching on the lamp for a slight delay

for an instant replay of a previous action.

This process can be used approximately 8 times per set and cannot delay the match between

rallies by more than 7 seconds each time.


Teams:

- At the end of each set, the six players of each team line up on the end line of their respective

courts.

- At the direction of the first referee, the teams change courts (Rule 18.2.1); as the players pass

the net poles they go directly to their team bench.

- The interval between the second and the third sets can be extended up to ten minutes by the

competent body at the request of the organiser (Rule 18.1). In this case the teams must go to

their dressing rooms after the second set and return to the playing area 7 minutes later,

where there can be a warm up of 2 minutes 30 seconds near the net.
