Dummy down or not, I really appreciate the step by step explanation! Please keep them coming! I’m a 3yr Referee and need the case of violations

For viewers outside the US it might be worth noting that the FIVB rules have some different definitions: - A rotational fault happens when the service is not made in the correct order (so this can only happen for the serving team), a positional one if any team is not lined up correctly. - A back-row player "must be level with or have at least a part of one foot further from the center line than the front foot of the corresponding front-row player" (to quote the 2021-24 rules). So as long as this is the case, having a foot closer to the center line than the front-row player is fine. (Same for the left/right lineup.)

Thus training is way over explaining this. According to the rotation lineup if any player, based on rotation position, crosses over the player in front of or back of them or right or left of them, it’s an overlap.

The determination of whether somebody is "in front" of another is out of date. This was changed in the latest iteration of the FIVB rules.
