Teams are allowed to select 0, 1, or 2 Liberos when submitting their line-up for the first set.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only 1 is allowed
• D. Only 0 or 2 are allowed

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that the libero is a special defensive player and the lineup rules allow Teams to designate libero roles in flexible ways. A team may have up to two players on its roster designated as liberos, and you submit the lineup for the first set with the libero(s) you intend to use. Because of that, you can enter zero liberos (no one designated as libero), one libero (a single starting libero), or two liberos (designating a backup as well). Remember that only one libero can be on the court at a time, and you switch liberos through the substitution rules. So the statement is true because the rules permit zero, one, or two liberos to be listed for the first-set lineup.
