(request should be made to R2 before R1 beckons for serve)
• Signal official time-out (hands on
shoulders)

the requesting team
• Start with that number on your card and
verify proper order from there
• If they are not in the correct order,
place them in the correct order

Other marks on the card
• Consider recording the score when the
time out is called
Put requesting team score first and record on
the that team’s side of your line-up card
• During time-out
Verify score sheet has same subs as you do
Count and record count on your lineup card
Initial score sheet at point of time-out in case
we need to correct anything later
At end of game
• Note on next line-up card who won the
previous game and the match game count
You’ll be amazed how often you forget who won
the previous game when you’re at 23-22 in the
current game
