CLARIFICATION ON LIBERO TRACKER: *Regular Season Libero Tracking: The home team will provide an official scorer and Libero tracker to track the Libero players for both teams at all regular season games. *Tournament Libero Tracking: The NHIAA will provide an official scorer and Libero tracker for all semifinal and final rounds of the volleyball tournament. For the preliminary and quarterfinal rounds, the higher seeded team will provide an official scorer and Libero tracker to track the Libero player for both teams. *Note: If in the event the home team cannot provide a Libero tracker the visiting team may provide a Libero tracker for the match. P&P CHANGES CONTINUED:

All tournaments, jamborees, festivals and similar competition in volleyball must be sanctioned by the Volleyball Committee of the NHIAA.
