7. In accordance with the spirit of international competitions and to encourage longer rallies and spectacular actions, only the most obvious violations will be whistled. Therefore, when a player is not in a very good position to play the ball, the first referee will be less severe in his/her judgement of ball handling faults. For example:
7.1 The setter running to play the ball or forced to make a very quick action to reach the ball in order to set.
7.2 The players are forced to run or make very quick actions to play a ball after it has rebounded from the block or from another player.
1.1 The first team contact may be freely made except if the player catches or throws the ball.
