Overlap check for rotation 1
At the moment of the serve, each front-row player must be closer to the net than the back-row player directly behind them (S1 ahead of OH1, MB2 ahead of MB1, OH2 ahead of S2), and each row must stay in order left to right (front: S1, MB2 and OH2; back: OH1, MB1 and S2). Every formation on this page follows these rules.
