In rotation 6 of the 6-2, setter 2 starts in position 5 (left back). Setter 2 is in the back row and sets, so all three front-row players (middle blocker 1, outside hitter 1 and setter 1) can attack. Setter 1 hits from the right side, like an opposite. The middle blocker 2 serves.

Overlap check for rotation 6
At the moment of the serve, each front-row player must be closer to the net than the back-row player directly behind them (MB1 ahead of S2, OH1 ahead of OH2, S1 ahead of MB2), and each row must stay in order left to right (front: MB1, OH1 and S1; back: S2, OH2 and MB2). Every formation on this page follows these rules.
