A team may designate new Liberos for the deciding set regardless of how many Liberos they had earlier in the match.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Only if the other team agrees

Answer: (B)

Liberos are specialized defensive players who wear a different colored jersey, and only one libero can be on the court for a team at a time. The libero designation is tied to a specific player and follows the substitution rules established for the match; you can’t simply appoint a brand-new libero just for the deciding set regardless of who played libero earlier. The team must continue with the libero already designated (or substitute in accordance with the standard libero-substitution procedure). That’s why the statement is not correct.
