Re: Libero setting from front zone "extension"

I see. But that's a USAV specialty, right? I was actually wondering
about FIVB rules (I'm in Germany), sorry I didn't point that out more
clearly. FIVB certainly allows playing the ball from behind the bench,
spectator areas etc., it's all just "beyond the free zone".

But back to the original question - after all, USAV allows players to
retrieve the ball from there as well, albeit with more restrictions.
To make sure I'm understanding correctly: According to the definition
in 1.4.1, the front zone consists of the areas A and B in the diagram
below. Since B is therefore already *part* of the front zone, I don't
think it is meant when 19.3.1.4 mentions an *extension* of the front
zone, but that that would in fact have to be area C. Correct?
