The rotation  of a team in relation to the rotation of the opposing team and the possession of the service is called match-up.  There are practically 72 combinations  for starting rotations (lineups) for the teams that result  in  6 match-ups.  Each match-up has 12 match scenarios (6 concerning reception/attack and 6 concerning serve/block). In each set, each team plays a specific match-up.  


Each match-up of the teams corresponds to individual match-ups of players. 

For example in matchup: M+1   the Middle Blocker MB1  tries for block against  MB1 of the opposing team in all (3) rotations. In contrast, in matchup: M#  MB1  tries for block against  the other Middle Blocker called MB2  in all rotations.   The coach can thus start in any rotation by checking the match–up with the opponent. If he also knows the habits of the opposing coach (in which rotation he starts) he can work out a match scenario that will lead him to victory by “locking” a certain match-up for the whole match.

Analyze all the matchups, choose the right line-up and win the game!
