When a back-row player touches the ball while blocking, it is a fault. 2. “Front/back-row player” are standard terms used many times in the rules (there are many limitations based on the position, but that would be a different question), they depend on the rotational order (position at the moment of service); and in this specific case, nothing else would make any logical sense ;-) [no “player currently in back row” is logically/physically able to intercept the ball above the net, isn’t he/she?] | |

Furthermore does front row refer to the "player's position" or the "position the player is in" (hope that makes sense)? | |
