Changes to volleyball rules and their impact on the sport's entertainment value

The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of changes to volleyball rules on the sport's entertainment value. Research methods: qualitative analysis of existing records and documents. Research results and conclusions. It has been revealed that the introduction of rules aimed at making volleyball more spectacular and media-friendly has achieved its objectives by reducing game time, utilizing the transition to the rally-point scoring system, and minimizing game interruptions. The introduction of the libero player, originally intended to enhance defense, has also increased the efficiency of attacks. Ultimately, this rule has failed to rectify the imbalance between offense and defense, which is a prerequisite for ensuring the spectacle of the game.
