Answer 3

It stands for Opposite.  It is usually for a 5-1, but sometimes in a 6-2.

It is the player that plays opposite the setter.  In a 5-1, they usually hit from the right side and set the ball when the setter is in the back row and has to play the first ball.  

The opposite does the same in the 6-2 if the teams substitute out the setter when they get to the front row.
