Here is an excellent diagram to illustrate the 180 degree rule. All of your different camera angles must remain on the same side of the 180 degree line.
If you watch the edit pattern we have discussed in class for when the gymnast makes her jump, you will notice how all the cameras are placed on the side of the run up nearest the centre of the stadium. This is a good example because the 180 degree line is down the middle of the run up to the vault. If we saw the action from a camera set on the other side of the track, it would appear to the viewer that the gymnast was running in the opposite direction - which would be very confusing.
