I am watching the stats on the Kentucky vs Tenn match and I noticed that they count every block as an error for the hitting team. I thought hitting errors only counted if they were hit out or into the antenna.

Blocks are errors for the attacking team.

Wrong again Rush Limbaugh! An attack error is any attacked ball that results in an immediate point for opponent. Hit out, into the net, attacker arm hitting the net (i believe) and of course blocked for point.

I was not wrong. I answered redmacaw's question. Relax tough guy. He didn't ask about hitting into the net, etc...he asked about blocks.

Its a good time to ask that question as UK and UT have 34 errors between them. UT made four in a row up 24-22.

Look at International Match stats. They have blocking errors, and a lot of them. Presumably every time an attacked ball deflects off the block, then goes on to score a point, is a blocking error, but we never really got a clear answer on this during the men's world league season, when the stat started to appear.

I was always under the impression that a block for a point is a hitting error, but (at least in NCAA women's) a kill tooled off the block is not a blocking error.

International stats are way different than NCAA stats. They have different terms, track different things, etc.
