I'd be kicking myself if I was krha, could've been in sole first this week. And picking Oregon was a no-brainer. |

You missed out on the first-place prize. Anyone know what it was this week? A new car? Vacation trip? Ha, that's how to grow the sport! AVCA puts up a new car for each week's PTW winner, which would attract millions and millions to play PTW. The participants would then go to every match they could in person, and watch every match on TV that's available, to try to gain the insight for a winning entry. Voila! Wait, wait, what? Our dozens of participants are already doing that without the new car as a prize? WOW!  |
