Results from todays Norceca playoff. Looks like Evans and Konlinske won three 3 setters and then I guess got a forfeit over Allen/Mayer. Would've expected Slick Patterson to do alot better but from a facebook live feed I saw of Allen/Mayer vs Doherty/Hyden it looked pretty windy.

I wonder why Slick/Patterson instead of Slick/Allen?

Stafford is getting around, playing with Zaun in few weeks. Very interesting, another quality showing by Bill/Miles, future NVL champions of that volleyball court outside your nearest drinking establishment.

I think finals they flipped a coin. Top 2 teams qualify. Ryan and Hyden forfeited because no reason to play for 3rd

Its a good thing Evans and Kolinske had that whole summer of playing against the greatest competition in the world and got better because they were on the AVP... oh wait. Guess you can actually be good no matter how you practice/play and who you align your beliefs with

Well done and congrats, I'll eat a bit of crow on this. |

Am I missing something here? Both genders just walk off the court flip coins and go home? What happens to the promoter/sponsors, whom I presume put up prize money? Fans who came to see AVP pros play? Can't grow the sport if the players don't give a crap? Was this just a "country quota" played elsewhere?

Top 2 teams get to go to play in the Norceca, there's no reason to play the finals... I doubt there were many fans present.

Would've expected Slick Patterson to do alot better but from a facebook live feed I saw of Allen/Mayer vs Doherty/Hyden it looked pretty windy. There was virtually no wind - ideal conditions although very warm for this time of year. Only the winners are guaranteed a place in the tournament but generally the U.S. is allowed two teams. Very minimal crowd. |

Evans/Kolinske putting the AVP to shame. Props to a couple of the nicest guys you could ever meet off the court.

Guess you can actually be good no matter how you practice/play and who you align your beliefs with Also super smart of them to have beaten these teams in a free event rather than making 5k apiece for doing it in an AVP. "Honey remind me again why you decided to not earn money for doing what you were going to spend your weekends doing anyway." "Did you forget, I didn't think the guy donating money to us but receiving no financial gain himself was doing so graciously enough" "Oh thats right, congratulations on that NORCECA thing" |
