My problem is that I often have to leave two hours before the start of the match to make sure I get a good GA seat - if it is a sweep with a large scoring differential, it can be over in less than an hour, including the ten-minute intermission. It can then take another 40 minutes to an hour to get home. I'm thus spending up to three hours of slack time to see about 50 minutes of volleyball. For a match with a pushover opponent, especially if being broadcast, I'm increasingly deciding to stay home.
Maybe they should go to four timed periods of 20 minutes each, with a timer put on the server, and the team with the highest accumulated score the winner. That way every match would be close to the same length (110 to 120 minutes).

I honestly think the intermission change is more about coaches who are tired of going into the break with a full head of steam, only to be lost after 10 minutes of sitting around. i think the big12 did away with the 10 minute intermission this past season (other please correct me if i'm wrong). instead we had the normal 3 minute break. was weird at first but then we got used to it. and i do agree with others that the amount of time spent on some challenges was downright absurd. All FIVB volleyball has the normal 3 minute break between all sets. It seems to work out just fine! |

Hey, I know, I can tell my dad to go on nights when they aren't holding a match. Then he can sit anywhere he wants and go to the bathroom any time he wants. Thanks for your awesome suggestion to think "flexibly". Your welcome.  Hint: Not every college volleyball match out there is in the high demand D1, are you saying every single match you attended is a sellout match... I have been to some matches where there are seats closer to the toilet...and GASP...it wasn't occupied. Yes, every single one. With 8k+ people there are lines for food and bathrooms. I would rather keep as 10 minute break. |

In any case, the 5 mins intermission, it is what it is. Not much point crying over spilled milk. |

Why don't they just allow the entire play to be reviewed to determine who actually won the point? Because they don't want to turn it into a fishing expedition where refs have to review the whole point from serve to whistle. They want coaches to challenge a single play. All they are doing here is lumping a touch and an in/out call on the same attack as one play, where before they had them specified as two separate plays. |

The pee problem! Many aged people have to take furosemide! Just take your pee pill early so its effects are worn off before the game!  GO HUSKERS |

"18.1.4.2.1 and 18.1.4.2.2 64 Regarding the Challenge Review System (CRS), combine the two rule categories of “in/out” and “touch” into one reviewable challenge. Rationale: According to the most recent CRS data, 81 percent of challenges involve “in/out” and “touch” calls Currently if the coach challenges “in”, but replay shows the ball is “out”, and it also shows there was a “touch”, the referees could only rule on the “in/out” call. This proposal allows the referees to make the correct call." Boo!  - Just stick with the original challenge! What If - The ball was out, with no ball 'touch', but their was a net touch. * I still would like the broadcast feeds (if applicable) tied into the replay system. I hate seeing a definite outcome shown to the broadcast viewing audience that is not available to the refs - who spend a ton of review time and ending up unsure, or with the wrong call. The Fan Experience: Keep the 5 min. intermission, but add a the 15 point 'technical timeout' break in each set. |

I always thought the shortened intermission was pushed more by coaches who didn’t want momentum killed.
And I can’t believe there’s this much dissent about a change of 7 minutes.

8.4.2.3 31 Reduce the maximum allowable time for intermission between sets two and three to five minutes for all matches. Rationale: Currently, the maximum length for intermission is 10 minutes. This proposal will keep the pace of play more continuous from match to match. In addition, it will enhance the fan experience. By making sure half the people getting snacks won't get back to their seats in time and will interfere with viewing of the start (first five minutes?) of the third set as they filter back to their seats. Once schools see their concession income halved, they'll reconsider this. |
