ATeam just said on the broadcast if they’re allowed to go to Europe at that point, they would be interested to play in the King of the Court in the Netherlands in September.

Why do teams block against Hughes on the left? She cant hit down. Already a huge lead blown by Hughes/Brandie as they continue their very inconsistent play this week

Already a huge lead blown by Hughes/Brandie as they continue their very inconsistent play this week How much were they leading by before? They were up 5 I think before they get to 10, definitely 4. Larsen's bump setting versus Claes hand setting is one thing that keeps that team slightly ahead of Stocsen. Lot of top women's blockers bumpset and its a major weakness for all of them (Walsh, Brandie, Larsen, Pavs). I dont see why these players dont at least try to handset. Maybe Kerri because she is 100 years old but the others need to bite the bullet and develop the skill

Brandie/Sara are really a less than the sum of their parts team. This is their 5th event and in 4 of those they have lost to a lesser team.

I think Hughes/Brandie do this to guarantee a matchup with Slaes in the contenders bracket. Callahan/Jones should be an easy win. Not really serious about that strategy, but seems to be working just fine for them to guarantee a semi final appearance, as Slaes obviously poop the bed every time those teams play.

ATeam had a 3 points lead at one point but blocked by Kelly Claes right before the timeout to be 11-10 at tech timeout.

Claes and Jones both gained a few extra lbs...a never thought Claes is very professional in terms of preparation and focus. Wonder if Sponcil will switch to Alix as soon as April retires

Some people can work just as hard as anyone else, yet not show it due to their body type. Probably unfair to Jones and Claes unless you are absolutely sure on that claim.
