There's at least one. There's the Defender of the Year, Kevin mentioned that Hopefully there's more than two. I'm totally on board with there being one individual champion for the entire league, but it would be totally lame if other players aren't also recognized in one way or another. Top 4 point earners get a medal. Best defense player gets a $5,000 bonus. |

Is there only one award given at the end of the season to the #1 points leader? Or are there other awards for, like, Best Setter, Best Libero, etc.? I tried looking on auprosports.com and also did some google searches, but couldn't find anything. Anyone know?  |

Does anyone know from experience how long the meet&greets last? How is the dynamic? I have mine today and its about 5 players in a zoom call Normally its like 15-30 people and it lasts for about 10-15 minutes. Theres some interesting questions sometimes. No idea how todays are supposed to go, I thought those are like one on one with whoever your "unlimited pick" is. I have mine today at 7:30 with ... ALI B. This will be the first time I have ever talked to her and Im kind of nervous. God I hope I dont come across as weird or whatever. I have a hard time with personal interaction. Anyway, Im as in the dark as to how it will go a well. I am not even sure I can make mine as I have a kids basketball practice I have to go to. Also I have yet to post the Karta's meet anf greet. I need to find a place to put it on the web. Will do that tonight. |

I had mine with Tiffany Clark (and Cassidy and Stalzer were also there as well). They let you do chat questions. We weren't muted so I think participants could have spoken but they way they introduced things was to put your Qs in the zoom chat so that's what I did. Nobody else seemed to be asking very much so after waiting a few minutes each time I'd ask another question or make another comment in chat (I did 3 total - asking Tiffany about all those Gophers, saying I admired her and Cassidy for playing with pain (which I do as well), and asking if they might do more than one league per year. Cassidy answered that one and said all things are on the table and that could be a possibility, timing around national and international dates/events of course. I think the meet and greet lasted about 20 minutes.

With all the college cancellations especially in the Big Ten, this league has been a bright spot.

Y'all are welcome in the international threads anytime. @toddyj doesn't bite (well I hope  ) Saturday/Sunday mornings are when we thrive. If you enjoyed the level of play in AU, it's much higher overseas. |

I agree the competition is better overseas, but I enjoy seeing more players that I got to see play in college and how they have improved since then (ex: Crocker, McCage). |

Good thing there's over 200 ex-NCAA players overseas  |

Good thing there's over 200 ex-NCAA players overseas Oh don’t get me wrong, I’ve been following the Champions League this year, but it’s cool to finally see a league in the US with rosters comprised largely of players we got to see play in college |
