Hello all. We need a vote on what to do with a player's position this week. Someone has PMed me that Thompson of Emmanuel was an Op and not a MB. If you wouldn't mind, please look at the box score or, if you happened to catch any of their matches, please say what position you felt he played in all three matches this week.
Thanks.

I'm surprised it took this long for a question to come up about his position. What he plays in unorthodox to say the least. I've been watching this season and he plays Op and MB during different rows.
I'm cool with him being listed at MB.

I am the PMer. Of the matches I have watched this season he has been lined up in MB position and played some opp role in the back row and occasional pin attacks in the front. This week what I saw when I watched matches was he served in opp setter position and was a true oppo which was different from all past matches. I think the matches are all on demand if anyone wants to watch.

I might look, but it will have to wait until after the Gauchos sweep Beach.

He played RS from what I saw.

I think I cursed the Gauchos with my post, because they were well on their way to a sweep at the time I posted and somehow they lost the third set.

Thompson's stats don't count this week. I'll update the numbers in time for the for the match starting tomorrow.

Why don't his stats count as an opposite? Take the better stat line out of the two opposites.

Week 8 is in the books. I really like lipton's suggestion as a way to handle this. I went ahead and used Thompson's numbers in the OP slot and removed Fisher and Reardon where applicable. It ended up that it did not affect the standings, so it was not a meaningful decision here, but it sets a precedent. Thompson is a unique situation, and he has hit from the pin while playing MB this season. But he was purely playing Op this week.
Here's hoping we can get through the last three weeks with no cancellations or other things that have come up this season.
