Good job NBC, miss a bunch of points during commercial in time to come back to a timeout While I'm glad there is video of just about everything, NBC's choices are suspect at best.

Problem with them is they have a commercial break at almost every side switch and then by the time they come back it’s either already a technical timeout or a team timeout. So definitely a lot more breaks than actually playing time that we get to watch.

Reminder: ATeam will be playing vs the Dutch tonight at 8pm ET/5pm PT on NBC. Will post stream link at that time.
ATeam is going into the match on a 2-0 match record and Dutch have lost both pool matches. A win here from the ATeam will guarantee them to top Pool B regardless of what happens between China vs Spain and will knock the Dutch out from the Olympics.

tamz they would have to lose like 21-8 both sets NOT to win Pool B. Then its a "lucky loser" winner in R16

This isnt a defense just info: nbc doesn't get to control feed on live matches: they dont control replays, breaks, or technical TO’s: indoors are not using TTO’s and not aware of beach TTO’s in use :

I just tuned in and I’m told that the Dutch went on a 7-3 score run.
Towels are in a plastic bag. Everyone besides the four on court are wearing a rain jacket.
ATeam 10-11 at TTO

Thank you as always. Yeah the rain is rough but part of the sport if there is no lightning. I’m no fan of the Mikasa but the one thing that it has going for it is the lack of water absorption. Probably the best for that followed by the optx. The Dutch are really fighting here.

Alix tips the ball over. All tied 14-14
Side switch and ad break …
Dain said the ball can weigh up to 3x its weight in the rain.

has hand-setting been called more or less tightly for those of you who follow beach more regularly, compared to other tournaments?
