Flyers are a club out of Frisco. This team has always been incredibly scrappy and never let anything hit the ground at all. They just were a tad undersized but explosive with big jumpers. This year, they got bigger with some size in the middle but lost none of the fight. They are an infuriating team to play because you can make and unreal play and they are going to dig it and send it back to you. Their game used to be a waiting game until you messed up. Now they can press and be more offensive than in the past but, again, their defense is so frustrating to play against and it's really hard to stay patient. They are an excellent team, that is well coached and an incredibly high quality group of girls. I'm really excited this is happening for them. (I have no affiliation with the team and live almost 2 hours away from them).

AES does rankings, which many tournaments do for seedings. I don't know how accurate their rankings are and what criteria they use. When enough tournament results are input into AES their rankings appear pretty accurate. The smaller samplings can be spurious. Does anyone know what criteria they use to establish their rankings? Hopefully it is not dependent on just won/loss. With Sportswrench, it is used to report tournament results but as far as I know has nothing to do with rankings. Those tournament results are not input into AES. If you are a club I am told you can manually input those results into AES. Input the good, ignore the bad and your ranking rises. Some, most or possibly all regions use AES for seeding and to identify the top teams to qualify to play in the regional qualifier. It would be nice to have one system where you know all information is input, especially when regions use it to determine who will play in Nationals. But all of this I hear from third sources. When people look at rankings in AES are they confident of the accuracy? There will always be disagreement. What I am looking for is "close enough for government work". It may not be totally accurate but it is good enough where you can get a sense of who the best clubs in each region are and who are the top national clubs. Here's a link to the AES ranking rationale. There are some pretty big errors in their rankings that I can see (There are 5 teams my daughter's team has beaten ranked ahead of them, including one we've beaten twice), but I guess it's the best they can do. Does anyone know if AES is a significant consideration in USAV national qualifier and USAV nationals seeding? www.advancedeventsystems.com/rankings/about |

Just received an email from NEQ reminding clubs that we have until April 4 to report all non-AES results into AES. I'm assuming they are doing that for seeding.

Quite an ending to the 17 Open final at Sunshine. Back row block (I believe- was a few courts away at the time and had a partial view) called on A5 setter going up for a tight ball. Point Dynasty, 26-24- in the third.

I was hearing it was because they want to go to florida instead and were just here for the competition. Still, a pretty crappy move in my opinion |
