Here are my priority points ranking and resulting seating. Use to compare with your results. 571 out of 715 (Director's Club), Resulted in Section E, Row 7, Seat 7 I used to be E row 7 seat 13. Congratulations. It's a great view of the players and the bench during timeouts, pregame, etc. I used to joke that I should learn to lip-read, so I could tell what was being said in the huddles. Seat 7 in the old numbering was just about always a 'family of the players' seat.

Use to compare with your results. 571 out of 715 (Director's Club), Resulted in Section E, Row 7, Seat 7 Not too far behind you in Director’s Club. I am going to go ahead and assume that Donor Rank was a criteria is seating selection (got an upgrade from H to Q, but all the damn way back in row 26!) and for the KC tickets (sec 107, row D). It is what it is, and I’m sure it’s going to piss off a few hundred longtime ticket holders.

KC 107 row 4 probably sounds better than it really is. 107 is the blue line for hockey, but that will probably mean about the end line for volleyball. And row D is 4th row for hockey, but they will undoubtedly use the 'temporary' basketball seating extensions for VB, meaning row D is really the 15th, 20th? row back from the court. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, if you didn't already know.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, if you didn't already know.[/quote] It’s one game, so it’s not a huge deal. I’m probably far more annoyed at how far back I’m sitting the rest of the season, but I guess that’s what I get for wanting to bring 2 of the 4 kids instead of choosing 1 each match.

Rainbows are now in E, Row 6, Seats 1-4. We’re All-American club, don’t remember points ranking. We basically got exactly what we asked for: Upper half of gold on an aisle. Bonus that it’s right behind the bench.

A series of tweets from Punzel. mostly good, some not so much: 1. Sarah Franklin is crazy good. Might just be best OH in the country. Power, range, touch, passing ability and big serve. Closest comp for me is Mikaela Foecke of Neb, and Franklin's name is easier to spell. 2. Julia Orzol combined with Franklin gives badgervb an elite OH combo. Orzol looks fully healthy and is back hitting topspin serve. 3. Setter situation is fluid, but I'd guess that they end up going with 6-2 with @izzyashburn2 and @mjhamm5 sharing duties. Competition is close and 6-2 gives opportunity to play an extra hitter. 4. It may be a couple days or so before libero Gulce Guktekin arrives from Turkey as she works through visa/passport issues. Should be interesting battle for that spot 5. Baylor transfer libero Shanel Bramschreiber is practicing but has yet to gain clearance to play. Issue revolves around having had an agent to check out pro possibilities. Stay tuned. 6. Danielle Hart is looking strong as she comes back from torn ACL. Had a hit in practice this morning that led @kellypsheffield to pause practice in recognition. She says she's feeling progressively better. 7. The depth of pin hitters is unprecedented in Sheffield era. @ellawrobell, @jade_Demps15 and @lizgregorski would be a good base for many teams, but they'll be battling for playing time. Gregorski healthy and has her hops. Firstly…thanks Rob for the excellent summary post. Really great to hear about players making a splash in the gym early on. Secondly, I’m as bullish for this Badgers team as anyone on this forum. “Unprecedented” is a great descriptor for the talent we have assembled at the net. But I have to admit that on some levels, the setter discussion is a tiny bit unnerving to me right now. Sorry. The setter tweet is odd. Dennis says he is guessing, meaning he doesn't seem to have any insight other than observation. Running a 6-2 in practice doesn't mean they're not running a 5-1. I would think they experiment, perhaps play with double sub a few rotations, but don't truly run a 6-2. In fact, I'd be shocked if they did for the whole season.

I drafted MJ for my fantasy team, so they’d better not stick with a 6-2!

When the idea first came up 'seriously' in the spring, I did my best to go look up whether Sheffield had ever run a 6-2. And there was at least one year, I think it was in Albany, when he did. So it's not like a Bo Ryan simply refusing to ever play a zone defense kind of thing; he might do it. Though I'm with you, I'll be quite surprised if it is the full year. (And I'll say again, if he does, it should be a 5-2, not 6-2)

Rainbows are now in E, Row 6, Seats 1-4. We’re All-American club, don’t remember points ranking. We basically got exactly what we asked for: Upper half of gold on an aisle. Bonus that it’s right behind the bench. Section E seat 1 used to be right up against that walkway out to the 'hallway' and exits, etc. That is, not an aisle at all, as far from an aisle as you could get. Maybe with the construction they did away with the walkway exit and that space is now the aisle up you're hoping for. We all get to see in another week. -------------- Edit: if you look at the photo that Punzel posted yesterday of the team doing serve-receive drills, you can see that the equivalent exit between sections G and H is gone and there are steps up to the platform for the handicapped seating. BUT there is a railing separating that set for steps from the last seat of section G. If the equivalent exists between D and E, seat 1 of E will be "on an aisle" but with a railing preventing you from actually using that aisle. Maybe there's a second aisle in the collapsing part of the section? That is, two aisle right next to one another, separated by the railing? (And there's no way in hell that section H is actually 14 seats wide, like the seating chart claims. This is all just so weird.)

"Kludge" is computer programmer slang for an "inelegant" solution to a problem. That is such a kludge. LOL. I'm glad for your sake.

His guess is based on the balanced competition between the setters, which I’d guess is really only a secondary concern when deciding which system to run. As others have pointed out, it’s the similarity of the ball the setters provide that’s more important. I think Franklin’s passing is also more of deciding factor. Finally, whether Demps perform out of the front as well as in the back row. I’m not sure how you practice a 6-2 when you only have two setters on your roster. You can’t run scrimmages. So I’m not sure that they can even evaluate it properly until they are in a match. I think we’ll see the full 6-2 in a match as a result. Maybe not against Florida, Kentucky or Baylor, but at some point.

Maybe not against Florida, Kentucky or Baylor, but at some point. You can run scrimmages. Setters switch sides when it comes time for the 6-2 subs. It's not perfect, but it's close enough in order to evaluate how the 6-2 works for the A side. Or maybe a volunteer or student assistant or women's/men's club team player can set for the B side.

And while a decision likely won't be made on practice alone, I think evaluations can be made in practice, the same way you evaluate any other offensive system, defensive scheme, etc...You may change based on match play, but you most certainly evaluate it in practice and likely arrive at a decision.

I know they stat EVERYTHING in practice, so they’ll quickly know which system works best.
