rainbowbadger, we have a battle of the offense this week. Both of us going hard for kills and blocks. Neither of us brought a second setter, so it will be Vach vs. Podraza. Definitely an advantage to Podraza on assists/set, but non-setter assists may play a role this week (I don't think I've ever seen a match-up quite like this before). Digs and aces up for grabs.  I saw you'd loaded up on middles, so I figured you were going for blocks. Should be very interesting. |

Usually I throw assists, or my opponent will throw kills, so this is a nice opportunity for both of us. Kills — toss-up Assists — lean rainbowbadger Aces — toss-up Digs — toss-up to lean rainbowbadger Blocks — lean vup |

avid 2.0 and I have the same amount of points and set record but i have 3 more overall losses. Kingsley has the same record as me but has *7* SEVEN less points. That’s insane.

gonna start mentally preparing myself to go undefeated and still lose the league you think you are going to get me huh? There’s a very realistic chance that you could only have to win 2 categories to win the league. That could easily mean avid ends up undefeated but doesn’t win the league. |

That’s insane. gonna start mentally preparing myself to go undefeated and still lose the league for next year, hopefully you support me in my effort to get bonus points integrated! I had proposed it years ago but I think we should award a point to the team that gets the most in each category every week. Now that we have a group scoring template, accuracy for which teams actually got the most per week would be more streamlined. some other possible quirks to make next year unique - a combination of per set and per match scoring (we'd know in advance which weeks are going to be scored per set and which per match) Also, lets add a transfer requirement to the full roster and perhaps mandate either a freshman/transfer is always on the active roster? |

Re bonus points you'd be closer to 1st! it adds a layer of complexity to the scoring. You could play to win against your opponent OR against the league....or some combination thereof.
I do NOT like the free sub.
Also, we should also just have in writing a hard rule that S/OPP have to be used in the 3 ANY slots - like, just close that loophole already.

I think bonus points for something like highest team hitting percentage is more interesting than bonus points for most points in a category.
That's honestly just going to hammer in the "going for 3-2" strategy |

I just want to thank my team for trusting the process and going 6-0 after starting 0-3.
I want to thank my athletic director for sticking by me as I went full Chelsey Lucas on most of my draft class after Week 3.
