Are you stupid? We won’t judge. Ask the questions you’re too afraid to ask anywhere else I’ll go first: why does the down ref move over to the side opposite the one that has just earned the point to signal? They don’t. They stay whatever side they were on. After a challenge, they def move to the opposite side of the net from where they are about to signal. Not sure if it's a "rule", or just preparing to point?

9.84 foot line? are you happy? pedant! Attack line would be appropriate… as would three meter line… show me where the facts hurt your feelings…

Why isn’t it a lift when a player has an ugly mistimed swing where the ball clearly slides along the hand with the hand under the ball ? Because the word lift isn't in the rulebook, the ball can not be caught or thrown - caught/thrown indicates control. If we could only call ugly then it would be amazing!

Why do college announcers call it the 10’ line? it’s ten feet from the net And that’s also how the U.S does measurements, we don’t go by meters usually… and it’s easier saying 10 foot than 9…. Whatever the exact measurement is😭

Why are passing numbers not a reported stat but digs are? I can tell from a score sheet who attacked the ball, who set the ball, who dug the ball, but I can’t tell who received the ball. Arguably the most important role in the gym and I can’t tell who does it. Receive attempts are a recorded stat, but doesn’t tell entire story without context. I wish passing grade (generally scored out of 3) was a public stat.

And it stuck. And guess what, it just happens to be so damn close to 10 that it’s fine to call it that. Similarly a balance beam in gymnastics is often said to be “four inches wide” but it’s not. It’s ten centimeters. But why are you being that weird annoying guy going “metric only for me” in an otherwise fun thread?

Not sure if it's a "rule", or just preparing to point? I remember getting taught this when I was reffing to always stand on the opposite side of who won the point and I never understood it

Hate when announcers say a hitting percentage is like a batting average - in baseball if they calculated hits-outs divided by at bats nobody would hit positive!

Arguably the most important role in the gym and I can’t tell who does it. Receive attempts are a recorded stat, but doesn’t tell entire story without context. I wish passing grade (generally scored out of 3) was a public stat. Ok then to reframe my question: Why do digs appear on the box score? Either show me both digs and pass attempt totals, or show me neither. It doesn’t make sense in rally scoring to differentiate the two actions. Or to exclude only one. Or to include only one, if you’re the exlclusionary type. Digs tell me nothing in the box score. Why are they there? And if they are there, why aren’t receptions there as well? Edit: I mean it doesn’t make sense to treat them differently from a box score/stat sheet perspective when the only detail we get is total attempts. I’d still like to be able to see who’s normally receiving the ball- even more so than I care to know who digs the ball, tbh.

Its a thread about dumb questions… Anyone needing lotion for the response probably walks up and checks the net height with their hands after the officials measure it with a chain…

You don’t?
I bet you don’t click the tongs before you use them, either. Wild.

Why are substitutions sometimes so awkward?
Example, players swap spots. No, ref calls them back to hold hands and waves them in?
Part B, why does the libero sub, have to involve an extra middle to go through the motions of subbing in and going back to the bench?
