Also @ 19:23 and continued at 34:48, teams contemplating venue change. 1. seems obvious. Orlando and Columbus had the same W/L but Orlando won 11 more sets than Columbus (And only lost one more) yet finished behind them in the official standings. (luckily it didnt change any of the playoff teams) 2. to more teams? or not single elimination? 3. that's probably needed. although id like to see less monday/tuesday games (id have to look more at Wed/Thu ones). San Diego and Columbus had pretty good attendance on some of the weekend games but otherwise could be quite empty. |

You run into the issue of finishing later again. |

You run into the issue of finishing later again. Or they play fewer regular season matches to accommodate a longer postseason. |

Not impossible, but, that's less money per year from ticket sales and in-arena advertising for each individual team. |

So you can’t sign for a whole month? Why Supposedly to even the playing field for the new teams. Not saying it’s a good reason, but I believe that’s why. |

Not saying it’s a good reason, but I believe that’s why. well I understand the June 1 date (and think it’s a good idea) for that but not allowing them to actually sign for another month seems bizarre given they’re already so far behind in the VB calendar… they won’t know their roster holes until July at the earliest? |

Lots of spots for this year’s NCAA grads! |

Judging from what Pauly said in the video I posted above, it seems teams have players who didn't play this year already signed.
The contracts probably don't become active until the 30th, so they can't be announced yet (N,I, & L rights et al).
The players who played this year are the question marks.
Players who were going to play elsewhere are already gone.
Everyone else, including coaches, players, and fans must embrace the chaos at this point.
Considering the rumors around GR, I'm here for it! 😵💫🥴😁
WE NEED KC, DALLAS, AND INDY COACHES ANNOUNCED!!!

Pro volleyball league founders sue DeVos-backed company amid takeover bid non paywall link: archive.ph/lP8oSI had heard rumors that other TV contracts for last season were collateral casualties of this in-fighting between franchises. It seems odd that the DeVos camp missed this payment. It makes you wonder if there's any connection between Omaha signing all of those former Rise players and GR foiling Omaha's power-grab. |
