vballfan17 I think our match is mostly decided. You will win kills, I'll take assists. I should win blocks, and you should win digs. The aces gap is pretty big - but if you get some aces from Londot/Shaff and my team has a bad serving day, you could flip the aces category. I'd lean towards me winning 3-2 for now though. Yep I agree |

Kate Standifird had 5 assists in set 1 against Eastern Washington… WTF is my team doing this week. I hate it here. “DO YOU GET DEJA VU?” - Olivia Rodrigo another 5 assist first set from Kate… in a set they won 25-14 this time JDKGNSKFN |

isn’t like the next player of the same position? so technically Lefler? No. She’s in the any position. |

isn’t like the next player of the same position? so technically Lefler? No. She’s in the any position. that’s not how I was explained the rules earlier this season. this is what it says on Page 1: “If an active player did not play in any scheduled match during the current week of competition, the highest ranked player of the same position on the bench will be subbed in first. If an active player did not play in any scheduled match during the current week of competition and there is not a player of the same position on the bench, the next highest ranked player on the bench that keeps your roster in compliance will be subbed in next.” that seems like since you have a setter on your bench, that’s who would be subbed in? if you didn’t, then it would be Stafford, if I’m reading this correctly. I’m not playing you, so I don’t particularly care, I just thought this is how that worked. |

I’m not playing you, so I don’t particularly care, I just thought this is how that worked. i think there was a previous season where ANY was replaced by your first ranked sub, regardless of position. But I think you’re correct, and subbing out your top ranked player of the same position is how we’ve been doing it all season long, and that is also how the rules read. |

ay2013 Richins got you an important lead in kills after they dropped today. It's a long shot for me in kills, even longer shot in digs. You could still win aces back with a really big serving day though. I think it's a real long shot for you in blocks. The assists winner should win our match unless it gets real weird tomorrow. Shields should go down (possibly a lot), Ung should go up (possibly a lot). IDK what to expect from Hogue, Strand, or Haworth on your team. I imagine it will be very close, but given you have a lead by just over an assist, I'd favor you slightly.

She isn’t a “setter” on the lineup. She’s an “any”. if you have a player of the same position on the bench, they get subbed in. JFC. Fine. What’s the point of even designating it an “any” position. This rule disadvantages strategic roster play week by week and favors use of add drops instead. I prefer the rule from last year that made more sense. Why can another player play 3S, not have a backup, and get to replace a S who doesn’t play with another position, changing the lineup and *sometimes* providing an advantage that creates a win and another play must use a S bc they have one. That’s just not really reasonable or well thought out. |

That’s just not really reasonable or well thought out. I know this isn't at me specifically, however the substitution rule is the same as it was last year. The thought is that *IF* you intended to play a specific lineup re positions, that lineup should remain intact as much as possible. |

The thought is that *IF* you intended to play a specific lineup re positions, that lineup should remain intact as much as possible. It needs more thinking. The current rule advantages certain risky choices and penalizes others without any logical reasoning. If someone plays 3 S and doesn’t have a backup, they should get screwed, just like someone not having a L or MB backup. Why is not having a L/MB backup met with an immediate loss of a player, as are other errors, but making a decision to play X of another position when not having a backup met with a second chance at having 10 players? Rules are rules. It’s fine. But I think there’s work to do to create rational rules. |
