I stream it on my android smart tv and haven't had any issues. My only issue is in getting my existing account/login updated to include re-subscribing. Dunno if they figure no one will stop and then re-start a subscription, or what. I just got done telling the IT help droid that I've done all the things that they suggested (admittedly, had to "try a different browser" and "try a different network" to complete all of the suggested fixes), and then sent in the screenshots that were the "next step" if the user-is-an-idiot fixes didn't take care of the problem. Not that there's much (imho) to glean from the screenshots. "Screen prior to logging in" // "Logging-in Window" // "Selecting pull-down for Account Settings" // "Account Settings Window" // "Generic Error Window that comes up ~5 seconds later" Worse comes to worst, I'll call and browbeat them into taking my money. :rolleyes: Edit: And... their suggestion is "we can delete your account and you can start from scratch."  Given that my account is little more than an email and password, I agreed. Fingers crossed now. |

The user-account equivalent of "reformat and reinstall" worked! |

MidcoSports is making it difficult.  - Log in, and try to go to my account settings. It brings up a new page with my info, and then replaces it all with an "Oops! Something went wrong" message. Try again later, as suggested, with no change. Go to the help site listed on the Oops page, and it's just a FAQ that doesn't help solve anything.
- Their Live Chat page fails to have the "Chat" icon that they tell me to click on to start a chat.
- I've sent in a "Help" request using their floating-help button, and supposedly they'll get back to me shortly.
Unimpressed. Yikes! sorry about that. Hopefully they will rectify it. The issue I had last year was I had to use a browser to stream from my phone rather than the app. This year I figured out my mistake. You just change a setting in the app. ( I thought I had to change a phone setting). So hopefully that makes sense to avoid the same issue. I've had zero billing issues or any problems streaming games on my Roku devices at home. I think the Midco Sports Plus app is available on Roku so you don’t have to cast from another device for Summit League play. I haven’t tried it recently though tbh. |

What I did *not* do is pay $10 per month for December through (as it happens) most of September, because, well, "volleyball." |

I did the same thing last year, unsubscribing in December and then reactivating my account in September. |

We ran some simulations with our numbers and here's how we have the standings projected:
South Dakota 12-4
Omaha 11-5
South Dakota St 10-6
North Dakota 9-7
St Thomas 9-7
Denver 8-8
North Dakota St 8-8
Kanas City 6-10
Oral Roberts 1-15
We give South Dakota about a 46% chance to win the league, Omaha about 24% and South Dakota State just under 16%

I'm now using your rankings along with Massey on the first post of this Summit thread as a stand-in for tracking RPI early in the season. A Simulated RPI (FigStats) is just too far off base with a lack of data early in the season, and the VolleyTalk projected RPI has been suspended. So I'm glad for another algorithm/ projection model existing for Volleyball! One small gripe for me: when I click on the conference column heading, it groups teams by conference... but it doesn't maintain their overall ranking. So I have to leave it sorted by ranking and slowly go through the entire list, looking for Summit teams. A little less than convenient for me. Just something to think about. Also, being able to find the advanced stats isn't very user-friendly. To me, if I want to sort normal stats I can do that on the NCAA site. ( link) What I'd like to see on yours is the advanced stats in an easier to understand format. As an example, here's WarrenNolan.com's section on advanced stats for Men's Basketball. much easier to use. linkAnyway, I'll keep using it, and maybe I'll figure out how to sort those advanced stats (and which ones are more valuable than others).

OK, so here's a compilation of three projections/predictions for Summit final standings, Massey, kiyoat (me), and Evollve. The space indicates the top-6 teams that can participate in the conference tournament. Anyone else care to make a guess? | rnk | Massey | 
| kiyoat |
| Evollve |
| | 1 | South Dakota | 16-0 | South Dakota(T) | 14-2 | South Dakota | 12-4 | | 2 | Omaha | 14-2 | Omaha(T) | 14-2 | Omaha | 11-5 | | 3 | Denver | 10.5-5.5 | Denver | 11-5 | SDSU | 10-6 | | 4 | SDSU | 10-6 | SDSU | 9-7 | North Dakota(T) | 9-7 | | 5 | NDSU | 9.5-6.5 | North Dakota | 8-8 | St Thomas(T) | 9-7 | | 6 | North Dakota | 6-10 | St Thomas | 7-9 | Denver (T) | 8-8 | | - |
|
|
|
|
|
| | 7 | St Thomas(T) | 3-13 | NDSU | 6-10 | NDSU(T) | 8-8 | | 8 | Kansas City(T) | 3-13 | Kansas City | 3-13 | Kansas City | 6-10 | | 9 | Oral Roberts | 0-16 | Oral Roberts | 0-16 | Oral Roberts | 1-15 |
Note: the Evollve standings have two too many wins (should be 72 wins, 72 losses total) |

Anyone else care to make a guess? I know better than to guess. I am *far* too much a homer, and too tunnel-visioned on my team(s) to be able to rank/order a conference. But… Tommies on Top! |

On the note of Evollve standings having too many wins, that's due to rounding. For example, if three teams are all projected at 10.6 wins, the actual total would be 10.6 times 3 which is 31.8, but these standings would round all of them to 11 and so it would look like a total of 33.

Cheers Glad that you're getting some good use out of the site! I believe both of your requests here can be done using the Dig In tool. Let me know if I'm off base on what you're looking for. But for example, at this link if you sort by Evollve Rating that will give you just the Summit League teams sorted by our measure of team strength evollve.net/stats/ncaa/women/indoor/volleyball/dig_in/team_single_seasons/?min_season=2024&max_season=2024&conference_choices=Summit+League&criteria_type=values&stats_to_show=summary&submit=trueAnd as for sorting advanced stats, same thing. Use the Dig In tool and choose that stat as one of the criteria and then you can sort by it. An example: here are all DI teams sorted by ace rate: evollve.net/stats/ncaa/women/indoor/volleyball/dig_in/team_single_seasons/?min_season=2024&max_season=2024&criteria_type=values&criteria2=service_ace_rate&comp2=ge&threshold2=0&stats_to_show=summary&submit=true |
