I actually wouldn't mind that at all. Seems like a good idea. I'd be curious how often that would come into play. Would also fix Josh Taylor randomly throwing in someone as a serving sub one time for the entire week, right avid 2.0 ?

That's the problem it actually *doesn't* solve: the sub system.. For example, if Kennedy Martin got injured in point one of the Colorado State match, then it doesn't matter because she'd just take zero's for the week unless you require that she gets a sub, which could be a potential solution:

Basically, if a player doesn't play 3 sets, they are *automatically* subbed OUT. Unless there is no eligible sub, then you can just keep them in the match, but their totals get divided by 3 instead of by 1. That would solve avid's Josh Taylor situation, because, if that player was able to be subbed out, avid would have won.

I would literally be willing to vote on this as a league this week for the rest of the season. I like this. don’t reach 3 sets played then the floating sub rule is in play

I usually don't like changing any rules mid season, but, I don't think this change would impact anyone's strategy? Nobody plans on a player playing only one or two sets in a week... right?

Sometimes there are 1 match weeks against cupcakes (though these seemingly are becoming rare). So if DeLeye for example only had 1 match against Morehead State this week and only played 2 sets... counting that result doesn't seem that problematic?

But TBF, this situation has happened before, though maybe only a few times a season? I think ay was on the losing end of it one time, and agean beat me one year because Fran Flory used a serving sub in one set and she got aces to beat me (I can't remember the players name lol)

[avid 2.0]

is there any reason to not just divide by sets played instead of sets team played?

agreed on all accounts

anyway, I don't wanna seem salty, there's tons of random-ness in Fantasy and this match could swing back in my favor.

Rainbow also had the unfortune scenario of Zeta Washington being MIA and Hogan not playing through 3+ matches. They went from looking like complete disaster of taking full zeros in the MB position to an absolute gift of 3.00 blocks and 3.00 kills per set. Kind of crazy. I didn't look at how this might impact their match with Kingsley

[eazy]

JE clearly does not care about us. Ames has not been good this match. That's fine, she's a true freshman. But why sub her in during sets 3 and 4 to literally not touch a ball, and then get subbed right back out. 3 different MB's rotating through her spot in set 4, and none of them did anything but set a ball one time..

I definitely like the 3 sets minimum idea. Less than 3 sets played, stats can get skewed too extreme in either direction (e.g. Harris-Waddy with 1 set played and straight zeros to Hogan with 1 set played and 3.0 kps and 3.0 bps for the week).

So would the rules operate the same re: substitutions, it’s just a floor of 3 sets played instead of no sets played that triggers it?

I don't know if we're going to make any changes for this season? We might be thinking just more for next year.

But yes, that's how it'd work.

Yes- got that it's not in place yet, just more wanting to understand what's being proposed to think through any cons to that scenario. Thanks!

eazy I think our match is going to come down to blocks, and Kerry Keefe is currently blowing it for me.
