Probably your mid-majors. There's actually much less games early in the day than there ever has been - with schedules being more flexible and many 4-team tournaments being spread over 3 days instead of two. It does seem though that there is more spread out games - especially within some conferences trying to max out TV times and days played. I like how the B1G has a wide variety of matches. But also, I think a lot of the early Friday/Saturday matches are not streamed (mostly neutral matches) which is unfortunate, a lot of the lower-half of fantasy eligible teams. |

I don’t think a single one of the games in the morning is streamed lol. shame on Alabama, LSU, UNCW, and Rice |

(mostly I just wanted to see if Angeles would be top spin serving or not and if Hester’s top spin had any more heat on it this season) |

Right.. like… why would someone not want to watch their players? Or their stats?! Its our first look at a new season! And don’t you want to keep score ? Lol |

Oh I’m not saying never watch the players! I meant watching in real time when your attention is also heavily divided… like tracking possible pickups

what are everyone’s concerns heading into the weekend? mine:
• Carlson on the bench or in a 6-2 (although that would give me an easy player to drop)
• Scoggins not starting for Arizona (which, from all accounts I think she is, and she looked GOOD against NorCo but this is arizona after all)
• Grkovic not serving
• Watkins being in any system that’s not a 5-1 (would impact my score this week too)
• not pulling the trigger on an add/drop because a couple of the people I picked were specifically for conference stats and I get too attached to that idea lol
• missing something or someone big because I get assigned a crazy task or get pulled into a meeting🤣
that’s a lot sorry lol

I meant watching in real time when your attention is also heavily divided… like tracking possible pickups I don't even have enough time to watch many of my players, let alone hoping to find a diamond in the rough by watching other random games. I'll check some box scores and see if I get lucky, otherwise I just hope my players can deliver. |

what are everyone’s concerns heading into the weekend? mine: - Will any of my middles serve or do I need to drop them all?
- Can Borum dump enough to make up for a lack of talent around her?
- Can we get lucky and have Meg Brown either play 6 rotations or serve/block well enough to convince me to keep her.
- Who is Carson Ledford and why did I draft her?
- Am I wasting Elena Scott's digs on a team that will probably never win digs?

I don’t think Borum played in the scrimmage. |

what are everyone’s concerns heading into the weekend? mine Meh I don’t really have any other than hoping my team blocks well in week 1…. and serves well, Obviously. Re players, that’s what a good add/drop is for. There are so many options for pickups this year, it’s insane. |

I have a sheet with players to track and it’s actually insanely long. imagine how many others I’m completely missing too. I feel like there were less returners this season than last season (especially in the middle and setting) so just more potential people than what I had last season |
