Much thanks goes to Chad Gordon and his work on volleydork for inspiring this project, and I used a lot of his numbers. I collected all of the data by hand and created my methodology around game state changes. I hope you appreciate, and recognize the small sample sizes in a foreign country at play here. Three Americans who score well: Payne, Mikhailenko, Soerenson Two Americans who score not so well: Lamoureux, Keane

Overall, the level of play was significantly lower than college, which is why you have so many negative scores. I am definitely still refining the math and such and hope I can get the U21 tournament done this summer as well.
If you catch any mistakes please let me know!

All of the following games are part of the data:
Cuba vs. USA (group), Cuba vs. USA (champ), Canada vs. USA (group), Canada vs. USA (semi), Canada vs. Cuba (group)
I also have the Suriname vs. USA (group) game recorded and completed, but found the numbers to be super inflated due to the level of competition for the US players, and didn't want Thomas Demps to look tooooo good.
