#922 net violation

while watching her daughter's junior high volleyball game
the mother wonders why teams now score even when the opponent is serving
one of her favourite things about her own volleyball days
was how the sport offered second chances
you could lose the rally
but not lose a point to the opponent
and, the sport did not go too far, by offering third chances
something the mother thought her daughter's generation was too often offered

why do they play rally-point now?
for advertisers
...
in order to compete with other televised sports
william morgan's sport needed to have a more predictable time duration
when the pros changed, the amateurs and schools followed
trading second chances for 30-second spots
