I just recently read a message from a volleyball spectator who is wondering what we are trying to teach our children in rallypoint scoring.

To try to summarize it, I think that what she was wittness to, didn't fit her concept of a sport with competitive features and challenges.

What made it especially poignant, was that the remarks were from the heart. And, since I'm a critic of the rallypoint system, her message was like serving up wooden stakes, silver bullets, and hemlock for all who have embraced this FIVB philosophy of play.
