Or shorten the court, lower the net, and use a softer or even bigger ball.

But, the scoring system needs to be revisited. Rallypoint scoring accentautes the game in faults and the mistakes of the players. And with the emphasis on the faults, less significance is given to players for their athletic skills. Because, everyone is hoping for another mistake. If your trailing in points, you hope for the other team to serve the ball into the net. If you are leading in points, you hope the other team serves the ball into the net. And, if you are at game point, and the other team has the serve, you hope that they serve the ball into the net. What has been adopted is non-competitive scoring.

What happened to that competitive feeling, that if the other team was winning, you wanted the ball to either score, or score and get the serve for the scoring advantage and closure. And, I'm not writing about the side-out system of play.

There is no reason why either team shouldn't be able to score off the serve and during volley. And, there is no logical explantion for awarding points for every served ball. Especially a serve that does not carry with it the responsible of activating competition.

Time is not a factor, but an excuse used as a cover up for the present method of a game that is unplayed to victory.

But, you got to give Omnispkier credit for his savvy in matters of this team net sport. When he gets into logic, technicality, and detail, he pulsates in his zone.
