More new FIVB rules being looked into

From the FIVB website:

http://www.fivb.org/EN/Infomedia/Pre...se.asp?No=5570

New Rules will be tested:

* A "new service rule" allowing a 2nd service attempt when the
first service is a fault will be tested in several countries and
international competitions.
* A similar study will be intensified to how the teams could have
a 2nd libero while maintaining 12 players per team.
* A quick substitution system will be tested in the 2006 World
League and Grand Prix.

One of the criticisms of the game was that the high sideout efficiency
of the receiving team was motivating players to attempt high risk jump
serves such that too many points were "faults" or "aces". That is, if
a team sides out with high proficiency (as teams tend to at the higher
levels), you're better off going for an ace on every serve even if you
miss a lot of serves.

I know that the motivation for the let serve rule was to allow for more
"play" and less "whistle".

I also know that rally scoring was added to make game lengths more
predictable and allow for faster advancement of scoring.

The 2nd serve rule strikes me as a horrifically bad idea that defeats
the purpose of these other changes!!!

With a 2nd serve rule, it becomes even MORE strategic for teams to bomb
high risk jump serves, most of which will be probably be faults.
Service faults make for more boring and more lengthy matches that are
less predictable in overall length (an issue for TV coverage).

So once again, I have to wonder what the FIVB rules committee is
smoking? It seems to get more and more ridiculous. Are we at the
point where it's now time for some sort of "coup"?

I didn't write this but I agree with this guy 100%

One serve is more than enough, this is not tennis, floaters are harder to pass than jumpers.

DO OVERS, WHAT THE.....

Are they serious? What is this the NHL? Are they afraid Volleyball fans are going on strike?

I'd like to see this translate in rec and general play? "Dude, I get a do over"

smurf, my gripe with vb is allowing the stupid net serve. to me the standards are higher in the avp than the fivb, therefore fivb forcing the u s a to lower standards for vb when playing international vb. i'll get over the rally scoring,allowing 2nd serve, but GET RID OF THE STUPID LET SERVE. dex

I think your a little late on this one. USAVB rules are made for the average Joe as well as top players. The rules changes are to make the sport more competitive as well as fun, not to lower standards.
