15. UH cannot host an NCAA tournament at Ching. Or even a dual without splitting the flights since there are only two courts (plus the practice courts across the track at the old basketball courts). The NCAA would not allow split sites and flights need to run simultaneously in a match.
There are plans to expand Ching to have five courts on one side. But that is a ways off.

Anyway. Crissy Jones (UW AVCA AA) is the real deal; UH should recall how she did the ‘Bows in a few years ago haha. Facts about the Ching Complex too? Two courts are already set up for competition & television. Two practice courts +1 are tucked across the way of the FB field, flushed, up against the pool. UH would be able to host a NCAA Tourney (w Ft DeRussy). A “Singles” competition could be run simultaneously w “Teams” due to those UH flood lights while playing at night.

9. TV doing one match, Nebraska. Washington is at Ching but so far not being televised.
What would help at Queen’s is if they could put up a scoreboard on the screen used for Sunset on the Beach.

new thread up for Thursday
UCLA dominates Cal Poly 5-0
As mentioned, Monkhouse played in the exhibition No. 6.
Metzger only traveling 14.
We’ll see who the Bruins put out on Saturday. With 9 of 10 players returning from last year, and a ton of high school A-As, it will be interesting to see where/when Monkhouse is in the top five.

I^^^^I meant to imply that Queens is NOT a fan friendly environment due to no scoreboard and the courts all scattered around the beach. You kind of have to walk up to each court and find the scorecard to find the scores.

Well..you guys should not be surprised. Beach volleyball(at least College Beach Volleyball) is not tv friendly. All the matches are going on at one time and it’s hard to pick which one to televise.

Jeff Hall have said all of their home matches(except for UDUB) will be played at Queens because it simulates how the post season tournament will be like.

Also, multiple team tournaments cannot be played on campus cause UH only have two “playable courts” and it would last from morning to late night to complete a tourney. Queens Beach have the room to hold 6 matches at one time. It is a fan friendly environment but that is the best UH can get now. Until UH find money and space to put in 5 courts, Queens Beach will the UH’s home away from home.

Looking at that schedule, it looks like the only match that will replay over and over again on Spectrum will be Nebraska, again. 🙁

6. Yeah, unfortunately, it is all about balance over the flights sometimes instead of two top players together. I guess a Maglio/Huddleston is > than a Martin/Huddleston.

Poly, on the other hand, has their two arguably best players (Van Winden and Sonny) on the same flight. It will be interesting to see how it pans out against Poly.

Of course, UCLA just beat Poly 5-0.

Wonder if Monkhouse will see action in the top flights this weekend?

Should be a fun weekend.

Monkhouse playing at Flight 6 for UCLA. Goes to show the amount of talent available at UCLA.
