Interesting discussion. As a parent, I want every ball called the same way. As an official, I know that's almost impossible. (BTW, there are borderline sets. They are not all clear cut...another topic for another day). That imaginary rating of 88-100 is real hard to do without a whole lot of experience. What I TRY to do when reffing is set my standard around the 95 in this case. The better setter gets away with some by her standard, but the poorer setter has to work hard. Hopefully in the end, the standard was the same for the entire match.
