ceiling suspended net system

[IK13]

Here's a picture from the internet...


The NFHS rule for playing the diagonal supports is far more appropriate than NCAA for two reasons:

1. Calling an unconditional "out" when the ball is high and away from the net and over playable area just does not make sense.
2. It is unreasonably unfair to the team that will have more sets played on that side (you guessed it - the visitors).

IMO NCAA should either adopt the HS rule or play the diagonal supports as overhead obstructions.

Coincidentally, just got today the "Women's volleyball Call for Proposals" email. Time to fill up that form...
