I "want" to agree with everyone's input here... but it was at a USAV Rules Meeting that we were informed.. I have to give it legitimacy. Now onto the science... I'm going to trust my net chain, but I'm going to measure it's length and track it every season. If I notice the chain lengthening, I'll post an update. One thought, when checking net height, I hang it alongside one antenna, remove it, then hang it alongside the other antenna... however; while prepping for an NCAA match, I saw a coach hang the chain alongside one antenna, then leave it hung on the net and "dragged" it along the net to the other antenna. I can absolutely see how that might stretch the chain over time.
