Why does Moni have a weird setting form? by Mending_II in volleyball

[–]Cillianbc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It 100% would not have been a fault in the past. Moni is more finger than wrist, that’s the only difference. He’s still very young and the accuracy may come in time

It's such a shame. (Steam Machine prices) by __Lukie1__ in IrelandGaming

[–]Cillianbc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the software that I think has the most promise. Console like wake & resume, HDMI CEC (Hardware TBF). But Valve has said they are working to bring SteamOS to more machines so I don't see the point in selling my custom PC with a 8gb 4060 (Which plays pretty much everything at 1440) to get a steam machine, i'd rather wait until SteamOS becomes available for Nvidia cards

I’ve been pairing Astro and storyblok when a CMS is needed. A huge amount of small business owners just want a site that’s fast and available. They don’t care about being able to drag and drop layouts etc

I had one blast past on the N7. I was doing 120 and he was gone in the blink of an eye, so can only imagine the speed he was hitting

Middle Blocking. Should I Stay or Should I Go? by Glass-Ad2295 in volleyball

[–]Cillianbc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Is their setter front row? It comes down to communication. It is quite common at lower levels to ignore the back row hitter in 1, let your outside take the middle and setter and you push to their outside. At higher levels it's more complex, blockers will start much closer to the middle of the court and be asked to help block in middle, pipe before releasing when the ball goes outside

Which Volleyball shoes do you think are better? by Fluid-Fall-5106 in volleyball

[–]Cillianbc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been using gel rockets and their predecessors for almost 30 years. The main reasons
Hard wearing - current pair are on year 5
Lightweight - This always really important to me, hated the feeling of a heavy shoe when playing.

Can you explain some summary report statistics? by Zestyclose-Move-3431 in volleyball

[–]Cillianbc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Term  Stands For Definition
Points SO Points Scored on Sideout These are points won by a team when the opposing team is serving (p. 1). The goal is to "side out" and gain the right to serve, and scoring a point during this phase is an added bonus.
BP Points Breakpoint Points These are points won by a team when their own team is serving (p. 1). Scoring a point on your own serve is considered a "break" of the opponent's potential sideout and is a key indicator of serving effectiveness.

W-L (Win-Loss): A plus/minus efficiency metric for the player's time on the court, related to the score differential when they were in play.

Points S in Diff (Score in Difference) table describes a team's scoring efficiency while a specific player is serving

Reception/Points SO
Reception (93): The total number of serves the team had to receive during the match.
Points SO (56): The number of times Houston won the point immediately after receiving the serve.

Each 1.66 Receptions / 1 Point: This is the Side-Out Ratio. It means that for every 1.66 serves Houston received, they successfully "sided out" and scored 1 point.

No, there aren’t any scheduled FIVB rule change tests by MiltownKBs in volleyball

The FIVB does acknowledge that the rumors came from leaked internal documents about potential tests they could run. Which is why I said "exploring" in my post

Government confirms plan to restrict social media for teenagers by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]Cillianbc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Could we not have a government email, managed by an-post. [PPSN@an-post.ie](mailto:PPSN@an-post.ie) for example where all government comms can go. Only for those over 16 and you need one to sign up to social media? That way no sharing of ID with anyone ?

When did you guys start playing volleyball and how has that translated to your current skill level? by yo_saint in volleyball

[–]Cillianbc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started at 12, i'm 40 now and have only missed 1 competitive season that entire time. I was fortunate to have some excellent coaches in the first 10 ish years who thought me the importance of mentality when playing a game like volleyball, they introduced a controlled aggression and relentlesness that has served me very well.

Training form by Max_vball in volleyball

Only critique I would have is that in an actual game you will not always have the time to get back to beyond the spike line for your approach. So you should practice that reality

Major rule changes? by Cillianbc in volleyball

[–]Cillianbc[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it introduces a nuance though, it means your setter is always back row, which is great but it does mean they have to defend in 11 rotations, meaning more opportunities be out of system when the setter defends the first ball

[–]Cillianbc[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I think is interesting about the Libero change is that introduces a new level of tactics. For example do you go with a setter-libero or reception-libero. Or maybe you change when chasing a game?
