Safe Sets Bump "A Bump for Diggler" from Playoffs

The Monday night advanced volleyball playoffs started off with the 1st place team, Safe Sets (Blue), taking on the 4th place team, Smokin' Aces (red). Both teams started off strong, but Safe Sets quickly pulled ahead after reaching 10 points. Smokin' Aces worked hard to stay in the game but couldn't manage to block all of Safe Sets sharp spikes. The first game ended with Safe Sets pulling in at 21 and Smokin' Aces at 14.

The second game between Smokin' Aces and Safe Sets closely mirrored the first. Smokin' Aces kept up on their digs and blocks, but couldn't manage to pull ahead. Safe Sets closed the first match by winning both games by a safe margin.

Match two pitted the 3rd place green team, TMNT, against the 2nd place black team, A Bump For Diggler. Both teams left the gate strong and full of friendly competition. A Bump For Diggler brought strong spikes, where TMNT had impressive digs. The score was neck-and-neck until the halfway point. A Bump For Diggler found their groove after the first 10 points and sailed all the way to 21; leaving TMNT back at 11 points total for the first game.

Game two proved to the crowd that TMNT was not done fighting. Each member of the teenage turtle team brought an energy that could only be matched by A Bump For Diggler's perseverance. A Bump For Diggler gave us incredible left handed spikes, while TMNT delivered a brother / sister blocking duo. In the end, A Bump For Diggler pulled ahead and won the match by 5 points.

The championship game gave us the quick and powerful Safe Sets (blue) against the experienced and strong Bump For Diggler (black). Both teams were deadlocked for a majority of the game. A Bump for Diggler would pull ahead by 2 points, only to have Safe Sets come back and pull ahead by 3. All sets were lined up perfectly and the spikes were on point. The last few moments of the game had A Bump For Diggler and Safe Sets tied at 21. With a final spike and an unexpected short serve, Safe Sets gained the high ground and secured the first win.

The second game in this fabled match proved to be just as thrilling as the first. Jump serves were in-demand and pancakes were served fresh. Safe Sets was sailing off their previous win and refused to relinquish the lead. Despite A Bump For Diggler's fierce spikes, they couldn't manage to pull ahead. With "A Bump For Diggler" settling in at 19 points, Safe Sets crushed one last spike to take the game at 21 points.

Congratulations to Safe Sets on their championship, and to all our playoff teams on a fantastic end to the season!

How are Standings Calculated?
Winners receive 2 points, each team in a tie receives 1 point, and losers receive 0 points. If you forfeit, you lose a point, so don't forfeit! Plus, two forfeits make your team ineligible for playoffs.

Teams are ranked by (1) Ranking Points, (2) Head to Head Two Teams Only*, (3) Point Differential, (4) Coin Toss.

Head to Head is only used if there are two teams tied. Ties involving 3+ teams disregard H2H and move on to point differential for the tiebreaker.
º Forfeits
Parenthesized numbers indicate wins or losses by forfeit.
When calculating Ranking Points, forfeits may be weighted differently than normal wins and losses.
