Its been ten years since the FIVB implemented its scheme of rallypoint scoring for volleyball. Before 1994/95, a team had to serve a ball over the net before they could score a point. Now a team can score a point if the ball is served under the net. It used to be that a set or game couldn't be won unless a ball was served over a net. Now a team can win a set or game without having to serve for the winning point, and a team can win a set or a game without being challenged to hit a ball off the serve. Are we still playing volleyball? If the FIVB implemented these kind of rules to attract national and international attention of interest to rival the spectator interest of such sports as basketball, baseball, or football, have they succeeded? Has the FIVB attracted the interest of the national and international media sources of exposure they had predicted
