The number of digs in these matches....is odd!
Question
Given these statistics, I was wondering if the number of digs recorded can be correct. They seem too high for me. I was told that the kills recorded by "team A" could have been incorrect, but I didn't think the kills/attempts/ errors could be that far off.
Game 1: team A won in 3 sets. 25-18 25-23 27-25 Team B recorded 80 digs and 2 aces. Team A recorded 105 attempts, 28 kills, 23 errors and 11 aces.
Game 2: team A won in 3 sets. 25-10 25-12 25-19 Team B recorded 61 digs and 9 aces. Team A recorded 81 attempts, 30 kills, 11 errors and 11 aces.
Answer
Hello Chey!
I'm sorry that I didn't answer your question quicker. Let's do this! :)
In match #1: The first thing I saw was 80 digs? Wow. OK, well maybe team B has no beastly hitter, so team A gets of lot of digs. That's about 27 a set. That's a lot in high school. But, then, you showed me team B's stats: In 105 attempts (which is also high for 3 sets!), they had 51 K's + E's, which leaves only 54 balls that are dig-able. So someone is messing up. 28 K's, 23 E's and 11 A's are reasonable.
In match #2, the only problem I see with the stats is: The same problem. According to Team A's stats, they only left 40 balls dig-able, yet team B dug 61. All else looks reasonable.
