But I caught a little of the regular volleyball as well, and I was amazed to see both games now use the system where a point can be scored whether you're serving or not. When did this start, and why? I mean, it's not like volleyball generates ratings -- were they just tired of games going on forever? And how would anyone get tired of women's beach volleyball going on?
