"A fine cigar is the essence of life. The tobacco plant comes from the earth, from which we ourselves were created. Like ourselves, each leaf grows and is nurtured individually, acquiring its own characteristics, and is then graded, sorted, and matured according to their special abilities. As tobacco comes to its graduation in the making of cigars, as with the making of adults, some is left on the cutting room table and become ordinary, run-of-the-mill products. Some graduate into leadership and areas of responsibility, but a few achieve greatness, and even a touch of immortality." -Prince Sined Yar Maharg

Contest from the Newbie

Hey guys, I figured what better way to break the ice than to have a contest.  The winner will get cigars from my stash.  No idea what might fall in the box, but it will most likely include some AJ cigars, maybe a Don Pepin and who knows what else.  Not sure how many, but I seem to have a problem counting.

So here is the contest.  My daughter is 16 years old and plays volleyball for her high school and she also plays club ball.  Guess her jersey number AND her position.  First correct guess wins.  One guess per day.  

Good Luck!

I don't know what club ball is lol. And volley ball has positions? I thought up and back was all. I'm gonna need to study for this one I think. Great idea man thanx for contest!

Hmm yeah I have no idea either about positions in volleyball, how accurate do you want it?

I'm guessing her number is 12 and she plays middle front row....don't they rotate after every turn at serving?

Great idea for a contest, I think it'll go a few days unless someone makes a very lucky guess.
This is not the admin you're looking for...

They do rotate, but the players will shift after the serve to their position on the court.  So "middle front row" is called a Middle Blocker.  Middle back row is called a libero.

I said club ball, which is also called select ball.  They tryout for teams, then we pay a lot of money for her to play. :shootme:

First off welcome to the group, I will guess #17 and she is the setter.

Thanks for the welcome guys!  I'll give an update each day on how close anyone has come.  If nobody guesses right in a week, I'll give it to the closest guess without going over.  How's that?

Tuesday night update:  someone got really close to winning the whole thing.  Let's get some terminology straight, so everything is fair.  The whole front row can attack, so need a bit more.  If you're facing the net, left front is called outside hitter.  Right front is opposite hitter.  Middle is middle blocker.  Back row: Middle is called libero, left back is defensive specialist and right back is the setter.
Another round of guesses tomorrow.  Good luck everyone!

Is it wrong that 2 of my girls play volleyball and I don't know the positions?  :)
