VIS & Stats Commission proposes new formula of evaluation

 

   

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, February 10, 2016 – A new formula to evaluate the overall skills of outside hitters, middle-blockers, opposite players and setters has been proposed by the VIS and Statistics Commission of NORCECA during its annual meeting on Wednesday.

 

The new formula allows a comprehensive evaluation of the best players in each of those positions for the composition of the ideal team in each of the competition.

 

The president of the commission Judith Sandino said the formula will be integrated to the VIS system and tested during the U23 Women’s Pan American Cup in Peru later this year.

 

Alberto Rigamonti, director of Info & Technology of FIVB, took part in the meeting through a video conference and will implement a formula based on the different skills percentage proposed by the commission.

 

It is the second consecutive year that the members of the VIS & Stats Commission analyze the convenience of using an expanded formula to gauge the overall skills of the players. It will be submitted to the Board of Administration of NORCECA.

 

The VIS & Stats Commission reviewed the participation of their delegates at the NORCECA volleyball and beach volleyball competitions in 2015 and prepared the working plan for a busy 2016 season.
