Natalie Scherer, reporter, CAFNR Corner Post

September 23, 2003-Twelve teams from the CAFNR came out and participated in the annual volleyball tournament. The winners were third place, Ag Rho 2, second place, Ag Week Steering Committee, and first place, Ag Rho 1. For the second consecutive year, Ag Rho has won the tournament.

"This is a tradition in the Ag School. Each year the amount of teams seems to get larger, so I think that everyone has a great time playing. Hopefully this year, we will have an even bigger turnout than last year!" Stacey Werr, Junior, Student Council Student Involvement Committee Chair.

The teams were Ag Rho1 and Ag Rho 2, Collegiate Cattle Women, GDI 1 and GDI 2, Ag Learning Community, Sigma Alpha, FFA Alumni, Ag Week Steering Committee, ACT, Block and Bridle and Farmhouse.

The CAFNR student council was asked to sponsor the tournament by the Ag Week steering committee. An entry fee of $30 per team was charged. The entry fee charged goes toward a cash prize to the top 3 teams and to the cost of renting the Recreation Center where the tournament was held.

Basic Rules of volleyball were followed. They were 1)A maximum of 6 players per team, with half of each team being females. 2) Rally scoring will be used to determine the winner of each match. 3) Matches will be played until winner reaches 21 points. 4) Winner will advance to next level of play after winning 2 out of 3 matches. 5) Tournament will be played using a Double Elimination Bracket. 6) Judges will be made up of various members of other teams waiting to play. 7) Lines are considered in.
