There will probably be a few more neutral events in the future. As the sport grows, more programs will probably like to minimize travel which could lower costs.

Growth takes many forms and one of them is neutral site events. Love to see it!

The UCSB used to be over 15 teams. First Point and JBJ are annual events now. I believe other players will enter the fray as they have access to venues. The HBCU challenge will flourish as well.i am excited to see what is next.

Thank you for your posts, TJ. Love the fact-based analysis...

One trend I'dl ike to see explored is this: How often does the team that wins the first set go on to win the match?

Also, I have my version of Lawler's Law (former LA Clipoers announcer Ralph Lawler) who always stated the first team to 100 usually wins...Miggy's Law is this: The first team to 20 usually wins. Can this be proven?

These are great! The first one I can look into pretty easily. I'll see what I can find in the next week or so.

The second one is going to be tougher since I don't have point-by-point data. Doesn't mean it can't be done. It would just take me longer. No promises on that one, but it would be awesome to find out.
