Site Updates

There is a new All-Time Records page — every kill, ace, dig and block we have ever tracked, ranked.

Find it up top in the menu under Records (right next to NET Ranking). It opens on the Players boards; flip to Teams with the toggle at the top.

What is in there:

🏅 Kills, Aces, Digs – each shown two ways: the best single season and the best career.
📈 Rate stats – Attack %, Assists/Set, Blocks/Set, Aces/Set, Digs/Set and Serve Receive Rating. To keep it honest, a player needs at least 50 career sets to qualify – no topping the list off two lucky sets.
🏟 Team records too – the same categories, season and all-time, for every franchise.
🔥 Single-match records – the biggest individual kill nights are in there as well.

The page is built to grow, so if there is a stat you want to see ranked, just shout.

Comments got a full makeover across the site — faster, friendlier, and now editable.

Wherever you leave a comment, here is what is new:

😀 Post without the page reloading – type, hit send, and your comment drops in at the top instantly.
😃 Emoji – there is an emoji button right on the comment box, add a little flavor.
✎ Edit or delete your own – changed your mind? You get a 15-minute window to edit or delete anything you posted (small Edit · Delete links show under your own comments).
🕑 Friendlier timestamps – comments now read "Just now", "17m", "6d" instead of a long date, right next to your name and team.

Same clean look everywhere it lives: match reports, the scoreboard, recruiting (auction & rankings), the Coaches Poll, the Wall, ELO & NET rankings, Stats Leaders, Teams of the Week, and the Honor Roll.

(Long-time U1/U2 managers will recognize this one — same comment upgrade, now here in TMVL.)

A heads-up so you never throw away Coaching Points.

Only 15 unused CP carry over to the next session — anything above that is lost. If your orders would leave you with more than 15 CP unspent, you will now see a warning right on the Orders page telling you how many CP you are about to forfeit and the minimum to spend to keep them all. It does not block you from saving — it just makes sure you know before the deadline.

You will also see it in two other spots: your Dashboard Orders check turns yellow (hover to see how much you would lose), and on the top-of-site orders bar your photo gets a gold ring if you are about to waste CP. Bottom line: spend your CP down to 15 or fewer each session and you keep it all.

(This is a recent add to U1/U2 as well — same CP carry-over rule, now here in TMVL.)

Every site change now lives in one place.

When something is added or updated, a gray bar appears up top — "There are recent site updates. Click here for details." — linking to the new Site Updates page, a running change log with the newest items first. The bar shows for about 3 days after each change; the page keeps the full history for whenever you want to catch up.

There is now a reminder bar at the very top of the site so nobody misses a deadline.

Each session you will see "Session N orders needed from:" with a photo for every manager who has not turned in their lineup yet. Hover over any photo to see who it is. Submit your orders and your face drops off — when everyone is in, the bar disappears.

At end-of-season it becomes separate XP and Walk-On reminder bars. Quick key: red = you still owe it, gold = optional or free value you are leaving behind, gone = you are all set. Hover any photo for the specifics.

During Session 13 (XP + Walk-On time) you'll see color-coded reminders around the site so nobody leaves free value on the table or starts the season short.

The "orders needed" bars at the top of the page — if your photo is up there, you still have something to do. Hover your photo for the specifics.

XP orders:
🔴 Red ring – no XP orders in yet.
🟡 Gold ring – you started, but you're leaving XP on the table (a player could still be raised).
○ No photo – all set, you XP'd to potential.

Walk-Ons:
🔴 Red ring – your projected roster is below the minimums. This one you MUST fix.
🟡 Gold ring – roster is fine, but you have not grabbed your FREE 3-star walk-on. It is free – don't sleep on it!
○ No photo – roster meets minimums and free 3-star taken.

Your Dashboard box (top-right) uses the same idea for XPs and Walk Ons:
✅ Green – all set.
🟡 Yellow – okay, but missing something optional or free (hover for what).
❌ Red – a real gap (no XP in, or roster below minimums).

Rule of thumb: red = must do it, yellow = should do it, green = done. Roster minimums (L 2 / S 2 / OH 4 / RS 2 / MB 4, 16 total) are the only hard requirement – the yellows are me nudging you not to waste free value.

The XP / Walk-On orders page got a big upgrade so you never have to re-enter everything.

• It remembers your orders. Come back later and your saved XP checkboxes and walk-on picks are already filled in – just change what you want.
• Walk-On slots stay put. Whatever you save in Walk-On #1, #3, etc. comes back in that same slot – no more shuffling.
• Cleaner saves. Updating your XP orders now updates in place instead of wiping and re-adding, so nothing gets lost.

Same page, same link – it just works better now. As always, email Al with any questions.
