		After sending my last message, I realized you probably were not affiliated with the FIVB when I first introduced our then version of offensive and defensive scoring.
		In late 1994, the FIVB started developing what is now a version of offensive and defensive scoring called rallypoint.
		In the process we were the first to develope hitting and kicking, multiple point scoring, backcourt scoring, vertical areas of play, penalty point serves, and have implemented a side-out scoring system similiar to rallypoint scoring without penalizing every serve and service team has the game advantage of closure.

	VolleyGate The truth about Rubén Acosta and the F.I.V.B.
		Seppey, FIVB General Director on 8 and 15 January and 18 and 20 February, the Ethics Committee convened in Lausanne on March 2004 and drafted a decision which was submitted to Dr. Acosta´s comments “before drawing conclusions and stating recommendations to the IOC Executive Board.”
		Ignoring, the already recognized forgery of the FIVB statements of 2000 and 2001, they were considered again, recognizing in this way, that the previous World Congress process was fraudulent, because the treatment of those modified financial statements, is the best recognition of the fraud in the Buenos Aires Congress.
		The FIVB used this technique in the past when the former FIVB Internal Auditor, Gudmundur Helgi Thortesteinsson, was appointed as Technical Manager in the FIVB, to compensate his testimony and signature in the adultered financial Statements.
