Milestones and events
[edit]- New Orleans Open
- Ryan Doherty became the tallest player to win an AVP tournament at 7 ft 1 in (2.16 m).[16]
- Kendra VanZwieten became the shortest player (tied) to win an AVP tournament at 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m).[16]
- AVP Championships
- Two rule changes were tested at the AVP Championships: a "point freeze" at match point, wherein the scoring system changes from rally scoring (either team can score a point on every serve) to side-out scoring (only serving team can score a point) when either team reaches match point; "Let" serves, wherein the ball touches the net while crossing over into the opponent's court during service, are not allowed and the serve will be replayed.[17]
