In ?Saipan?s Own Sport? there are more thrills to skills incorporated in play than any other variation of the Meso-American Aztec sport that gave birth to volleyball, any where else in the world. Saipan?s Own Sport is the leader of innovations and it?s called Rocball.
In volleyball the equation of profit per play is limited to one point executions off any possible athletic skill, at any level of difficulty, from any area on court. When Rocball implemented offensive and defensive scoring and multiple point scoring techniques in this type of team net sports, one of its primary purposes was to identify the different degrees of difficulty inherent but inhibited in the competitive and athletic skills of the game and its players under the old side-out system of volleyball and further constrained under the rally point system of volleyball.

The points of proof comes from the Rocball players ability to score two point aces, two point backcourt plays, and three point goals in addition to one point court plays. And, in Rocball, with one exception, the net value of the sport comes from the serve. A ball has to be served over the net to initiate competition and a team cannot win a set or game without the serve

This year Ben Lisua and Myron Laniyo, good examples of Rocball?s current and past ?Master Blasters?, exemplify the artful ability of competing in the sport that preceded rally point anemic by a dozen years. Ben Lisua of team Soul Rebels is this years first and only master of scoring. Ben has scored at least once in each of the five different scoring categories of Rocball. Ben has scored aces, xunks, kees, goals, and the jam. A ?jam? has proven to be the most difficult of plays to complete. The jam is a defensive play made by a player at the net that can spike down a served ball.
Myron Laniyo of No-Mercy is this year?s leading scorer by heavy hitting in games with a total of eleven aces, ten xunks, thirty two kees, and four goals for total of one hundred and twenty two points, averaging about twenty five points a game in aces, xunks, kees, and goals in addition to Myron?s one point court scoring.
In Rocball games completed last week, No-Mercy came from behind in the fourth set of their game with the Projects to win and juice-out in four sets. The Projects had the lead going into the fourth set 44 to 36 and only had to win the final set to win their fifth consecutive game. But,
No-Mercy, lead by veterans Myron Laniyo, David Tisa, and Ichnis Kapwich lead the drive to win the fourth set 16 to 6, a ten point margin, which gave No-Mercy a game point total of 52 to the Projects ending fourth quarter game point score of 50, and caused the Projects their first loss in Rocball.
In the game between the Soul Rebels and CPC, the Soul Rebels with ?Master Blaster? Ben Lisua defeated CPC in four sets 69 to 38. The Soul Rebels won the game in a shut-out by winning all four sets 16 to 11, 18 to 6, 16 to 6 and 19 to 15. The heavy hitter of the game was John Nekaifes of the Soul Rebels with 3 aces and 6 kees for 18 points.
No-Mercy and the Projects are tied for first place with four wins and one loss each. The Fanians are in second place with three wins and no losses but need more games to play to hold their league position , and the team One-Way is in third place with four wins and four losses with one game left to play in the season.
