2015 Spikers' Turf

The Spikers' Turf 1st Season is the inaugural season of the men's volleyball league Spikers' Turf, the counterpart of the women's Shakey's V-League. In 2014, the Shakey's V-League introduced a men's division during its 21st conference.[1] The following year, Sports Vision, the organizers of the Shakey's V-League decided to spin-off the men's vision as a separate tournament, giving birth to the Spikers' Turf.

gollark: This seems implausible. It would be terrible for everyone involved.
gollark: Simply launch all unhealthy people directly into the sun.
gollark: It would be quite cool. Although exactly what Bell Labs did might be hard to replicate. They had actual commercial goals of some sort to work toward, and good integration with the company's manufacturing and such.
gollark: Or did they finally approve that?
gollark: Don't they already have all the unused AstraZeneca ones?
