NearPup 2,095 Posted April 7, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Good news everybody! Volleyball is now using three pools of four teams, top two plus two best third places qualify for the quarterfinals. This is the most urban, youthful and gender equal format. dcro, CCB and EupenM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Liu 1,558 Posted September 10, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Mysteriously enough, Belgium's men's world ranking points rising from 151 to 153 as it didn't play any games during the WCH. When WCH group stage ended, China ranked #25 while Belgium #26. It means we barely got the ticket to OQT as we are top24 excluding France. But today Belgium got 2 extra points and China dropped to #26. I am really confused and furious. Does anyone know the reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know the reason? sometimes it took few days for FIVB to update the ranking (they are fast for main events but not for the rest). those 2 points belong to Belgium / Faroe Islands match in 2023 Euro Qualifiers late in August. China is still in if Russia remains banned Vic Liu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the reason but the rest of 2023 Euro Qualifiers all counted before WCH began. Only this match is left over and meanwhile somehow critical makes it not so convincing for me. But I can't fly back to Sep.1st to see it's counted at that timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,537 Posted September 12, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 12, 2022 According to the World Ranking updated to this morning, and given that Russia are still banned, this should be the lineup of the 3 world qualification tournaments: Group A Poland Argentina Slovenia Turkiye Canada Egypt Belgium China Group B Italy Japan Iran Netherlands Ukraine Tunisia Czech Republic Qatar Group C (by far the most complicated) Brazil USA Serbia Cuba Germany Mexico Bulgaria Finland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunadan 1,103 Posted September 12, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Yep, we have to know the hosts first, since they will be placed at #1, 2, 3 as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,537 Posted September 12, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 12, 2022 you're right, but I bet a high prize that the hosts will be Poland, Italy and Brazil... the only threat to that is Japan stripping Italy's tournament...however, after yesterday's triumph (also in terms of tv ratings), it's unlikely it happens...
