I didn't think it would be possible to find a worse format than the one used in 2018 but here we go

It's literally a combination of 2010 and 2018, which were the two worst formats ever  the single worst thing is the "all results carried" rule, ofc.

FIVB is just great in this I can't understand their obsession with this "Final six" thing. what's wrong with having 8 teams and quarterfinal round ?

btw I was checking old results and FIVB is changing format since 1994! they never used the same format twice since then in the men's WCh. I think Volleyball is the only team sport with this.

Why on Earth does South America have just 2 teams, whereas Africa has 3 teams and North America has 5?

World Ranking. The only way nations like Chile or Colombia could qualify was if they had placed ahead of Argentina and Brazil at the South American championships (and that's not happening anytime soon).

The format has been changed, since now they are looking to host the WCh in several countries...six pools of 4 teams each, then directly to the knockout phase with the top 16 (including the four best third placed teams). From 3 pool stages to 1, with a maximum of 7 matches played in total by the finalists.  it's unclear if the pools will stay the same, with another team in place of Russia, or there will be another draw
