They use a very weird format for volleyball. but based on my understanding here is the bracket

 

Saudi Arabia vs Chinese Taipei

Thailand vs Indonesia

Qatar vs Myanmar

---------------------

Korea vs Pakistan

Japan vs India

Iran vs China

 

winner of matches in bold will go directly to the semifinal and for example winner of KOR/PAK match will play the winner of JPN/IND match and winner will play the winner of IRN/CHN.

 

so that's a sure thing we will have a new finalist in the history of Asian Games. Iran, China, Japan and Korea they are aill in bottom half ! (even though Japan and China are here with B teams) none of those teams in top half played in AG final before. Indonesia somehow invented this crazy format to find a way into the medal round. but they lost to Saudi Arabia and Saudis as Group A winner took their place . still Indonesia was lucky in the blind draw for 2nd placed teams and got into the top half.

 

well, it's not that weird...it's just a partial round of 16 with only 12 teams...

 

you can look at that bracket like this:

KSA bye

TPE bye

THA vs INA

QAT vs MYA

KOR vs PAK

JPN vs IND

IRI bye

CHN bye

 

which is going to build those quarterfinals:

KSA vs TPE

THA/INA vs QAT/MYA

KOR/PAK vs JPN/IND

IRI vs CHN

 

and then semis and finals...

it's unusual because of the fact that 2 quarterfinals are already set before the partial eightfinals, but still, not so crazy at it could look at first sight...;)

well technically all those matches are eightfinals. and then the winner of those two mentioned matches will get bye in the quarterfinal. winners will be top 6 . for example if China loses to Iran they have to play for 7th to 12th places.

 

they wanted to help Indonesia, so they gave that chance to Indonesia (host) and Iran (as seed 1, defending champion) but why China and Taipei are having that privilege ?! based on what they are getting such advantage ? they didn't win their groups. and you don't give bye in knockout rounds in team sports.

 

AVC invented a super weird system this year and used it for all competitions. you can check Junior, Youth and Asian Club champs. and I will award you a PhD if you find a logic for that format. :d specially for AVC Cup with 9 teams. but the format they use here is ever more weird.

I understand they have a particular need (to protect home team)...

and I agree on the fact that they are doing it not in a clean way...

but still,  I only wanted to find some logic in the actual development of the final bracket (provided that they built it without any logic and without any fair play)...;)

and looking at that bracket in the way I suggested, someone could even find that (strange and unfair) logic...

 

p.s. no idea of what they did in the other competitions...and no, thanks...I don't event want to try and understand that (even if I can easily guess from your words that they've been very creative, so to say :facepalm:)...

We have 45+1 (COR) NOCs in the competition. 33 of them already won a medal at least. 13 left without a medal

 

:KUW:PLE:SRI:YEM:TLS:NEP:BAN:BHU:BRU:MDV:OMA:TJK:SYR

 

surprising that Kuwait is still in this list ! I think they will win few medals. probably in Karate

Tajikistan will win a medal by Nazarov tomorrow, and I think Syria stands a big chance in High jump (I assume that guy Ghazal is favorite for the gold since Barshim is not here) and I assume Sri Lanka will have some chances in athletics, right ?

 

but what about the rest ?! Nepal blew a big chance today. for Oman the only notable athlete I know is Al-Harthi but he is just one of the favorites. I was expecting Brunei and East Timor to do something in Pencak silat but they didn't ! looks like there is no chance for Maldives, Palestine, Bangladesh and Bhutan , right ?

I think Yemen has outside chance in Kurash.

 

note: only 3 NOCs never won a medal in AG, Maldives, East Timor and Bhutan. we should have Palestine in this list too but they won a lucky bronze in boxing back in 2002 only because of his lucky draw.

Oman still has a chance in 49er Sailing but they weren't so good today.

@dcro might know more about that.

Sri Lanka's long jumper has the number 1 jump in the field this season (8.12) but he only got 7.56 in the qualifiers.

Their 4x400 relay team should challenge for a medal.

Their 200m women sprinter won silver last year at Asian championships along with their 800m runners (gold and silver). This season performances haven't been as good, but I think the big names are missing?

Their 3000m steeplechase women athlete broke the NR, and has third ranked time in Asia.

The men's Rugby sevens team should also challenge for a medal (ranked fourth in Asia).

 

I hope at least one medal comes out of that!

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
