I think I would come one weekend to watch the matches, maybe extend couple more days, hopefully my employer lets me 😃😃. Are you coming to watch the tournament?? I think I will because the tournament is at the same time of Asian Games in Hangzhou just 200km away. I think I will spend a couple of days in Beilun to watch it while I will spend majority of time in Hangzhou to watch Asian Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to that. Maybe we can contact each other while coming for a visit. Are you gonna work there? Or being a volunteer? I applied to be a volunteer there long time ago, haven't received a decision yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am gonna just be a full time spectator and I am worried about the accommodation fee at the National Day holiday in Hangzhou. Keep in touch if we are in Hangzhou or Beilun at that time.

Federer91 2,212 Posted September 11, 2023 #34 Share Posted September 11, 2023 New expectations and prognosis about our OQT - 1.5 wins in 7 matches If we manage to beat Mexico and +/- China and not be last in the group. Let everyone else fight it at the top. Josh and maestro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoversaBR 281 Posted September 14, 2023 #35 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Leal will not compete in the tournament due to health problems. Now we only have Lucarelli in the OH position, as the others are useless. Honestly, it's a great opportunity for Iran, Germany or Cuba to win the second quota.

Federer91 2,212 Posted September 14, 2023 #36 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) Didn't know Canada had slipped behind Cuba in the rankings. Their place at the OG doesn't seem so sure now. Will the matches from the OQT count towards the rankings? Edited September 14, 2023 by Federer91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the matches from the OQT count towards the rankings? of course it does count, only two ranking tournaments are left, this and VNL next year both Canada and Cuba are not in top 11 at the moment. that's the minimum you need to qualify. even 11th might not be enough but we will know for sure after the qualifiers. (if any low rank teams qualify directly or not) and it's always possible to re-add Russia somewhere before the Olympics. yeah I know unlikely but not impossible Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If USA is 1-2 in the OQT, then NA won't automatically get another quota from the rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
