* :LAT & :GER qualified thanks to I don't know which absurd criteria (in the 3-way tie between :LAT, :GER & :ITA, the Italian pair have a better set & point ratio of the Germans, but still they're out of the tournament :mumble:)...

Should be total head-to-head points from comparing only those three pairs. LAT +5, GER -1, ITA -4

Wait, so if the Italians had lost on purpose the 2nd set against GER once reached 19 points instead of winning it they would have advanced? :facepalm:

probably they didn't even know this rule...I'm pretty sure they thought about winning (to close the door to every other option) or, at worst, they had to count on the set & then point ratio...

 

otherwise, if they knew that rule, they Marta, Viktoria and all of their coaches are just a bunch of idiots (hopefully they will qualify in any case through the WR, but if this was their only chance, I just can't believe they made such a "tactical" mistake)...

 

p.s. fivb rules for tie-breaking suck big time! once again...

I had a look on YouTube and they were simply outsmarted by the Germans, who needed a few minutes of "medical assistance" at 20-19 and then threw away the set with a service fault.

 

Yeah, rules that allows this to happen suck big time.

Yeah if you always win every match you never have to worry about classification rules. But that rarely happens...no pair in this tournament won all the matches.

Having as a first tie breaker the matches against each other is not that unusual. It's done at Football European Championships as well, for example.

I'm talking about giving more importance to points difference rather than set difference (or ratio)...that creates situations where losing a set is better than winning it.

ITA-GER 1-2 (15-21, 21-19, 9-15) = GER advance.

If it ended 0-2 (15-21, 19-21) ITA would have advanced (that's why the Germans threw the 2nd set imo). But ok, that's the rule and so be it.

    • It comes down to what is taught in Poland about the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Union of Lublin isn't shown as unfavorable for Lithuania as it really was. A lot of the southern territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was "given" to Poland but it was actually stolen by Poles, the Polish language overpowered the Lithuanian one among the elites, the common coin was Polish-based. At one point, the PLC starts to get treated like one big country, with Vilnus as one of the major cities of Poland. The Vilnius University shown as an important Polish university, Mickiewicz calling Lithuania his home while writing in Polish, etc. The whole stuff after the World War One is barely touched in the high school when barely anyone cares about history anyway, I guess most people don't even know it. With this lack of the knowledge, Vilnus is one of the lost Polish cities, just like Lviv. The current animosities are down to the early 2010s and Grybauskaitė being the president of Lithuania - when there was the increase of the Lithuanian subjects taught in the Polish schools, troubles with Polish surnames, places' and streets' names. The Polish hooligans were also quick to pick it up. To be honest, Lithuania isn't looked down at but people don't understand why Lithuania has the right not to like Poland.
    • Maciusiak is a budget option for the 'lean years' that are set to kick in. This was planned for many years once Stoch, Kubacki & Żyła retire (or become too old to have good results). We don't have any juniors and the development has been screwed for many seasons now. Results should get even worse especially if Wąsek suddenly drops off w/o Thurnbichler (as he was the only one who clearly profited under TT's coaching).
    • World Cup Finals in Planica (SLO)   Men´s Team Flying Hill:   1.  Austria (Tschofenig/Fettner/Hoerl/Kraft)    1749.3 2. Germany (Geiger/Wellinger/Paschke/Eisenbichler)    1720.2 3. Slovenia (Kos/Prevc/Zajc/Lanisek)    1707.2   Full Final Result HERE
    • Matt Denny threw 68.17,possibly not what he was looking for his final meet before ramona,but we'll see how that goes.  
    • Lachlan Kennedy had a huge pb to beat gout gout over  200 meters at the maurie plant meet .
    • Sory  my mistake "99% has no problems" should be.  Apologize for this mistake. Nobody in Poland even talk about this kind of issue.
    • I have no clue who these ''99'' procent are and it's actually this annoying  superiorioty complex attitude that actually gets poles disliked here.Vilnius is OUR CAPITAL,it has been so forever,poland has no basis to have it,the fact we were once in a commenwealth does not mean you just get to declare another city yours.i don't know how you wrote this comment and expected me to have a good reacton to it.
    • Italy's bad luck again. We can't break through this season - even if we achieve some success, a slip-up comes in a moment and it's like that all the time. Today could have been gold for us if the American hadn't cut Moiola. This season is like that, let it finally end and let the next one be better for us - and above all less unlucky. We have 15x 4/5 places this winter season, with only 14 podiums and that's unlucky.
    • Dorival Junior has been fired as NT manager. No surprise. The 'Vinicius era' team is probably even worse than 'Neymar era' team
