New World ranking senior women.

Sorry for Serbia.

Well, probably a much better ranking system, I like that now every match result will be calculated, but still, why don't they use decimals ? It would make it much more clear to understand. I mean, currently Mexico and China have 136 points each and are ranked 25th and 26th respectively, but Dominica and Haiti, which have 58 points, are both ranked 88th, so there has to be a difference.  It would be much better if they used decimal formula, for example a team could have 123.75 points, the next team would have 123.25 points etc.

If you feel bored after almost all main events have been cancelled due to the coronavirus and can't find anything to watch, there are some good news (if you like volleyball, that is ) FIVB has decided it will upload replays of some of the best international Volleyball matches in recent years for free on their Youtube Channel. Sure, it's not the same as watching it live, but at least its something

 

Today they added the men's volleyball match - from Nations League 2018 preliminary round, you can watch it here:

 

Tommorow they will be broadcasting the women's match between and   from World Cup 2015

 

 

On the 25th of March they will add the Division 1 match  vs from Men's World League 2017.
