Iranian team of Raoufi/Salemi won the Asian Championship today in Thailand ! that was a big surprise since they were 15th seed before the event ! :clap:

 

Does anybody know what's the tiebreaking criteria in beach volleyball ? I assumed it's the same as indoor volleyball but I was wrong

 

look at Pool A here

the Iranian team who eventually won the competition should be eliminated in 1st round if set ratio was the tie breaker, is this point ratio ? or only points ratio between tied teams ?

Are there no pools in FIVB events anymore or is their website just really messed up now that they changed it? I can't find pool standings anywhere, including the 'pool standings' tab. All it does is show results of the 'round of 32' but that's not all teams, because even when looking at those results + qualifying, several teams that are listed in the 'teams' tab are just missing.

It seems this is a direct elimination tournament

BOARD DISCUSSES OLYMPIC QUALIFICATION PROCESS FOR TOKYO 2020

Beach volleyball qualification process
The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will include a total of 24 teams per gender. Qualification places are allocated to national federations and not teams, with each national federation allowed to have a maximum of two teams representing them per gender.

As hosts, Japan are guaranteed one qualification berth per gender.

The World Olympic Qualification tournament will provide two places to the Olympic Games, and the 16 teams participating in this tournament will be based on the World Tour ranking as of December 31, 2018.  One place will be made available to the winning country of the 2019 Beach Volleyball World Championships. 

The 15 highest ranked teams on the Olympic Ranking List will each earn one quota place for their national federation to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, with the remaining five places will be given to the national federations that win the Continental Cup Finals.

Volleyball and beach volleyball at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo

Tokyo sees the Olympic Games return there after they were first hosted in the Japanese capital in 1964. For volleyball there is special significance and emotion, as it was in Tokyo 1964 that the sport was first officially introduced to the Olympic Programme.

The Games of the XXXII Olympiad will begin on Friday, July 24 with the opening ceremony and wrap up on Sunday, August 9 when the Olympic flame will be extinguished and the Olympic flag handed over to the organisers of the 2024 Games. Both the opening and the closing ceremonies will be held at the Tokyo Olympic Stadium, which is undergoing an extensive facelift for the event.

The men's and women's volleyball tournaments will be held at the to-be-built Ariake Arena, designed for 12,000 spectators, on area reclaimed from the sea. The Ariake area will also host cycling, gymnastics and tennis at Tokyo 2020.

Apparently Croatian national team football player Ivan Perišić will take part in the Major Series stage in Poreč later this month (FIVB approved it).

 

Well, that just goes to show how strong our beach volleyball is. :lol: Poreč has been host to this for like 2-3 years, but there hasn't been any improvement in our beach volleyball.

I'm confused, do teams nowadays only play two matches in a group of 4 teams? In The Hague it most definitely seems like the play-offs in the women's tournament are starting, even though every team only played 2 group matches yet..

Surely that can't be right?

    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
    • The news then is that she has not yet been arrested? I suppose Camila when she returns to Italy will have a very unwelcome visit from the Guardia di Finanza.
