According to some Slovenian sources (so still not official), 20 teams will participate in the European League this year, which will be split into two divisions: "GOLD" division with 12 teams and "SILVER" division with 8 teams.

Supposedly this are the groups of the GOLD division

 

Group A: :BEL:EST:SVK:SWE

Group B: :SLO:NED:TUR:UKR

Group C: :FIN:POR:CZE:ESP

My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why? Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyIOarNAONk

Is the German league interesting? I never followed it much tbh :d ... I now watch the Italian Superlega and a bit of the Russian league (luckily they stream it for free) and try to follow the standings of some others (especially the Argentinian, French, Polish, Turkish and Brasilian leagues).

I don't watch men's volleyball leagues (or any club competition) but this year in Poland we can watch women's Italian league, which is far more exciting than Polish "Only Chemik wins" league. Though if I was to choose who's more attractive, Bednarek-Kasza or Chirichella... ;)

I only watch our league when matches are shown on tv (a few every week), then Perugia occasionally. Don't really have time to watch more than that though I follow results and statistics of every team in the world that has an argentine player in it.

 

Oh, all this is men's volleyball. I don't watch women's at all, only follow national teams.

Yeah, it is really interesting to watch, it starts to be one of the better leagues in europe,especially Berlin and Friedrichshafen are very strong clubs, and they have really great atmosphere during the matches too :d

Those are basically the only two teams I know of the German league :mumble::lol: thanks btw, I will try to take a look whenever I'll have the time!

 

+ As for women's matches I only follow Italian league tbh, especially my hometown's team.

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
