As we know, the men's EuroVolley 2019 will take place between 13 and 30 September in :BEL:FRA , :NED and :SLO and feature 24 teams.

We now also know that the host cities in France will be Montpellier, Nantes and Paris.

Also, rumours say that for some reason Czech Republic won't organise the women's eurovolley :( But at the other hand, their place as a host was apparently taken by Slovakia, so it won't be a big deal ;) Also, this is the first time :HUN and  :SVK would host any serious volleyball competition outside the World League :d

 

So the Hosts of next year's championshis now are supposed to be:
 

:BEL :FRA :NED:SLO in men's championship

:HUN :POL :SVK :TUR in women's championship.

This saturday will start the Playoff Scudetto Unipolsai (Men Volleyball), who do you think will win the Italian championship?
I will ask the same for the girls when P.O. will start (17th/18th of March).

As far as Italian league goes, I am a huge Modena and Civitanova fan, so my dream final would be between those two clubs :d Sadly one of them will be eliminated in semis :( 

Also I would not complain if a serious surprise would take place ( like in women's Poland Cup where a team from the II division defeated the winners from last year and advanced to semifinal.)

Yep, I'm ready for everything (or almost haha)!
I see Perugia so well right now, but who knows...

My favourite club, PGE Skra Belchatow won Polish Championships yesterday after a win over Zaksa :d its the 1st time since 2014 and 9th overall :d

 

Also, last time they won the PlusLiga in 2014, our NT won gold at the World Championships. Now they win again and it's the world championship season... :evil:

FIVB  decided that there won't be any free streaming for the upcoming games of Nations League or the World Championship. :wall:

 

In the previous editions, people were able to watch the games for free on YouTube - the interest was huge even in the lower divisions (I remember a :TPEgame once had nearly 20.000 people viewing the livestream)  and the last edition of World League helped FIVB's channel get over 50.000  new subscribers.

 

But now, the FIVB decided that, in order to promote volleyball and reach even bigger global audience they are starting their own OTT channel (just as Netflix or Hulu). 

 

But wait , there is even more "great news", as according to American sources the yearly subscription will cost between 150-200 $:wacko:

I think it will be only second paid IF channel (after FEI TV).

    • 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.
