World Cup was an unfair tournament and i'm glad it won't count for the Olympics. It shouldn't count for the rankings too imo.

I don't know if it's so urgent - the Congress is in two weeks, after they set the rules for ranking we can make a simulation.

Let's hope they will announce this rules  Besides we know which tournaments will count (if Przedpelski is right) but we don't know how many points will be for each of them. It also can be changed.

lol "bidding" it should be the highest ranked team that gets the right to host.

 

Now it's evident why the change in format, FIVB's trying to grind some extra money from federations.

Our federation says on Twitter that we will play Canada, Finland and China in qualification tournament. Any official words from somewhere else?

No, but FIVB rankings are updated.

So it should be:

1) Brazil - Egypt - Bulgaria - Puerto Rico or Korea

2) USA - Belgium - Netherlands - Korea or Puerto Rico

3) Italy - Serbia - Australia - Cameroon

4) Poland - France - Slovenia - Tunisia

5) Russia - Iran - Cuba - Mexico

6) Canada - Argentina - Finland - China

So, it's confirmed.. one of Italy, Poland, Serbia and France won't go to the games.

Wow Canada lucked out, if they don't qualify here or at qualifiers then they don't deserve the chance to be there
