Dunadan 1,103 Posted November 29, 2017 #91 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) The draw is tomorrow. Apparently two teams will be placed in each group using a serpentine system based on the world ranking, with Italy in Pool A and Bulgaria in Pool D. So we should have: POOL A (in Italy): Italy, Argentina POOL B (in Bulgaria): Brazil, Canada POOL C (in Italy): USA, Russia POOL D (in Bulgaria): Bulgaria, Poland and then a draw with POT 3: Iran, France, Serbia, Japan POT 4: Egypt, Belgium, Cuba, Australia POT 5: Finland, China, Slovenia, Tunisia POT 6: Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Cameroon, Dominican Republic And this is the formula Edited November 29, 2017 by Dunadan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,181 Posted November 29, 2017 #92 Share Posted November 29, 2017 This system is so bad i don't know where to begin... The main flaw however is that it makes tomorrow's draw absolutely decisive for any team with pretentions to make the third round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoversaBR 281 Posted November 29, 2017 #93 Share Posted November 29, 2017 So the world champion will play 13 games in 20 days? I do not know if the FIVB believes that athletes are human. Anyway, I hope we face a difficult group this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it's 12 games, one less than 2014. hoversaBR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoversaBR 281 Posted November 30, 2017 #98 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Group D is the most balanced ... Brazil vs France in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunadan 1,103 Posted November 30, 2017 #99 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I don't know how they will decide the 2nd round pools...probably 2 teams from pool A vs 2 teams from pool C in Italy and 2 teams from pool B vs 2 teams from pool D in Bulgaria, but which ones?
