Tokyoyo 0 Posted June 19, 2017 #163 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Why should Netherlands even play the Final Four? Even if they win the tournament, they won't play in Group I next year. We have no opportunity to collect points for the World Ranking and OG-qualification, neither have for example Belgium, Slovenia and Finland. So, the 12 OG-teams will be from the chosen World League teams. It's a shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps even create their own tournament, like basketball clubs did some years ago. I would not be surprised if the stronger team joined too, as they have their reasons to be angry at FiVB, My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why?

FIBA has made new competition (Champion Legaue) and it turned out to be a total debacle. Champion league in basketball is funny comptiton . All the best teams are in Euroleague. Here is totally different situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Group K1: , , Last time Canada was in the final 6, they got Russia and Brazil. However they did get one victory back then, so maybe they could do it this time too.

Belgium, Slovenia and maybe the Netherlands. AUS, Japan, China and Korea were ranked 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th. so putting them in a 16-team tournament doesn't seem very wrong.

VolleyRuller96 264 Posted June 20, 2017 Author #169 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Apparently Slovenian federation plans to sue FIVB if the new rules will be applied. Slovakian and Dutch federations which will be totally eliminated from World League under the new system stated they will support the Slovenian federation. intoronto 1 My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO.
