Iamsoangreek 0 Posted September 4, 2017 #393 Share Posted September 4, 2017 For me,the best tournament system is what Len had used for some years,at Water Polo European Championships. 12 teams,2 groups of 6,the first of each group qualifies for the semifinal,while second and third teams play an additional "quarterfinal" match" You would argue that 12 teams for volleyball are few,but it could be counterweighed by strong qualification round,like: -Every team except the host participates,no automatic qualifications to tournament based on perfomance at previous tournaments -First and second round for "weak teams".Home and away matches. -Third round 24 teams-,winners of second round and "strong" teams,6 groups of 4, 1 host team per group.single matches(3 per team).First two qualify for the tournament.

The one from 2010 was awful and favored Italy heavily, the one from 2014 was good except for that useless 3rd round. The best one was the one from 2006, which was the same as 2014 but without that silly round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i think the same system will be used in 2018 edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodshy10 10 Posted September 7, 2017 #397 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Unfortunately, weak performance of Bulgaria at these European games! Traditionally factor in european and world volleyball, Bulgaria finished 6-th .... Congrats to Russia, which took gold for 14-th time in european games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
