MWCH was ended but what I want to say is I like this competition format. Athletes didn't play too many matches but every match/set/point matters. It's clean and competitive. Teams hardly cheat in this format. ( Please look at last edition of women's WCH. Serbia didn't play their A team after they secured the spot to advance to next pool and let Japan win)

But I hope FIVB can improve this format by enlarging the size of teams. I hope 30 teams can participate in next MWCH, divided into 6 pools, 5 teams each pool. The top 2 teams of each pool can secure their spot on knockout stage. The last 6 spots to be determined by in combined ranking. 

I hope more countries can be in the game!

The chinese male team is set to play into the ... french pro league. The team would be based somewhere in France, could not be relegated and couldn't either won the championship (but would still participate in the playoff). 

 

Obviously money is involved : 1.3M€ per season
