It isn't classic serpentine system. Groups will be drawn as below:
Gr. A
Seed 1 (France)
Seed 4, 5 or 6
Seed 7, 8 or 9
Seed 10, 11 or 12
Gr. B
Seed 2
Seed 4, 5 or 6
Seed 7, 8 or 9
Seed 10, 11 or 12
Gr. C
Seed 3
Seed 4, 5 or 6
Seed 7, 8 or 9
Seed 10, 11 or 12
It's good decision. It would be unfair France and Kenya in the same group. Drawing while VNL Finals (men).
I like this prediction. Currently only Gruszczyńska/Wachowicz has virtual qualification. Bryl is injured, so Bryl/Łosiak are behind top 17. Kantor/Zdybek is new team, they don't have enough points, but in ranking they are getting higher.
