JoshMartini007 2,210 Posted April 16, 2019 #21 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I'd prefer 4 groups of 3 teams than 3 groups of 4 teams... dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say it's to make it more interesting and that teams have tougher time "picking" their opponents from other group. We did see some instances where no3 in the group in which USA isn't is essentialy better position than no2 in the same group, cause you avoid USA in the semis.

hukbrazil 18 Posted April 17, 2019 #23 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I liked the changes because it will make each game more decisive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 16 teams from the World Cup and 8 teams from the rankings (2 from each continent) will compete in four tournaments of six teams with the winner qualifying to the Olympics.

Olympian1010 7,477 Posted September 4, 2019 #29 Share Posted September 4, 2019 This qualification system isn’t much better than the FIVB’s in my opinion. It should be the top 4 from the World Cup. The best team from each of the five regions. The hosts. Then give us two Olympic qualification tournaments with the best ranked unqualified teams. “Sport has the power to change the world.

NearPup 2,156 Posted September 4, 2019 #30 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) So, every team that made the Ro16 at the world cup is guaranteed a spot in one of the four final Olympic qualification tournament. In the end the top 23 or 24 teams (depending on where Japan finishes) will qualify. However, based on FIBA ranking the following teams that aren’t currently guaranteed to qualify for the OQT based on their World Cup finish should qualify: Africa: 1. Nigeria 2. Senegal Angola and Tunisia should also be safe. Egypt, Cameroon and Morocco are on the bubble in that order. Americas: 1. Mexico 2. Canada Mexico cannot qualify through the World Cup. If Canada qualifies for the OQT through the World Cup their spot should go to Uruguay. Other than whether Canada qualifies through the World Cup or the world ranking there is no drama here. Asia / Oceania: 1. Iran 2. China The Philippines and South Korea should also be safe. New Zealand, Jordan, Lebanon and Taiwan are on the bubble, in that order. Europe: 1. Slovenia 2. Croatia This one is actually pretty secure since neither Slovenia nor Croatia can qualify for the OQT through the WC. The above assumes no major shakeup in the relative world ranking of the teams that fail to make the top 16 at the World Cup. Edit: this qualification system is terrible.
