Great Britain (host) (111)
Italy (World Cup) (4)
USA (World Cup) (1)
China (World Cup) (5)
Algeria (CAVB) (16)
Dominican Repub (Norceca) (9)
Turkey (CEV) (11)
Brazil (CSV) (2)
Korea (Asia) (13)
Russia (Qual) (7)
Serbia (Qual) (6)
Japan (Qual) (3)
those rankings were from January, will they do new ones prior to Olympics?? And, if I recall, the pools are snake seeded with the host being #1?

And, if I recall, the pools are snake seeded with the host being #1? The January rankings apply. Seedings for the competition draw will be determined by the world ranking positions at 15 January 2012. |

I heard that a drawing of lots will be held to determine the pools.

haven't they always seeded the teams?? never heard of drawing into pools.
So, snake seeding as I understand
Pool A 1 4 5 8 9 12
Pool B 2 3 6 7 10 11
England gets #1 seed as host...
Pool A (1-4-5-8-9-12)
England
Japan
Italy
Russia
Dominican Repub
Algeria
Pool B (2-3-6-7-10-11)
USA
Brazil
China
Serbia
Turkey
Korea
that is a pretty brutal pool B!!!

Algeria and Korea will have to draw lots to see who is in Group B. That's what I heard.
