Anyone know how big the main draw is going to be this year? It's been 32 teams per gender the last couple of years, but they have had 64-teams sometimes in the past. Or given SLC, only 16 or 24 teams? And what about a qualifier? The website if pretty devoid of information. Just that its running Friday through Sunday.

Men's entry list now posted.
Jennings again registered with Fuerbringer. Slick with Engle. Wonder if Fuerbringer is actually playing this time around.
On the women's side - Annett Davis and Rachel Scott will be an interesting team to see how many wins experience can get you.

Looking forward to this one.
the dual tourneys last weekend diluted the play.
I think the AVP got teams 1-5ish and 20-28, the NVL got 6-15 and 28-40+

Just looked at the Entries for the Moscow FIVB, Hughes-Carico are still on the list, but also signed up for MB. Schumacher-Ross are still signed up, they are NOT signed up for MB.
On the Men's side Montgomery-Drost are signed up for Both the FIVB & MB.

Moscow qualifier is Wednesday. Maybe they can make it back for Manhattan on Friday if they lose in the quali Wednesday.

This could be his farewell, although it is possible he might dabble in a few more before it's all said and done...

On the Men's side Montgomery-Drost are signed up for Both the FIVB & MB. The brackets are up for the FIVB Qualifier. Out of the 3 American teams, I'd guess only Schumacher-Ross have a real shot at making the Main draw based on matchups. So I guess the other 2 can make MB.

That one of Stoklos in 78 is cool. 80's picks are so classic and 90's are great. 21st.....not so much. Thanks for sharing.

What a fantastic journey and a big fat wake up call to all. Everyone of those legendary pics when the game was huge was all about ALL MALE beach volleyball, no vollie dollies at all to make mush of the game and tear down the image of our male volleyball gods.. Strike now AL-B and get those woman off the torur and stop paying them equal to the men

The Qualifier bracket is up, they are taking 24 auto into the Main and 8 from the Q. the Qualifier bracket (Mens) is JACKED UP!! there are some easier and some really tough sections, seeding(they have to use) is not how someone looking at the teams would seed. should be fun. bvbinfo.com/Tournament.asp?ID=2843 Nothing jumps out at me in the women's. Some teams only have to play 1 match to get into the Main draw.

Rally scoring rule everything you do out there should be equated to a point.. old scoring crap mistakes went unpunished no point agsint it. TheVolleyballGod VBG
