So it isn't published on the FIVB website through links yet, but using deductive reasoning I was able to access the entry pages. They should have been published a few days ago because we are less than 21 days from the start of the event (when entry lists are normally published).
If they are correct, it appears that Carico/Hochevar and Fopma/Pavlik BOTH have wildcards into the main draw and Hughes/Engle are in the qualifier. If that is true, the US has SIX teams entered on the women's side and five in the the main draw automatically.
Hyden/Bourne and Lucena/Doherty both have wildcards on the men's side into the main draw (although I think only Lucena/Doherty's is really necessary since Hyden/Bourne would have been in with enough points anyway).
Although, maybe the double wildcard was necessary, because it is showing Rogers/Brunner and Montgomery/Slick in the qualifier. So six entries on the men's side as well (and four in the main draw automatically). If that holds, that is pretty incredible that the FIVB and it's normal country quota imposing self is allowing six entries in both genders to one country.
