I really don't get why USAV at least doesn't communicate with trying to get specific teams in. There is no way the qualifying teams are even going to win a game I wouldn't think. Roberts and DelSol trying to split block at even that level is terrible and has Partain and Wienckowski even played a NORCECA qualifier?
These are the kinds of tournaments guys like Trevor Crabb, Zaun, or Frishman/Drost or at least the McKibbons should be playing.

I think this is spot on, the only thing I would add is that if USAV isnt paying for these teams to go then no harm since the others that should be going, likely didnt want to (I agree USAV should be encouraging them) However if USAV is spending money on this then that is a big issue |

Based on this info, betting USA VB is not paying for qualification matches as Roberts deep pockets are well known on tour.

That's a ton of out-of-pocket cash on travel to AUS only to lose, likely everyone passed tho there should be some USA team more capable than Miles & Billy up for this.

Based on this info, betting USA VB is not paying for qualification matches as Roberts deep pockets are well known on tour. Adam's financial standing shouldn't be taken into consideration. If USAV's standard is to cover the costs of top 4 teams going, then they should do that. I would bet money on the kids who are also in the Q aren't paying either. |

I'm speculating, but I would assume it would be very tough for Del Sol to afford something like that without help from outside sources. If he's getting that help from Roberts, why wouldn't Roberts just pay to have a blocker go with him?

That's hella long way to go to be pretty much guaranteed one and done. Del Sol is used to this sorta arrangement playing with Mesko from all accounts, makes most sense, only solid player who was interested in travelling that freaking far. |

Del Sol/Roberts and Pertain/Wienckowski both win their first qualification match, lose the second. Miles and Bill left from the USA in the main draw.
