I hadn't realized that in addition to Sarah Pavan's constant qualification failures that Brandi actually played, and lost in, two qualifiers last year and only became a main draw player through partner points.
Chaim also lost in a qualifier last year.
Is there some particular technique to doing well in qualifiers? Are our Canadian pals just overconfident?

Because of the exchange rate, they only get about 8 points for every 10 they score.

Those teams do/did practice solely with the FIVB ball, maybe making the change for the 1st time has its effects? the only other thing I can think of is number of matches?? but they should be able to handle that. BTW, Knudsen should be on peoples list higher in points than her. |

Pavan has also oddly struggled with the freeze rule.
This year losing 20-22 in the second after being up several. Last year she was up 14-10 in the 3rd at Manhattan Beach and 14-11 at Huntington Beach and lost both times.

Did they get a wildcard for Seattle?
Doesn’t make sense that they’ll skip a 4* event in Czech Republic to play in the qualifiers of the AVP.
