For Doha, look at the MD rankings of teams 9-15, not sure seed means as much right now. Just some luck! 9 ITA Nicolai/Lupo 10 BRA Pedro Solberg/Vitor Felipe 11 BRA Evandro/Bruno Schmidt 12 NOR Mol, H./Sørum, C. 13 GER Thole, J./Wickler 14 BRA Guto/Saymon 15 BRA Alison/Andre worldtour.2019.fivb.com/en/mdoh2019/men/teamsinfo/maindraw

I think Qatar has a decent chance to be Seed 1 of its 8th or above before the final seeding prior to start of MD.

I think you get #1 if you are a top 4 seed only. The Qatar team hasn't played a tournament this calendar year, their last was Vegas. Best ranked host country team (as per its seeding points) will receive Seed #1 (Pool A) if the team is ranked with the first eight (8) teams. Otherwise, the best ranked host country team will receive Seed #8 (Pool H). The remaining host country teams will be seeded naturally as per their Seeding Points. Host country teams shall never be placed in the same pool. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th and any other eventual host country team(s) will have their seed increased (for example from Seed #15 to Seed #16) until they are in a different pool then the other host country teams. Should increasing the seed not work (or not be possible) then the seed is reduced (for example from Seed #32 to Seed 31) until the host country team is in a different pool.

Anyone has any sites to watch the matches? (Asking ahead of the tournament)

It looks like Budinger/Patterson (5 seed), if they win their 1st Q match, get Rossi/Adrian (12 seed) in the 2nd round.

Chase/Casey is now 4th and Adri/Rossi is 11th. Will they still play each other?
