"Shreveport-Bossier Sports Commission is serving as the local organizer and host for the Olympic qualification event, and has considerable community backing to put on this international event."

Really piss-poor info from USA Volleyball.
Here's what's going on:
This is just pool play (Pool C) in the bigger FIVB Olympic Qualification Tournament. There are other pools (A-F) who will play in their own respective venues. The pool winners automatically qualify for the Olympics. It's odd that they call it "pool" play even though there won't be any more battles among the pool top finishers. The pool winners simply qualify for the 2020 Olympics.
After this, there will be continental qualifiers, so if you don't automatically qualify from this international qualification tournament, you can qualify by doing well in your continent's qualification tournament.

If the competition is USA, Argentina, Bulgaria, and Kazakhstan, I'd say the USA's chances are pretty good that they'll make it to 2020 Tokyo.

Clicked on the thread, saw the name of the city, assumed it was foreign.

The pool C venue was always going to be in the USA.

Not exactly the first place you think of for the qualifier, to put it mildly...
