Looks like Crabb and Gibb dropped out. Again. Yep. We found out last week. They dropped 3 consecutive international events. |

I think the FIVB should change the way they do the standing. How is it fair to teams that are actively traveling and competing in all the recent tournaments when there are teams who are afraid to lose their points from earlier better finishes?

How is it fair to teams that are actively traveling and competing in all the recent tournaments when there are teams who are afraid to lose their points from earlier better finishes? *cough cough* the team who dropped three Jinjiang, Ostrava, AND Warsaw. They’ll be in MD for Gstaad most likely. |

Also, as big of a competitor Taylor Crabb is, I am shocked that he is ok with sitting these out. But I guess if FIVB allows players to game the system, then why not rest the body and prepare better for the upcoming tournaments. Mol and Sorum should just rest also then. |

They are skipping events on purpose to save their good finishes? Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Makes me not want to root for them. |

That’s what I’m speculating after I saw them dropping Ostrava and Warsaw last week. But they will not pass Mol/Sorum. Their good finishes (Gstaad and Vienna) expire after 365 days. |

The FIVB continues to astound in the stupidity of its ranking system. A team that has one top 4 finish - a 4th - in 15 events is now ranked 6th. Hard to blame Jake/Taylor they should be able to ride that seed to a 5th or two. |

Hard to blame Jake/Taylor they should be able to ride that seed to a 5th or two. If they think they can just show up to a 5 Star and finish 5th after not playing FIVB for three months they are delusional. They barely finished 5th in a 3 Star earlier this year and then followed that up with a 9th in a 4 Star. They’ll be lucky to win their pool in a 5 Star even as a 6 seed. There are just too many other good teams right now. They may think they are gaming the system, but IMHO they are only hurting their chances of qualifying for the Olympics. |
