If Andy/Miles would've entered this tournament then the Taylor's vs Cri would've been the 4 vs 5 QF. The women's draw is interesting. Let's see if Murphy/Quiggle and Hildreth/Van Gunst have enough chemistry to take out the random teams. Hopefully someone streams it. I guess Cook hasn't been cleared to rep USA yet.

These teams on the women’s side are so random Cannon must be injured or something. She was supposed to be playing with Betsi while MKraft was finishing school and Scoles was rehabbing her knees. We all thought they weren’t playing because Betsi broke her toe, but maybe not. Also, no Harward or Simo?

Cannon is not injured. Her and Meg Kraft won this event last year so it holds no value for either one of them. Harward and Simo are in the Dominican playing the Santo Domingo Norceca. Stop making assumptions without any knowledge of the situation. They all still love volleyball.

“Actually a break for Mudinger to face the Taylors in the semis if seeds hold, and not a break for Treo to face Cri in the semis.”
Actually maybe not a break for Mudinger given that in the times they faced the Taylors last year they were 1-2 against them and all games went to 3. Against Cri, I believe they haven’t lost one yet! But I’m assuming the Taylors will be in poor form whereas Mudinger have been playing some good vball. Also, Cri will need to beat Smith/Webber to whom they lost to once last year.

Harward (Raising Canes)/Deberg and Savvage & Abz are in the Dominican Republic playing in the Norceca, starts today!!

yesterday the courts were hard packed dirt but looks like they're breaking it up to not play on clay lol

Interesting weather forecast with two conflicting forces. - Rain: 50% for 6am, 44% for 7am, dropping below 30% by 9am start time.
- Wind: under 10mph until just past noon, then 19mph by 1pm Finals If the event goes as planned, from 9am to 1:45pm, all should be good. wind my primary concern seems to be tame until the event is over.
Premium on ball control in wind in that final. Assuming seeds hold, who has better ball control ... Treo or Mudinger. I think advantage goes to Trevor with the other three about the same.

Stop making assumptions without any knowledge of the situation. They all still love volleyball. My assumption came directly from Betsi Flint herself, who said on the January 24th episode of the Sandcast that she would playing with Terese Cannon while Megan Kraft was in school and Julia Scoles was rehabbing from knee surgery. So if you have more recent knowledge of the situation, please enlighten us!

I believe they planned to play Tepic together, but for various reasons it did not work out.

I believe they planned to play Tepic together, but for various reasons it did not work out. Such is the state of BVB coverage in 2024. A lot may have happened since then, but you wouldn't know it by trying to follow the sport. VBM seems to have little interest in reporting on the pro beach game in any depth, and most of the players can't seem to be bothered to promote the sport or keep fans informed either. And then they wonder why the game isn't growing. Terese Cannon is a top 5 USA blocker with plenty of international entry points. But by the time she plays her first FIVB event of 2024 she will have already missed 6 of the 18 Challenger and Elite16 events. That's one-third of the season! So forgive me for wondering what's going on, but I'm at least glad to hear that she's not injured.

View Attachment View Attachment FIVB changed rules in September last year to be that if you have played for your senior national team of first federation you can not change. Currently working with a lawyer to confirm that I started the process before this new rule came into place.
