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. 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. Damn. Hopefully you can get things sorted out.

That’s quite the assumption from a podcast in January. It is now April, a lot has happened since then. 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. You need to understand it’s not as simple as “I have lots of points, so people want to play with me.” These top players/teams have sponsorships, commitments, and USAV stipends for themselves and their respective coaches. Can they play tournaments with other people? Sure. But there are implications and sometimes consequences for doing so, so many athletes take the more conservative route when it comes to playing tournaments with players who are not their partner.

#1 Brunner/Crabb v #4 Bourne/Schalk advanced to semifinal.
#3 Crabb/Sander v #2 Budinger/Evans advanced to semifinal.
#1 Brunner/Crabb v #2 Budinger/Evans advance to final.
Pretty straightforward when it comes to their ranks.

Watched the stream on Taylor’s twitch. It was pretty close, 10-10 in the third. Wind looks rough. Hopefully they stream the finals too

Chaim and Tri get embarrassed by the partners they dumped.
