Reserve teams meaning they have to qualify through country quota?

Do you know how they determine seed, MD, qualifier teams, country quote teams, etc, or is their a page I can look for that. Like I believe in tennis they go back a player previous 52 weeks, with some exceptions of different tournaments or majors or Grand Slams or whatever.

Did the Women's Gold Metalists drop out or were they never entered?

Never entered. A lot of the top teams haven't been playing US FIVB events.

Kessy/Fopma are no longer listed in the Q, but both Vanzwieten/Dicello and Larsen/Flint are now in the Q.

What happened to Casebeer and Rosie? Can't imagine at all Burick/SLick have more points.

I'm kind of expecting Phil/Nick and Kerri/April to come out flat this tournament.
Can't be motivated too much after Rio.
The only thing for Phil and Nick is they can pass Samoilovs/Smedins in world rankings this year i.e "team of the year". (not sure if they get a bonus for that)

I think Kerri and April will be motivated to play well this tourney. Just because they hate to lose and did not win Gold.

how is it we are the only country that can't do live scoring on the FIVB?  Larissa/Talita v Flint/Larsen USA takes 1st set 21-19! |

Are there any live streams during the week?
Looks like a periscope user, richyusa, is streaming some matches. He has Kerri/April on right now.
