Interesting idea with this new stadium. If it works as planned, perhaps they can hold traditional FIVB events there too.

funny that the Dutch federation declined to host the European Championship in September - and now King of the Court. Good enough.

As of now the European Union would not allow USA athletes. Travel restriction.

Any difference in the restrictions for players with a pro contract being allowed in to join their club versus someone just going for a single event? Or is the travel ban a blanket one with no exceptions? Please post if you KNOW, not what you think. Thank you.

Yep, up to now some countries have been allowing travel and others haven't. That will likely not change since some countries are desperate for money that comes with tourism and travel

Very curious who would have signed up for one star points in Slovenia. That’s a $6000 trip for 100 points and all your decent players will be playing the AVP Champions Cup that weekend.

Okay, I found it. Here are all the exemptions to the EU travel ban. I'm not sure professional athletes, or anyone who has a job based in Europe, meets the exemptions, except in section xi.
"Specific categories of travellers with an essential function or need: i. Healthcare professionals, health researchers, and elderly care professionals; ii. Frontier workers; iii. Seasonal workers in agriculture; iv. Transport personnel; v. Diplomats, staff of international organisations and people invited by international organisations whose physical presence is required for the well-functioning of these organisations, military personnel and humanitarian aid workers and civil protection personnel in the exercise of their functions; vi. Passengers in transit; vii. Passengers travelling for imperative family reasons; viii. Seafarers ix. Persons in need of international protection or for other humanitarian reasons x. Third-country nationals travelling for the purpose of study; xi. Highly qualified third-country workers if their employment is necessary from an economic perspective and the work cannot be postponed or performed abroad."
This is the official language of the EU resolution.

Is this the timed competition where there are like 5 teams on the court at once? Pass for me. That stuff just not my jam.
