You get no points for tournament results. Just plusses and minuses for individual match results. Really?? That seems...unwise. But maybe I'm just used to tennis rankings oof. But also to be fair tennis doesn't put any weight into *who* you beat in individual matches when they dole out points for tournaments, it's just however much value the tournament is given. Yeah this is more ... equitable (?) with high ranked teams such as China, italy, and Serbia sending B teams, if they lose to lesser ranked teams then they'd lose a lot of points. So the rankings may fluctuate more. |

Tournament results were fine for ranking the top 8 or so. This does a better job of ranking that next tier. How do Germany, Netherlands, etc compare to Argentina and Kenya? The old system would award points to ARG and KEN just for being in the event. But if you’re using world rankings for things like World Championships qualification, having a better way to compare the teams in the 15-25 range is important. And I believe this is much better at THAT. (For what it’s worth, this is basically what FIFA uses for soccer) |

In any case, Serbia and Italy seems mighty confident that sitting out the VNL for their top players will benefit them at Tokyo. That's a rather big gamble, one that has not worked for other teams trying that strategy in the past. What makes them so sure it will work this time? What's the difference here, if any?

How many medals has Italy won at the Olympics again? And didn't Serbia just earn their first ? |

Unless they have some secret ingredients that gives them really good confidence of getting on the podium at Tokyo, this is pretty questionable as strategies go. |
