did we already have this? I have no idea but FIVB released this today link wait I don’t get it. It’s only 3 weeks long ? yes to lessen travel and stuff (probably also cost) it's three weeks with three hosts and bigger pools for each week

I am seriously considering going to Calgary for week 3. Not to mention Banff and Canmore should be stunning around that time.

just skimming through the schedule of who's playing who, for the most part, it seems really balanced. Canada not having to play Brazil, Japan, or Italy definitely helps them.
is the finals schedule going to be tweaked? I feel like I read somewhere it's going to be changed into the more-normal quarterfinal format with 1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4v5.

Are all the teams in one big pool even though not everyone plays each other in the prelims? That is how the WGP used to be.
