I was wondering if anyone was going to complain.

Yes. FIVB still has to maintain that contract. I will bet one host is European (just cause of the costs) China would probably be the other... cause money. Ugh. You're probably correct. Might need to read more, but doesn't it say top three ranked teams host? So how can they predetermine who is hosting the pools (japan/european?)

Well USA is number 1 right now though not by much. USA - 379 BRA - 366 CHN - 350 Who ever ends this season in the top three spots should be the 3 hosts. Teams have to earn it.

But like who is going to be going to Paris from VT for the games? I feel like we also need to discuss that qualification process as well.

(unless there's an article that I missed) FIVB is accepting bids to host until the end of April. (and I'm pretty sure they're contractually obliged to host the "world cup" in japan) www.fivb.com/en/about/news/olympic-qualification-systems-for-volleyball-and-beach?id=96844

I would love for teams to earn the ability to host. Would be great opportunity to increase exposure and grow the game; but I also do not think playing in Shreveport helps grow the game -.-

USAV doesn’t capture home crowd advantage like Turkey would for example. I hope they have interest in hosting…. But given the cost I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t

I got curious... lets see how Europe has faced vs the top dogs at the Olympics since USA became relevant. Brazil 2008: W Russia, W Serbia, W Italy 2012: W Serbia, W Turkey, W Russia 2016: W Russia 2021: W Serbia, W Russia USA 2008: W Poland, W Italy 2012: W Serbia, W Turkey 2016: W Netherlands, W Serbia, W Italy, L Serbia, W Netherlands 2021: W Turkey, L Russia, W Italy, W Serbia China 2008: W Poland, W Russia 2012: W Serbia, W Turkey 2016: L Netherlands, W Italy, L Serbia, W Netherlands, W Serbia 2021: L Russia, L Turkey, W Italy With 2021 China being the outlier... seems like a lot of irrelevance to me. more NA/Asia spots please.

October 17 is 3 and a half months away; which events are left? There's the VNL finals, world championship ( avid 2.0 is there a thread for that? couldn't find it) and the challenger cup. Any continental events left? There's AVC cup/championships in august but idk about NORCECA/CEV events.

There's AVC cup/championships in august but idk about NORCECA/CEV events. france is playing challenger cup, which is "lose once and you're out" so they can't lose more than 5 ranking points, so they can't drop much in ranking.
Therefore, the OQT's will go all the way down to rank 26 (remove #8 russia and #22 france)
Will it be serpentine or draw?

I believe hosts get seeded #1-3, then they draw in groups of 3 for 4-6, 7-9,
