World Volleyball eXpo (WVE X) Everything Thread
Posted: Mon Sep 21, 2020 4:07 pm
Alright everyone, this is your everything thread for the World Volleyball Expo X in Taeshan. As of today we have 30 signups. Below is the current state of the pots for the Expo. The top pot is open to the top 8 from last tournament, pot 2 to playoff qualifiers, Pot 3 is teams that did not advance out of the Group Stage last tournament and pot 4 is new teams. This tournament is not ranked, these pots were just used as a way to put teams on group based on realistic past performance. The Draw will be Wednesday Evening September 23rd, sometime after 6: 30 Eastern Us. Provided we can get 2 more teams there will be 32 teams in this tournament. Since not all teams from each eligible group will be entered from last tournament the top performing teams from lower pots (pots after Pot 1 are listed in performance order) can move up into the higher pots, with any movement among unranked teams moving to pot 3 decided by blind draw at the draw on wednesday. My intention would be to run the tournament starting Sunday Night, depending on schedule.
