  • Is Aleksiev playing in the starting six?

    No, Toshko Aleksiev and Metodi Ananiev haven't played for Levski yet. They didn't play today also. Salparov was in starting six for CSKA and he was great. :)

  • Aleksiev and Ananiev have to wait for the transfer window to open after the first half of the season is over, after Feb. 2nd.


    BTW, they just announced an interesting innovation to the Superliga this year. As far as I understand, after the first half of the season is over, there will be a five-day tournament in Universiada hall in Sofia. The six teams of the Superliga will play a single round-robin and the results will count towards their championship records.

  • Finally some victory of Cherno more... :whistle: how many rounds is til the end of regular season? and one more question, how teams from second 7 are going? who is leading?

    The teams already played 10 matches. Between the other 10 there is a tournament in Sofia, which starts at saturday (I'll be there ;) ) where the six teams - Levski, CSKA, Lukoil, Pirin, Marek and Cherno More will play 5 more matches. The results will be considered for the standings. So b efore play-offs the teams will have played 25 matches. The first two teams for the 7 which are playing in the lower league will also qualify for the play-offs. The play-off system - I don't know it, maybe Nick will explain. About the leader - hm.... Levski, Lukoil and Marek are with 6 victories and 4 losses, but Marek is on 1st place I think in this moment due to better statistics.

  • I'm not sure if there will be more matches after this 5 for each team from Saturday to Wednesday. After this are the play-offs, most probably.

  • The Superliga championship this year is a quintuple Round Robin (two home matches, two away matches plus the Ataro Klima Cup which started today and will take 5 days to complete). This tournament is being played in the middle of the Regular Season. The top teams from the lower NVL division will join these 6 for the playoffs. The info on the lower division is hard to find, but I think in the middle of the season Kazanluk KAZANLUK, Arda KURDJALI and Dunav RUSE top the table.

  • BTW, Todor Aleksiev played for Levski today and scored 17 points.

  • Yeah, the three matches were very interesting. The champions from Lukoil Neftohimik crushed Levski Siconco with Todor Aleksiev with 3:2 in a thrilling encounter. Nikolai Nikolov was named MVP. CSKA won with Marek 3:1. In the last match Cherno More showed impressive volleyball and won against Pirin Balkanstroi - 3:0. The team from Varna played without its captain Miroslav Gradinarov who was punished not to play. But Cherno More had Vladi Aleksandrov who was amasing, leading his team to straight victory 3:0. Aleksandrov was named MVP of the match.
    I was on this matches with the user "volley-mania". She made some pictures of Vladi Aleksandrov and Cherno More specially for Ann. ;) I hopr they'll be posted soon.
