    Hi all,



    I am having a hard time finding information sources about the V-League, other than in the Japanese language. I am interested in covering Miroslav Gradinarov's participation for BGvolleyball.com and I would appreciate some help. If someone could point me to any sites in English where I can follow what is going on in the league, I would greatly appreciate it. Or, if someone more familiar with the Japanese language could send me or post here things like schedule, results, standings and possibly match reports (stats), that would also be great. Thanks.



    Niki

    The main site you'll find in English on the V-League is probably here. I'll be posting results and standings and will try to put his info on a match to match basis. They start this weekend. The stats are not in English on their official site.

    Hey, Brahmin, this is great!!! Thank you very much. I really appreciate this. I would be more than happy to give you credit as a BGvolleyball.com correspondent for this information. If you are interested, drop me an email at office@bgvolleyball.com. I would kindly ask you to post a more detailed result of the Tokyo match, i.e. including the set points. And if you could link me to a photo source, that would be perfect! I really, really appreciate it! When is the next match of Tokyo?
