2011 X Pan American Women's Cup 29.06-10.07

Brasil team:

S: Dani Lins, Fabíola
Opp: Sheilla, Ju Nogueira
OH: Mari, Paula Pequeno, Fernanda Garay, Suelle
MB: Fabiana, Thaisa, Juciely
L: Fabi

(PS.: Joycinha, Sassá, Adenisia and Camila Brait will play Yeltsin Cup together with younger players)

Natália is recovering from a surgery and will come back for the WGP.

What is the importance of that tournament? Any qualification for international tournaments?

Quote from Bartek

It is qualification Tournament to the 2012 World Grand Prix.
4 Teams from Norceca and 3 from CSV.
But FIVB will change something as always after that Tour.

Brasil got the wild card for WGP 2011 last year, the same as poland...
fivb only authorized 4 norceca vacancies and 2 south american vancancies from copa panamericana...

Exacly...

Last year Brasil set the Junior team to play Panamerican Games, and ended really bad the Panamerican Cup, not getting the vancacy to WGP, we wont it with Wild Card.

Zé Roberto and Ary Graça, Brasilian Federation president were really criticized cause of that.

Cause here we dont have important tournaments such as European Championships, so playing World Grand Prix, some years is the only main important tournament we have..:S

So I guess this year they decided to send first team cause of that..to garantee GP spot.

12 teams in 2 pools for preliminary round...

Pool A: Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Rep., Argentina, Canada, Chile

Pool B: Brasil, USA, Peru, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Trinidad & Tobago

Yes, she asked today to be dismissed from NT to Pan American Cup.

Zé wont add anyone to the group that will travel. We will have only 3 OH (Paula, Fernanda Garay and Suelle)

and which time zone is specified in the match schedule? sorry for my 2nd time..

Quote from LindaNati

Hi, Joanna and which time zone is specified in the match schedule?

If Im not wrong, usually its 3 horas from Mexico to Brasil (-6h GMT), but its summer time there, so its 2 hours behind Brasil.

So Its 7 hours behind CET.

Thank you! well I'll watch only the final
