I don't know how many matches will be broadcasted, but it will definitely be for the whole season. The article says it will start with the season opening matches in October. We will probably know more when the deal is fixed.

So the only question before the start of the playoffs will be: which is the only team (apart from VCO Berlin) that does not qualify for playoffs?

The way i see it, there will still only be 8 teams in the playoffs, because two teams of the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th ranked will be out of the playoff ranks due to losses. Otherwise it would make no sense to play these pre-playoffs.
But what must be very annoying is when, let´s say, the 9th and 10th ranked teams win and take the playoff spots of the 7th and 8th ranked team.
And more annoying if the 9th and 10th ranked teams ain´t got no chance to reach the playoff ranks in terms of figures in the first place. -

Not sure if I like this system, I prefer the regular way with just 8 teams...

Ok, first i thought, that you thought 10 teams would make it to the playoffs. My bad. I agree with you, i´m not too sure either, if i like this system. I prefer the regular way, too.

The introduction of the pre-playoffs is a concession to the more and more shrinking season length. In the past the interational federations and their schedule significantly reduced the time, the players stay in their clubs. This - and the fact that the players cannot be given reduced salaries - more and more endangers the economic fundamentals of the clubs.
So all clubs agreed that it would be necessary to extend the season, because the regular round will be finished on March 9th. The pre-playoffs were considered to be fairly the best way to do it. (Also it will allow a short break for the top 6 clubs that are supposed to have a more dense shedule because taking part in CEV competition.) -

Montenegro NT OH Ksenija Ivanovic renewed her contract in Wiesbaden, so they already have their roster for next season complete:
S: Martina Viestova (SVK), Meredith Schamun (USA)
Opp: Heather Meyers (USA)
OH: Regina Burchardt, Ksenija Ivanovic (MNE), Steffi Lehmann, Anna Hoja
MB: Micheli Tomazela (BRA), Julia Osterloh, Barbara Wezorke, Rebecca Schäperklaus
L: Erika Carvalho de Souza (BRA)Decent team, but I don't think they'll be able to compete for top 4.
As far as i know, Rebecca Schäperklaus will be / wants to be playin´ as Opp.

Yeah she probably wants to (that's why she left Münster last year), but in the article about her was written that Wiesbaden is planning with her as MB.

Dutch MB Deborah Van Daelen (she will probably play as Opp)
Deborah is an original MB...she also played already as OH in Dutch League and French League...and now she will play as Opp??? Great
It's a little like Judith Pietersen's story..(also an original MB..now playing as Opp).
By the way: I was wrong..because I expected Deborah to transfer to Hamburg...

Stuttgart's coach Jan Lindenmair says she proved great potential as Opp in her French club, so he wants to use her that way as well.
