The 2012 CEV Champions League

not only you

Neslihan is 1st in scorer & spiker rankings, 3rd in server ranking, im really sorry for her if cant reach F4 because of Cannes will face Ecv

Quote from Mary

If Azerrail is a host of F4 why they will play in play offs ?

I wrote it before, just read competitions regulations (especially clause 1.6)

better yet, let me paste it.

1.6 ALTERNATIVE COMPETITION METHOD IN CASE OF ‘NEUTRAL’ FINAL
FOUR ORGANIZER
• The organizer is a National Federation without any team participating in the
competition.
• The organizer is a National Federation with at least one participating team.
This National Federation accepts that independently from the results of its
team(s), they will organize the Final Four Tournament.
In these cases the competition format must be modified as follows:
• The organizer is determined at the latest before the Drawing of Lots for the
League Round (June / July);
• A new competition format will be announced at the latest at the Drawing of
Lots.
• Men’s competition:
-After the League Round, the 1st – 2nd ranked as well as the four 3rd
ranked teams with the best score qualify to the Eight-Final;
-The remaining 3rd ranked teams and the two 4th ranked teams with
the best score from the League Round move to CEV Volleyball Cup
Challenge Round and the remaining 4th ranked teams are
eliminated.
• Women’s competition:
-If 20 teams have registered for the League Round: After the
League Round, the 1st – 3rd ranked of the Pools as well as the 4th
ranked with the best score qualify to the Eight-Final. The remaining
4th ranked teams from the League Round move to the CEV
Volleyball Cup Challenge Round;
-If 16 teams have registered for the League Round: The 1/8 Finals
are skipped, the 1st - 2nd ranked teams of the Pools qualify to the
Quarter-Finals (8 teams). The 3rd ranked teams will move to the
CEV Volleyball Cup Challenge Round and the 4th ranked teams are
eliminated.
• A Drawing of Lots is performed for the Eight-Finals respectively Quarter
Finals;
• The winners of the Eight-Finals (Home & Away Matches) qualify to the
Quarter-Finals;
• The winners of the Quarter-Final Matches qualify to the Semi-Final Matches;
• In case that 2 [TWO] teams from the same country qualify to the semi-final
matches, they will have to play each other. A Drawing of Lots will be
performed to fix the ‘Home’ and ‘Away’ status of the teams.

thank you

Muszyna's coach Bogdan Serwinski about DOL:
"We know our rivals very good. I want to remind that a couple years ago we eliminated them in play-offs. Group phase it's a history. Now it's the new challenge in CL. Despite class of our rivals I dont want to complain. Nowadays there are a lot of strong teams in Europe. Some of them plays on a higher level than many national teams."

It's an interesting coincidence that in the season that Muszyna beat Cannes in Playoffs 12, Eczacibasi played against and eliminated the Polish team in the Playoffs 6 to qualify to the Final 4. We'll see if the history will repeat itself.

oh yes, indeed and Eczacibasi faced with Vakifbank too in first phase of playoffs...but ok it was almost 4 years ago now the teams are different

Very bad draw by CEV 2 BEST teams (Fenerbahce and Rabita) gotta play against each other in quarters....just horibille!!!!! But I'm positive they can win,goooooo Rabita, goooooooooo Azerrail!!!!

* all time are local times; s: CEV

i think cev must expand champions league participant teams. The system of Men's CL will be suitable for the Womens',as well. It is ridiculous that even the 4th position Prostejov will play for the next stage.
In addition,unfortunately the strongest teams, Eczacibasi (2th) and Vakifbank (1th) will encounter in 1/8 playoffs. It was not rule that 1st match 3rd? NOT 1st vs. 2nd !!!!

Game Intro Atom Trefl Sopot - Rabita Baku

No way out Rabita

Game Intro Dresdner SC - Dinamo Kazan

According to Laola1.tv CEV chooses Polina RAHİMOVA as the neü discovery and Best Scorer of the Champions league by sets average) !!! The video says everything!

Congrats to young star!!! Here`s the video!!!

Some questions: Was it expected to be the Best Scorer of the Best European Competiton?

I think it is time to show my abilities and I was waiting for this time! I am very honored!

Sometimes seem Logan Tom and other players from Fenerbahce take the match as a joke. I've never seen Logan laugh in U.S.A. team as she does at Fenerbahce.

Prostejov 1 - Fenerbahce 0 (25-23)

I am sure they don't take it as a joke. The club is very clear on their goals this season.

Logan just likes being in Fenerbahce, I think.

Fenerbahce played like crap. Can they have a better libero, please??!!

I think Nihan will start playing as libero now

Fenerbahce's passing problems are contagious

Match tied 1-1
