ST CROIX, Virgin Islands, May 27, 2012 - Tournament "MVP" Danielle Selkridge led all scorers with 16 points as host US Virgin Islands defeated Curacao 25-23, 25-15, 19-25, 25-17 in the final of the 2014 FIVB World Championship Qualification First Round Women's Pool C series at the Ronald "Ranche" Charles" Basketball Arena on Sunday night.
Team captain, Sacha Gumbs contributed 15 points while Janelle Sarauw got 13 for the USVI. For Curacao, captain, Christine Anthony once again led from the front with 15 points, however no other player on her team scored in double-figures.
The trio of USVI, Curacao and third place finisher Haiti now advances to the Second Round of qualification while Martinique ended in fourth spot.
Commenting on the win,Gumbs said both teams played well but today her team was very determined to get the gold medal in front of their fans.
Gumbs also credited Curacao's Anthony for leading her team's fight back with her all round play.
Lucille Hobson, USVI's coach while happy for the win once again felt her team did not play well enough.
"I still don't think the real USVI showed up in the final. We made too many errors which allowed Curacao to stay in the match. But overall I'm happy for the win, a victory is a victory,” added Hobson.
Reflecting on her team's second place finish Curacao captain, Anthony said she was disappointed.
" I am not satisfied that we finished second. We did not have the determination and we made too many errors and was not consistent enough during the key moments.
Curacao's coach, Henry Delfina echoed the views of his team captain stating: "We made too many errors and gave away too many easy points."

Any news about the European qualification and drawing of lots?
I know that this time FIVB doesn't organize the qualification and CEV is in charge of it. The groups' composition should be known already...It's December and still no news about it
Does it mean that matches will be played in summer 2014?

News from CEV: http://www.cev.lu/News.aspx?NewsID=14194&ID=5
- A third round scheduled for January 3-5, 2014 to be joined by 20 teams, with 12 entering the competition by this stage due to their position in the European Rankingas of January 1, 2013. A total of 5 single round robin tournaments with 4 teams each per gender will be played; in the men’s division a ticket to the final round of the World Championships will be booked by the first ranked teams of each Pool plus the second ranked with the best score, while in the women’s competition the winners of the various tournaments will be joined by the two second ranked teams with the best score.
It means that set ratio will decide
It's a strange procedure because the matter of WC qualification is too important to be determined in that way
Except that the matches will be played in January so there is a need to suspend the leagues matches. I predict there will be a fight between the POL NT coach and the clubs coaches once again. Bogdan Serwiński from Muszyna won't be satisfied with the rules.
Moreover the gold and silver medalists from European Championships will advance. It's a quite reasonable decision.

A first round scheduled for May 23-26, 2013 to be joined by 28 (men) and 29 (women) teams subdivided into 7 Pools whose composition was determined by taking into consideration – as far as possible – the geographical location of the various countries. Such tournaments will be played as single round robin with the first ranked teams eventually advancing to the third round while the second ranked sides from Pool A to F will make it to the second stage of the qualification process. The teams entering the competition via the first round were determined following the European Ranking for senior national teams as of January 1, 2013.
First round:
Pool A: Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro (org.), F.Y.R. of Macedonia
Pool B: Israel, Belarus (org.), Finland, Denmark
Pool C: Belgium (org.), Portugal, Switzerland, Northern Ireland
Pool D: Ukraine (org.), Hungary, Albania, Moldova
Pool E: Slovakia (org.), Greece, Austria, Liechtenstein
Pool F: Estonia, Iceland, Latvia (org.), Lithuania
Pool G: Luxembourg, Cyprus, San Marino, Malta (org.), Scotland
A second round scheduled for October 2-6, 2013 with a single round robin tournament per gender starring the six second-ranked teams stemming from the first round Pools A to F. The first, second and/or third ranked teams will advance to the third round depending on the number of spots to be filled in there.

Asian qualifying tournament:
"A total of 16 teams will participate in the Women’s Qualification Tournament.
India and Uzbekistan in the pool of Central Zone, Hong Kong, PR Korea and Chinese Taipei are in the Eastern Zone Pool and Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines and Vietnam in Southeastern Zone Pool, with top squad of each pool qualifying for the final tournament where they will join Japan, China, Korea, Thailand, Kazakhstan, Australia, and New Zealand in two pools. The top two of each pool will clinch the tickets to the Women’s World Championship in Italy.
The Qualification Tournament will start from June and finish in September of 2013."
"30 AVC National Federations (28 men’s and 16 women’s teams) are to take part in the qualification process for the 2014 World Championships, a record number for the continent. This is a significant increase in the level of participation from the 2010 edition when only 20 men’s and 11 women’s teams took part in the qualifications."

2014 Championships system
i don't understand why FIVB added 3rd round...I think, that probably better will be quarterfinals like a at Olympic Games
So, this is FIVB, and this is championships in Italy
