Why did Iran not send its A team ?
Because Iran fight for the 2013 World League in Cairo where are one of the best courts in the World as You see on the photos in thread World League Qualif.

Thank you very much for the information Bartek. I forgot that they participate for the WL qualification. Hopefully they achieve it.
And the court is really the best I have seen so far.
Why did Iran not send its A team ?
as Bartek said, because of WL Qualifiers.
I think Iran could form a better team from other players. to me this is C or D team.
but oh wait ! looks like I completely underestimate these players , they beat China 3-2 ! 
quite surprising
This is Iran's squad
Mohammad Taher Vadi
Meisam Faridi
Mohammad Reza Hosseini-Pouya
Alireza Mobasheri
Mojtaba Gholizad
Ali Sajjadi
Mohammad Reza Soleimani
Soheil Ahmadi
Alireza Jadidi
Hassan Senobari
Peiman Karimi
Nasser Rahmati
Anyone has Japan and Korea squad?
Vietnam beats Myanmar 3-0 pretty easy... Number 1 from Vietnam, middle-blocker, is great player really! He won 20+ points for sure, from attacks and blocks... Myanmar is so bad team 
I have watched Australia's match today and their libero should be 14 or max. 15 years old 
he looks so young and he is for sure, comparing him to Aus opposite who is 17 years old, this libero looks like 10-years old
India played great volleyball today!!!
Iran beats India 3:1 in very equal match. Few funny errors decided match like Iran's libero winning point after sending ball on India's court etc...
China - Aus for 15 minutes
Sukochev - Smith are 99% quality of this Aus team 
China - Australia 3-0 (29:27; 25:15; 25:22)
Rosters

only Jeong Kwang-In from the first team in Korean squad 
the final will be a replay of the first match between Iran and China. I am very surprised by this Iranian team.
The winner will get a chance in 2014 WL Qualifiers. (probably after a play-off match against best ranked Asian team). it means if Iran beats Japan tomorrow (and also in Sunday), Japan won't play in 2014 World League as well.

Remember in 2011 there was an Asian playoff between Iran and China?
Japan won't take a break.
Can anybody tell me how the result in the 2nd set went from 9-9 to 9-1 on the Korea v Vietnam match?
I kew they can give a point penalty to a team if they make bad rotation or something but how it can go from 9-9 to 9-1? I do not get it...

According to the rules, if one team makes an mistake in rotation, they will lose all points since the point where they started mistaking.
So a rotation error was in this case as well?
