It is hard to believe why fivb still keeps wild card selection a secret. It is only 1 month. Traditionally, it should be announced 35 days before the beginning of the match. What happens to fivb? No team wants this?

It's Dominican Republic...their federation has announced it already, but FIVB hasn't yet.

Where catch the Silver=points to Ranking is so simple as construction of snowman.
FIVB gave up of help developing volleyball in countries as in the past...FIVB always likes to use a variety of reasons or makes excuses for their stupid decision, but the standard of selection is always a diversification, which is simply ridiculous.
Maybe They first select a team, and then go to seek the reason to choose.Perhaps, the so-called wild card means the result after a diversifying selection, and FIVB is a fickle agency IMO. that sucks.
as we all know, Korea, China, Italy, Germany, Kenya, Argentina, which all have reasonable evidence to participate, yet depend on the preference of FIVB.
