    Do you have any stats from these matches or they are unreadable by people who do not read Japanese?

    Do you have any stats from these matches or they are unreadable by people who do not read Japanese?

    Unfortunately all in japanese, but it's possible to check them with translator ^^

    Gold medal - World League 2013 Prediction Game
    Bronze medal - World League 2012 Prediction Game

    For me to do the stats for each individual match would take too long. I can give you the top point scorers, blocker, servers, etc. for the whole league, but to do it on a match by match basis is too long.


    I try to have the highest point scorers if under 20 points, and then any player over 20 points.

    Thank you both for your answers :)
