Quote from Bartek

Dominican will lose to Puerto Rico, in Semi will lose to USA, will win Bronze Medal v Cuba or Canada and welcome easy qualific. Tournament to Rio.

No, the top four teams from this tournament wil play NORCECA Olympics qualification tournament in USA or Puerto Rico. You can see the regulation and hosting schedule on Tournament website and NORCECA website respectively. The same in Men's tournament.

The teams who have already qualified to Rio can not play in other qualification tournaments.

so possible teams for qualification tournament should be Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Canada

I think you forgot USA if you mean the continental tournament

The format of COGQ is round-robin because in the regulation use the word "Final Four". It looks like NORCECA champion cup (Final four) which qualified for World cup.

I forgot that USA didn't qualify from World Cup then USA should win COGQ without any doubts and it means that probably Canada is out - I suppose that with USA we'll see Cuba, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico

1st and 2nd African, 3rd North American and 3rd South American

from tournament in January:
- winner to Rio
- 2nd team to Japan
- 3rd to easy tournament...

Aren't you guys making a confusion?
I thought this would be equivalent to European CH, no vaccancies to Olympic games...the NORCECA qualification will happen only next year... or am I wrong?!?

Sidney, You're right This tournament is just a Continental Championships, Olympic Qualification is on January

USA NT Roster:

S: Alisha Glass, Molly Kreklow
OPP: Nicole Fawcett, Karsta Lowe
MB: Rachael Adams, Foluke Akinradewo, Tori Dixon, Lauren Gibbemeyer
OH: Megan Easy, Jordan Larson-Burbach, Kelsey Robinson, Krista Vansant
L: Kayla Banwarth, Natalie Hagglund

I think Dietzen is out because her physical conditions and Hill because she had a great loss in her family during WCC.

For the Final Four in January

There is a mistake with the rules.

The correct one is this:

-Winner go to Rio
-2nd team go to the easy tournament
-3rd team go to Japan

I already got the correct information from the fivb

Dominican Republic Roster

S: Niverka Marte, Camil Dominguez

OPP: Gina Mambru, Gaila Gonzalez

MB: Annerys Vargas, Jineiry Martinez, Marianne Fersola

OH: Yonkaira Pena, Brayelin Martinez, Erasma Moreno, Lisvel Eve Mejia

L: Brenda Castillo, Winifer Fernandez
D: Ana Binet

wow. are you sure? that'd make more sense, i guess, because then PUR will go to world qual. and DOM will go to the easy tournament then… so who else goes to the easy tournament, is it 2nd in CSV (i.e, ARG)?

no murphy?

DOM without rivera but 3 liberos!

Apparently Kirary prefers having Fawcett as back-up for Lowe, and It's better than having 2 lefties.
Murphy wasnt so convincing in WGP, I think that's why she's out.

Surprised to see Megan Easy up there, she hasnt done anything on court. I hope it's just for Hill's absence. I like Vansant better.

Ana Binet is not a Libero. She is a defensive specialist.

She is used only to replace the MB when serving, and play defense for the MB, when she is in the back row

Prisilla Rivera is resting this time and getting ready for the Final Four.

It does not make sense to reward a third place team, with an easy tournament, instead of giving that chance to the team that gets second place

Don't you think so?
