Does Italy not already qualify for the finals since they're hosting?
It only says top 4 teams advance to the final round. It would've said top 3 plus Italy if they're included, but maybe they changed it this year given the situation. I'm guessing host country does not matter, Italy will still need to make the points into top 4 if they want to make the finals.

No I dont think so... It wouldn't be fair/make much sense if they did.

only top four, all teams in are in the same both this time. You've got to win to make the semifinals.
-
If all things go smoothly who do we see making top four?
USA for sure, Brazil if they can safely make it to the bubble, Italy if they want to win it on home court, and maybe Turkey?
China could change things up if they do send their A team.

NO,italy isn't qualified
Cev do it now with the superfinals and imo fivb should apply it...the home country don't need to be at the final if they didn't earned it
And about the semi finals imo usa is only granted,maybe turkey also that they take it seriously
Maybe japan also

I would expect China to send the A team for sure but not necessarily play all their A-team strategies with the Olympics being so close.

NT teams needs playing time together as much as possible. They didn’t play together for more than year and half or even more.
Hard to believe they are gone play frendly matches before Olympics. So I’m expecting many NT sending their best players. You don’t have so much time to prepare and to play many matches before Olympics.

FIVB has changed its mind and finally allowed to roster changes during VNL.
Max. 6 players can be replaced during the games. This replacement can be done at once, one time only and at the one day: 9th June in female teams and 12th June in male teams. The same amount of people (as entering) has to leave a team.
-
I think with this rule many NT are gone send their best players.
Their is not better training for your team from playing the matches. Especially when it comes to cuting the players from final roster for Olympics.

At contrary
With last rule you were forced to play with 18 players all tournament what makes you play with you 12 to OG + 6
Now the teams could let their best players at home to rest and bring them back for the last part of championship

provided they are quarantined as best as possible.

Will the pool configuration be the same as the 2020 VNL edition that didn't happen and dates just adjusted to fit the 3 days of matches followed by 3 days of rest format?

Maybe but normally if you look the groups are organized in different continents and countriws so we would watch all matches during day
Maybe they change

Do we know how many locations they are using?
Will there even need to be "pools" as play is just a complete round robin? (I think)

how can it be a bubble if there are multiple locations?
There weren't really "pools" in pre-corona VNL either -- it was just one giant RR.

You can create a bubble featuring multiple gyms/arenas.

Apparently it looks like this so I think it'll only be in one city.
