Position Movement Chart After Today's Matches
Hisamitsu, NEC and Saitama all clinched playoff berths today
PFU is technically in front of Okayama, but if Okayama wins, they would hold their spot.

Position Movement Chart with Today's Results
6 matches left in the regular season
A Hitachi loss OR Hisamitsu win will clinch a playoff berth for the Springs
A Hitachi loss OR NEC win will clinch a playoff berth for the Red Rockets
A Hitachi loss in <5 AND Saitama win will clinch a playoff berth for the Medics

went 11-0 on my picks with Caesars Sportsbook here in Nevada with V.League Men and women tonight.
Now Sir Safety Perugia needs to win for a complete 12-0 parlay for 9 to 1 return.

How will be new system? HOw many teams?
15 teams, 12 from V1 and 3 from V2 (Himeji, Gunma and Hamamatsu) have applied to be part of the Superleague.
However, the league has said that their top level will have a maximum of 16 teams. The league would like to have two conferences, so I would guess at this point it will be 12 or 14 teams, to allow for even number of teams in each conference.
-
How many teams are relegated? 1 or 2?
None with the shift to the new Superleague

Position Movement Chart with Today's Matches
JT will clinch a playoff spot with a WIN or LOSSES by both Hitachi and Toray
-
it is miya or mia whichever variant since the katakana for maya is マヤ. her surname could either be yemon or yeamon or if turned into japanese would probably start with an i in the way they pronounce every syllable
From as best as I can find, she has a Myanmar father and a Japanese mom and grew up in Tokyo after leaving Myanmar. I think the closest that I can guess is Miya Yaemon would be her name.

9 Matches left in the run to the playoffs
Position Movement after Today's Matches
JT has all but clinched their spot in the semifinals.
NEC, Hisamitsu and Saitama are all probably locks right now.
Denso and Toyota will still have points tiebreaker over Toray if tied on wins

The 1st Referee for the PFU/Okayama match looks suspiciously like someone who used to play for PFU
update - Nanami Wasai who is assistant coach for PFU now, so probably refereeing the match
Keiko Tanemoto, has been a long time referee. 2013 East Asia Games photo

Weirdest stat of Saturday maybe, NEC had 0 hitting errors in 4 sets. Every swing was in play (barring the blocked ones, which were still in play)
-
Sylvia has taken almost as many swings so far as the rest of Toray players combined
She had 63 swings of 119 for Toray today. She had 35 kills, and 4 blocks, nearly 50% of their points in a 3 set match.
39 in 3 sets, that's like a men's score.

PFU will do their best this weekend.

Empress Cup and the League are both streamed in VTV so that's probably why it's not easy for VBW to get it. The league has their own paid platform, and is actually available internationally. The Haruko is not on VTV, and can only be accessed in Japan (well, technically but VPN exists so I got to watch lol). Haruko Finals was also streamed last year on VBTV.
It would be great if VBTV can stream it all though
especially they are really expanding reach in Asia. Starting this year, AVC tournaments will already be on VBTV.easiest answer is that Fuji TV owns the rights, and Fuji TV worked with FIVB/VBW. League owns the rights for the League, and can do with it what they want. Hence way too many broadcasters, but also want it available domestically. We’ll see with the shift to the Superleague if VBW gets international broadcasts.

They dont stream it anywhere?

Kurobe is going to host this weekend, but also matches may be canceled/postponed if not safe. Kurobe did work with government to try and ensure passable routes just in cause for teams.
PFU and Aranmare will play in Shiga this weekend. This is per press release on League webpage.
