If you say "VNL an invitational tournament" how they counted World League or WGP into FIVB ranking ?

I remember so many "strange" decisions in history of FIVB so everything is possible ...

WGP and World League weren't fully invitational tournaments as it is the case with VNL. There were qualifiaction to WGP and so on and so forth, that is why the points to the ranking were counted. As far as I know there will be no points for VNL to the ranking (it was decided when they created this competation) but with FIVB everything is possible.

Polish federation announced today that one of tournaments will be in Poland and then they also published the schedule of Poland in the 2019 edition of VNL.

From this we can tall that like this year the "weekends" for women are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and preliminary phase will start on May 21st and end on June 20th.

21-23 May (Poland, Radom): Poland, Germany, Italy, Thailand

28-30 May (Netherlands): Netherlands,Brazil, Bulgaria, Poland

4-6 June (Belgium): Belgium, Serbia, Russia, Poland

11-13 June (China): China, Turkey, USA, Poland

18-20 June (Korea): Korea, Dominican Rep., Japan, Poland

Katarina Barun to Ageo Medics (JPN).

Has she cured her fear of flying?

Probably not I think that she only wants to avoid flying when possible. I don't know if in Japan they are traveling by plane for some matches or not.

Erin Fairs (USA, OH) signed with Trefl Proxima Kraków.

Barbara Dapić (CRO, OH/OPP) in Fenera Chieri.

Both confirmed by their agency.

She wants to stay in Italy cuz her girlfriend is Italian, but I have no idea where she could play..

Do you know who is it? There were rumours about her being a lesbian, but it was never officially stated anywhere.

I wonder what's the reason of Mędrzyk's absence... Lately she has never been with NT for the whole season. Last time it was in 2015 as far as I remember. Then weeding in 2016, last year after first part of the season she left NT due to foot injury and now once again. I won't be surprised if Nawrocki will "forget" about her if the reasons of her absence are not important.

From what I know, Bergamo is really determined and is going to buy her contract with Police. But we need to wait for official news.
It was 600K for 4 years. One year left so it is like 150K (35000 euro).

Femke Stoltenborg (S, NED) signed with Grot Budowlani Łódź.

Rumors about Anna Bączyńska and Alicja Grabka in Radomka Radom.

For sure they have already singed somewhere. They are marked as unavailable on their manager site. Stenzel as well, she most probably goes to Budowlani Łódź.

Finland! Like this girl since her appearance in X Factor UK in 2016. She is a bit "crazy" and probably not a cup of tea for everyone but I love craziness

Berenika Tomsia in one of her interviews said that her Korean team agreed for her to come with a dog and sister, so she will not return to volleyball probably.

There is a rumor about Barun is gonna play for Bergamo next season. Maybe Smarzek will play as OH instead of OPP

Nope, she said yesterday that she will play as OPP in her club so she asked NT coach to consider her as OPP and not OH.

Damaske didn't even appear in Szczyrk, so this is not a surprise. She was only there on the list... I do not know the reasons. Maybe she is still punished because once upon a time she finally decided that she will not play in Łódź
