2010 Beach Volleyball World Tour Calendar
Monday, March 22, 2010 11:46Here we are again, gearing up for another year of Beach Volleyball. The FIVB has released their calendar for the year and it’s a big one.
You can check it out here: http://www.fivb.org/EN/BeachVolleyball/Competitions/WorldTour/2010/?sm=15
It seems to be quite well organised this year. As usual starting in Brasil, then moving to Asia, then Europe and ending back in Asia. The only problem I can see is that the Women need to travel back to Korea after their event in Italy and then on to Russia, but I am guessing that quite a few teams will skip those two events to save a few $thousand in airfairs.
SO we have a total of 14 events for the Men and 15 bfor the women.
Top 5 ranking coming into season 2010 are as follows.
Mens
1 Brink-Reckermann
2 Harley-Alison
3 Herrera-Gavira
4 Nummerdor-Schuil
5 Ricardo-Emanuel
Women
1 Larissa-Juliana
2 Talita-Antonelli
3 Ross-Kessy
4 Goller-Ludwig
5 Akers-Turner

No Rogers and Dalhausser in the top 5?

I don’t think they played enough tournaments last season. I’m sure they would still have close to the top seed if they do show up to play. But from the comments I have heard from Todd, regarding the FIVB keeping their bonus pool money I’m not sure when or if they’ll be back. It’s a shame that the FIVB is still run like a mafia… http://volleyball.about.com/b/2009/07/08/fivb-strikes-again.htm
