How is your favorite team doing on the Road to Tokyo? There are still nine four-star events and the all important Rome five-star on the calendar before Olympic qualification ends. That means there are still plenty of chances for teams to make huge jumps in the Olympic rankings. Each teams’ top 12 finishes on the World Tour between September 2018 and June 2020 determine their Olympic rankings. At this point, it isn’t just how many points teams have, but improving their top 12 finishes that matters. Next week, I’ll write a post about replacing bad results, but today I want to introduce a new tool on the Beach Volley Blog.

This new tool has been on my mind for a while, but a few weeks ago, The NET LIVE podcast with Kevin Barnett and Jeremy “DJ” Roueche convinced me to build it. During one of their funny rants against the FIVB, they discussed how hard it is to figure out where teams had earned their Olympic qualification points. Was it a 17th place finish in Hamburg or a 3rd place in Espinho? It was exactly what I’d been thinking about for a while, so when I got some free time, I put this together. It isn’t as elegant as I would like it yet, but it helps you easily answer the questions the NET LIVE crew raised. I’ll continue to refine it over the winter, but it is good enough to share today. You can always find the tournament info for men and women on their dedicated pages.

Top 12 Finishes by Team

To use it, just search for a team and click on “only” next to their names. It will display all of their tournament from most points earned to least points earned. Scroll down for the women’s version.
