Pools composition edit

According to the qualification system, the twenty-four teams were placed into three pools of eight teams. For the first position of each pool, FIVB reserved the right to the three hosts with the top-ranked hosted team allocated to pool A, the middle-ranked hosted team allocated to pool B, and the last-ranked hosted team allocated to pool C. The remaining twenty-one teams were allocated into seven pots of three teams based on the FIVB Men's World Rankings of 1 January 2023. The order of drawing was applied with the serpentine system. The teams for the even-number position (Pot 1, Pot 3, Pot 5, Pot 7) were drawn and then placed starting from pool C to pool A. The teams for the odd-number position (Pot 2, Pot 4, Pot 6) were drawn and then placed starting from pool A to pool C.[5]

The drawing of lots ceremony was held at the FIVB headquarters "Château Les Tourelles" in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 17 March 2023, 13:00 CET.[3]

Pool standing procedure edit

  1. Total number of victories (matches won, matches lost)
  2. In the event of a tie, the following first tiebreaker will apply: The teams will be ranked by the most point gained per match as follows:
    • Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 points for the winner, 0 points for the loser
    • Match won 3–2: 2 points for the winner, 1 point for the loser
    • Match forfeited: 3 points for the winner, 0 points (0–25, 0–25, 0–25) for the loser
  3. If teams are still tied after examining the number of victories and points gained, then the FIVB will examine the results in order to break the tie in the following order:
    • Set quotient: if two or more teams are tied on the number of points gained, they will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of the number of all set won by the number of all sets lost.
    • Points quotient: if the tie persists based on the set quotient, the teams will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of all points scored by the total of points lost during all sets.
    • If the tie persists based on the point quotient, the tie will be broken based on the team that won the match of the Round Robin Phase between the tied teams. When the tie in point quotient is between three or more teams, these teams ranked taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.
