Final Four Notes Fédération Internationale de Volleyball [email protected] Telephone +41.21.345.3535 General Medal Match Notes This is the 229th women’s event on the FIVB Beach Volleyball Swatch World Tour, and this marks the 25th time that four different countries are represented in the semifinals. This is the fifth time this season it has happened (Myslowice, Rome, Stavanger, Moscow). In the first five years in Klagenfurt, one country had two teams on the podium, but this will mark the fifth time in the last six years that three different countries will be atop the podium. Three of the four semifinal teams have won a title this season, with only China’s Chen Xue and Xi Zhang looking for their first gold medal of the year. In fact, Brazil, The Netherlands and the United States are the only three countries to win a gold this season. Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh are the only one of the four teams to have won a Grand Slam this season, winning in both Beijing and Moscow. Xue and Zhang’s last Grand Slam title came in Moscow in 2010, while the 2009 Gstaad title marked the only Grand Slam victory thus far for Brazil’s Maria Antonelli and Talita Antunes. Sanne Keizer and Marleen Van Iersel of The Netherlands have won two titles (both this season) but none in Grand Slams. This marks the 11th meeting between China and the United States for a gold medal, with the USA leading 8-2, including 4-2 in Grand Slam title matches.

  • A Comparison of Rating Systems for Competitive Women's Beach Volleyball
    Statistica Applicata - Italian Journal of Applied Statistics Vol. 30 (2) 233 doi.org/10.26398/IJAS.0030-010 A COMPARISON OF RATING SYSTEMS FOR COMPETITIVE WOMEN’S BEACH VOLLEYBALL Mark E. Glickman1 Department of Statistics, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA Jonathan Hennessy Google, Mountain View, CA, USA Alister Bent Trillium Trading, New York, NY, USA Abstract Women’s beach volleyball became an official Olympic sport in 1996 and continues to attract the participation of amateur and professional female athletes. The most well-known ranking system for women’s beach volleyball is a non-probabilistic method used by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) in which points are accumulated based on results in designated competitions. This system produces rankings which, in part, determine qualification to elite events including the Olympics. We investigated the application of several alternative probabilistic rating systems for head-to-head games as an approach to ranking women’s beach volleyball teams. These include the Elo (1978) system, the Glicko (Glickman, 1999) and Glicko-2 (Glickman, 2001) systems, and the Stephenson (Stephenson and Sonas, 2016) system, all of which have close connections to the Bradley- Terry (Bradley and Terry, 1952) model for paired comparisons. Based on the full set of FIVB volleyball competition results over the years 2007-2014, we optimized the parameters for these rating systems based on a predictive validation approach. The probabilistic rating systems produce 2014 end-of-year rankings that lack consistency with the FIVB 2014 rankings. Based on the 2014 rankings for both probabilistic and FIVB systems, we found that match results in 2015 were less predictable using the FIVB system compared to any of the probabilistic systems.
