FIVB: Quebec Main Draw (Live Video)

Fivb quebec maindraw

The qualification round has ended and its now time for the main draw.  Four Canadian men's teams and six Canadian women's teams have made the main draw.  The female team of Cowley-Mingay entered the main draw last night via the "lucky losers" draw and are matched up against #1 seeded Kessy-Ross of the United States.  While I am writing this, it is one hour before any of the games begin, and the rain is coming down pretty hard.  Follow us on twitter for updates regarding rain delays.  Matches, results and live scores below.

UPDATE: All but one men's team (Redmann/Saxton) and two women's teams (Lessard/Martin and Bansley/Maloney) lost their first match. Regardless, all teams will play a second match today. Should a team lose for a second time, they are eliminated from the event. If it is their first loss, they still have a chance to win again today to return to competition.

UPDATE 2: The second round is well under way. Scores as they come in below:

FIVB: Quebec Country Quota (Live Video)

Fivb quebec country quota

So I am currently in the air on my way to Quebec City, Canada for the next stop on the 2011 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour.  Quebec City is the only North American stop on the FIVB this year so many Canadian and American teams are utilizing this event as an opportunity to gain some international experience and maybe even get a few entry points to their names.  Sandwiched between grand slam events overseas, some of the teams that regularly compete on the tour are skipping the Quebec event in favour of a week off.  Country quota matches take place on Tuesday July 19th with many Canadian teams and a few American teams taking part.  As always, check back to Kill on Two for scores, results and live streams.
