http://www.beachmasters.fr/From November 29 to December 1, the Montpellier organizes CEV Beach Volleyball Zonal tournament. This tournament European teams will present to win up to 140 points FIVB, always in sight of the Olympic Games Rio 2016.
CEV Zonal is a new format of competition at European level where countries are grouped by region. The tournament held in Montpellier will help promote national teams since France (host country) has the right to present six of 12 teams in each genre. This is a real opportunity for French and French to acquire FIVB points. These points will then be recorded at the international rankings to qualify for the World Tour tournaments, then a second time for the Olympic race to RIO 2016.Le CEV Zonal Montpellier will be composed of a total of 12 French teams (six boys, 6 girls) and 12 foreign teams from three different nations in each genre. Each table will consist of four pools of three teams, pairs being distributed equitably over their FIVB points.
