Beach volleyball world championship 2009

The beach volleyball world championship 2009 took place from June 26th to July 5th in Stavanger ( Norway ). The competitions for women and men were held in parallel. It was the seventh official World Cup. In the men's category, the Germans Julius Brink and Jonas Reckermann became the first European world champions with a win against the Brazilian duo Harley / Alison after defeating the defending champions Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser in the semi-finals . In the women's category, April Ross and Jennifer Kessy continued the US streak in the absence of the defending champions Walsh / May-Treanor . In the final they prevailed against the Brazilians Larissa França and Juliana Felisberta da Silva . The German volleyball association was represented with nine teams, Austria with five and Switzerland with six teams.

48 teams each competed for women and men. For both tournaments three wild cards were given. The German duo Lehmann / Sude , among others, benefited from this . The games were played at Vågen harbor . The tournament winners received $ 60,000 in prize money and 1000 points for the world rankings per team.

In twelve preliminary round groups, four teams each played each against each for a place in the main round. There were two points for a win and one point for a loss. In the event of a tie, first the direct comparison and then the sentence ratio counted. The two best teams from each group and the eight best third-placed teams reached the next round. From there on, the simple knockout system continued until the final.
