The 2016 season of the Volleyball World Grand Prix was the 24th edition of the competition. It started on June 3rd and ended on July 10th. As in the previous season, 28 teams took part.
mode
As in the previous year, the teams played in three divisions, with promotion and relegation. Each division had two phases - Preliminary Round and Final Six (Division I) or Final Four (Division II and III).
All teams competed in the preliminary round. In the first three weeks (for divisions II and III there were two) three (for divisions II and III there were two) tournaments with four teams took place in parallel. The best four or three teams in the overall ranking qualified alongside the hosts for the final round. In the final round, the teams played group games “everyone against everyone” (Division I) or in a system of semi-finals and finals.
The number of wins was decisive for the placement after the group games. If the match was 3-0 or 3-1, there were three points for the winner and none for the loser. If the score was 3: 2, the winner received two points and the opponent one point. If two or more teams had the same number of wins, the order in the table was determined according to the following criteria: First, the number of points decided, in case of equality the quotient of the sets and finally the quotient of the ball points.
