The women's beach volleyball tournament at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing was held from August 9 to August 21, at the Beach Volleyball Ground at Chaoyang Park.〔(Available events for Beach Volleyball ), euroteam.info〕 Each of the 24 pairs in the tournament was placed in one of six groups of four teams apiece, and played a round-robin within that pool. The top two teams in each pool advanced to the Round of 16. The six third-place teams were ranked against each other, with ties being broken by the ratio of points won to lost. The best two advanced to the Round of 16, while the other four played two matches (#3 vs. #6 and #4 vs. #5) with the winners of those two matches advancing as well. The losers of those matches, along with the fourth-place teams in each group, were eliminated. The 16 teams that advanced to the elimination rounds played a single-elimination tournament with a bronze medal match between the semifinal losers. ==Qualification== The top eight finishes that a team has from January 1, 2007 to July 20, 2008, on the Swatch FIVB World Tour (2007 and 2008), SWATCH FIVB World Championships (2007) and on FIVB recognised Continental Championship Finals, counts towards Olympic qualification for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.〔(2008 Olympic qualification systems confirmed for Volleyball and Beach Volleyball ), FIVB, June 23, 2006〕〔(Adelaide hosts season-opening SWATCH FIVB World Tour Event ), FIVB, February 26, 2008〕 There are 24 teams competing at the Olympic Games, with a maximum of two teams per country.〔〔(U.S. beach volleyball pair win, Canadians lose ), CBC.ca, June 30, 2008〕 The USA had four teams in the top 8 of the FIVB Beach Volleyball Olympic Ranking, Brazil had seven teams in the top 24, but only two teams from each country can participate in the Olympic Games.
