The men's Olympic Beach Volleyball Tournament at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing took place at the Beach Volleyball Ground at Chaoyang Park from August 9 to August 22. [ [http://www.euroteam.info/subeventdetail.asp?event=Summer%20Olympics&subevent=Beach%20Volleyball 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 had 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, counted towards Olympic qualification for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. [http://www.fivb.org/EN/fivb/viewNews.asp?No=10259 2008 Olympic qualification systems confirmed for Volleyball and Beach Volleyball] , FIVB, June 23, 2006] [ [http://www.fivb.ch/EN/BeachVolleyball/Competitions/WorldTour/2008/beach_page.asp?TRN=MADE2008&PG=PRE&No=15928 Adelaide hosts season-opening SWATCH FIVB World Tour Event] , FIVB, February 26, 2008]

There were 24 teams competing at the Olympic Games, with a maximum of two teams per country. [ [http://www.cbc.ca/olympics/beach-volleyball/story/2008/06/30/f-olympics-beachvolleyball-news.html U.S. beach volleyball pair win, Canadians lose] , CBC.ca, June 30, 2008]

Brazil had four teams in the top 10 of the FIVB Beach Volleyball Olympic Ranking, but only two teams from each country could participate in the Olympic Games. Also Germany, the USA, and the Netherlands had three teams each in the top 24.

Qualifiers

The official cut off date for Olympic qualification for beach volleyball was July 20, 2008. The final Olympic Qualification Ranking for the 24 teams, was announced confirmed by the FIVB on July 24, 2008. [http://www.fivb.org/en/Infomedia/PressReleaseDB.asp?No=17738&Language=0 FIVB announces final Olympic Ranking for men’s and women’s Olympic Beach Volleyball tournaments] , FIVB, July 24, 2008]

If the host nation had a team in the top 6 teams on the FIVB Olympic ranking when the Olympic Games began, it was automatically seeded as #1; therefore China's team Xu - Wu (ranked as #5 on the Olympic ranking,) was seeded as #1. Accordingly, the #1 ranked Rogers - Dalhausser, was seeded as #2, Ricardo - Emanuel as #3, M. Araujo - Fabio Luiz as #4 and Nummerdor - Schuil as #5.

The Brazilian team Harley - Pedro, was placed as #5 on the Olympic ranking, but did not qualify because of the two teams per country rule. Harley - Pedro was ranked as #2 on the World ranking per July 21, 2008, and #1 per August 4, 2008.
