Notes

1. Rate Limiting: The skill uses browser automation which is slower than direct HTTP requests. Allow a few seconds per request.

2. URL Flexibility: You can use either:

   • Short identifiers (e.g., "usa-t1255")
   • Full URLs (e.g., "https://women.volleybox.net/usa-t1255")
   • URLs with suffixes (the skill automatically removes /classification, /table, etc.)

3. Historical Data: The database includes tournaments going back to the 1950s and earlier.

4. Cloudflare Protection: The site uses Cloudflare protection, so direct HTTP requests will fail. This skill uses Playwright for reliable data extraction.
