NW Volleyball Summer Series -- Event #4

TOURNAMENT INFORMATION: AUGUST 21

2011 JUNIOR BEACH SERIES

EVENT #4, SERIES FINALE' (U16/U18/U20)

JUNIOR FOURS (U12/U14)

We are winding down to the final event of the series and we have a close race at the top of the standings. Several players are in the hunt for the series championship and the Grand Prize of an outdoor net system. We expect another great showing at Alki Beach this weekend and a very competitive field. With the mixing of the ages and combining doubles and fours, there should be plenty of room for one of our most popular age groups -- the U16's.

Jamba Juice will have a booth set up near tournament headquarters and will be selling smoothies and other items this weekend. With the great weather we are expecting, it should be a welcomed addition to the event.

We expect to have a good selection of Sand Socks. We will also have on-hand the Spalding King of the Beach volleyball for $45.00 -- the KOB is the official volleyball of the USA Jr. Beach Volleyball Series -- check with the tournament director if you are interested. Players are offered the opportunity to pre-purchase the KOB Volleyball for a $10 discount as part of their registration.

8:15 -- Check-in Begins for all teams IMG_0010 by usabeachvolleyball.

WHAT YOU NEED AT CHECK-IN:

Your USAV Membership Card

Your Medical Release Form

We keep both on file all summer, so you turn it in your first tournament. You can't play if you don't have it!

Sign the Waiver Form

No Later than 9:15 AM -- Rules Meeting and Court Assignment

IMG_0013 by usabeachvolleyball.

We go over the rules of beach volleyball and variations in place (doubles vs. fours)

We assign you to your courts by age group for your pool play matches

No guarantee that these will be your courts all day, but a good chance

We explain how to use and fill out the pool sheet

Approx. 9:30-9:45 -- Morning Pool Play Begins

IMG_0064 by usabeachvolleyball.

If this is your first tournament of the summer, we give out our free summer event tee-shirt during pool

Usually Round-robin pool play with pools of 3, 4, or 5 teams

After pool is over, you turn your pool sheet into the tournament headquarters

We ask that you verify the pool sheet before your turn it in. Once the sheet is turned in it is official.

Your meal/breaks are built into your pool play time (just like indoors)

Once all the pools in your age group/division are completed, it takes about 15-20 minutes to seed for playoffs. The sooner your pool gets finished, the more of a break you get :)

Lunch? Usually during your pool play breaks

Approx. 1:00 PM -- Single-Elimination Playoffs Begin

IMG_0063 by usabeachvolleyball.

Playoffs Continue throughout the afternoon

First and second round playing and officiating assignments are usually given out during the pre-playoff meeting

After that matches are assigned "TBA" so you have to pay attention for your team name

Finals for larger divisions are around 6:00 PM

For the raffle, no need to collect tickets before you leave. We enter you in the drawing and the higher you place, and the more teams in your division -- the more tickets you get in the drawing.

PRIZES? Of course! We usually give out prizes to at least 1st and 2nd place finishers. We award merchandise and/or gift certificates from our series sponsors. Because of amateur rules, we cannot award prizes larger in value than your entry fee.
