Colorado Winter Beach Volleyball
Series 2011/2012
Welcome to the Colorado Winter Beach Series Website. In 2007, one of the local players approached us with an idea: why not try to create a winter beach tournament series that combines ranking elements of the PGA and ATP with the King and Queen of the Beach formats used in Volleyball. The hope was to provide a format that allowed up and coming players a chance to "cut their teeth" with Colorado's top tier players, while rewarding the better players with a chunk of cash at the end of the winter. The key components include:
- Sign up individually, you don't need a partner.
- Lots of play: 9 games per tourney beats an uno/dos or 1 to 25.
- Doesn't take all day...sessions will run ~4 - 4.5 hours~.
- Includes a Meal: $5 Island/Oasis Food Vouchers (valid tourney day only)
- Prizes for individual events (Balls and Coupons)
- Prize money at the end of the winter....$12,000!!!
- Increase participation by pulling new players in to the "scene".
- Pass the torch.....create an environment for the established players
to encourage, teach, and beat up on the next generation.
- Feed some egos by establishing winter rankings for players.
- Get winter touches: challenge yourself and improve your game.
- Flexibility: by taking your top 5 finishes, you can miss 2 tourneys.
So get in the game, Play nice, and be relentless!. We will host 7 King/Queen of the Beach events this winter with the top players receiving cash and prizes based on their points at the end of the season. It is a great way to keep in shape, challenge yourself, find new partner pairings and see where you stack up with the local talent!
