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.
- breakfast, lunch or dinner included....depending on your shift.
- minimal prize money for individual events.
- significant prize money at the end of the winter....$5,000+.
- 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 the top 7-8 finishes, you can miss tourneys.
So get in the game, Play nice, and be relentless!. We will host 9-10 King/Queen of the Beach or seeded draws 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!
