Under 16competition must complete a permission form
Player Registration
Players need to report on the beach between 6-6.30pm on Tuesday evening. The
courts will be located near the trampolines near the Pavilion. The Club
have permission for one car to be on the Esplanade to help organisation. No other
cars should be parked on the Esplanade at any time. Players can enter as
many weeks as they like, although obviously the more weeks they compete the better
chance they have of a higher ranking.
Levels of Entry
Teams can start in any series they choose but:
- A series is designed for experienced Beach players who are aiming to improve their
standard of play. They may be planning to enter the VEBT British series and/or qualifying
for the Weymouth Beach Classic run by Weymouth Beach Volleyball Club from 30th July-1st Aug 2010.
- B series is for players new to the 2 a side game or are looking for a more social
level of volleyball.
Once teams have played more than one event in the league there will be certain
rules about what series they can compete in these are:
- Any team playing in series A who has scored ranking points cannot then compete in
Series B ( except in exceptional circumstances) Any individual who has scored points
must seek exceptional dispensenation to compete in Series B.
- If a team wins Series B they are then expected to compete in Series A the following
week. After that week they may return to Series B if they wish.
Match Organisation
Each Tuesday at 6.30pm, after entry has closed a format will be devised which gives
as much playing time as possible but allows enough time for the final to be completed
before dusk. This format is the responsibility solely of the organisers. The organisers
will take into account number of teams, time of dusk and weather conditions.
Rankings
During the 11 week season players will score points in the 2 a side competition
towards gaining a Weymouth beach Ranking and becoming Weymouth Beach King or Queen
of the Beach for 2010. The points will be allocated as follows:
- Players that win the A series will score same the number of A points as number of
teams competing on that night. (i.e 8 teams compete 8 points scored. 12 teams competing
12 points scored)
- Runners Up will score half the points of total teams competing.
- Losing semi finalists will score a quarter the total teams competing (assuming a
minimum of 6 teams compete)
- Teams in the B series will score points in the same way.
- A points always out rank B points. ( i.e a player with 1 A point out ranks a player
with 42 B points)
- All points are attached to each player not per team.
- the Under 16 series will score points in the same way but there will not be compulsory promotion to the B series
