Stanford Women’s Club Volleyball Team Presents... Summer 2009 Grass Volleyball Series Saturday, July 11th - Men's Doubles - Women's Doubles - Hybrid Reverse-Coed 2 & 4s * * * INDIVIDUALS: Sign up for the Free-Agent Wait List. * * * 8-9am On-Site Registration ACCEPTED for Men/Women's 2s. Registration is CLOSED for Hybrid R-Coed 2s & 4s. The Stanford Women's Club Volleyball Team will host a fundraising grass volleyball tournament on July 11th (Saturday). The formats will include Men and Women's Doubles and Hybrid Reverse-Coed 2s and 4s. The formats will take place simultaneously so you may only participate in one format. What is Reverse-Coed? Reverse-coed games are played on a women's regulation height net. Women play as usual - hitting and blocking at the net. Men, however, must hit from behind the 10-foot-line and may never block. This format levels the playing field - making the game fun for both men and women. Click here for Reverse-Coed Doubles Rules. What is Hybrid R-Coed 2s and 4s? HYBRID Reverse-Coed 2s and 4s is a format invented by VBmatch. You sign up with a partner of the opposite gender as a pair. That person will be your permanent partner for the day. Half of the pool-play games will be Reverse-Coed 2s, where you and your partner are a team. The other half of pool-play games will be Reverse-Coed 4s, where another randomly selected pair will become your teammates (the other pair is randomly selected and changes for each pool-play quads game). Your pool-play results determine your ranking as a pair. The first half of playoffs will be R-Coed 4s. Quad teams are formed by pair selection, starting with the #1 ranked pair who may choose any pair including the #2 pair. The selection process goes down the list from there: the next highest ranked pair that has not been picked then chooses their teammates and so on. Single-elimination R-Coed 4s competition is played until there are only a few quad teams left. At that point, the quad teams revert back to their original pairs; former teammates must now play against each other in R-Coed 2s competition. Thus, it would be unwise to choose a pair that is much better than you. While they may carry you through the quads competition, a much better pair would likely eliminate you in the first round of doubles competition. Single-elimination R-Coed 2s competition will be used to determine the sole surviving pair - the winners of this Hybrid Tournament. Each pair will be scheduled for a minimum of 4 pool-play (round-robin) games. All pairs will advance to playoffs. Cash Prizes will be awarded to playoff winners. For Hybrid R-Coed A division and Men's 2s, $9 from each team/pair entry fee goes into the prize pot; for Hybrid R-Coed B division, $8 from each team entry fee goes into the prize pot. Second place prizes are awarded once the pot exceeds $100. * * * INDIVIDUALS: You can sign up for the Free-Agent Wait List. * * * Scroll to Bottom of Page to Register
