Before you play
Registration is not confirmed until payment is made. If you are not paid, you are not registered. The deadline is Friday at 12 pm (noon) for all events.
Refunds are only available up until your registration deadline, Friday at 12 pm noon. To cancel or refund you must email us — all other forms of communication are not accepted.
All adult players require an active Silver AVP membership, $25 per player, valid 365 days from purchase. Membership fees fund the $70,000+ Grand Prix for sand, grass and juniors, the National Ranking System, National Championships and insurance coverage.
Junior divisions must have an active AVP America membership. USAV membership is encouraged but not required, which allows juniors to receive bids for both AVP and USAV for most events. USAV also requires all staff be background checked and SafeSport certified. We can only award bids if everyone in your division has the memberships.
Junior bid requirements — AVP: 5 team minimum, 1st and 2nd get bids in the Open division and Gold brackets. USAV America Division bid: 3 team minimum with 1st, 2nd and 3rd receiving bids in the Open division and Gold brackets.
Check-in is from 7:30 – 8:00 am the day of the tournament, with play starting at 8:30 am.
If you are running late, call during your check-in window. If you have not contacted us by at least 15 minutes before the start of the first games you will be dropped from the tournament with no refund. Late players lose 1 point per minute late in their first game, and the same penalty applies once a ref has called for any later game to start.
Check your ranking and team points for accuracy the day before the event when pools are posted. Once the tournament starts everything is locked in — changes must be submitted by 10 am on the Friday prior.
Bring a reusable water bottle. Clean filtered water is available for all competitors and spectators at our complex events, and on-site food and beverage typically opens around 10:30 am.
On the sand
We follow FIVB rules for ball play and AVP rules for tournament play (AVP coaching rules and the AVP rule book).
Juniors are allowed two tosses for the serve. After the second toss, if you do not serve the ball you lose your serve.
Teams are generally required to warm up while waiting on the previous game to finish. If a team is not ready after 5 minutes, point deductions start at 1 point per minute up to 21 minutes, then it is a forfeit.
Tournament directors have the full right to change the event or play during the event.
Players report their own scores after each match in pool play and playoffs. Make sure your scoring account uses the same email you signed up with.
If you lose in the playoffs you must stay and ref the next playoff game.
All juniors make it out of pool play into the playoffs.
Coaching rules: coaches must check in, may coach only when the ball is dead, must be on the same side as their players within 5 feet of the line, and cannot delay the game or interfere with calls.
Fan favorite
King & Queen of the Court is played with 5 teams. Two teams start on the court and the other teams wait on the challenger side to serve.
The court has a kingside and a challengers side. Starting positions are determined by drawing cards — the queen starts on queenside and the rest go in the order of the draw.
Each rally begins with a serve from the challengers side. Any player from the team can serve.
If the challengers side wins the rally, they move to the kingside, and the other team leaves the court, waiting for their turn to serve again.
If the kingside wins the rally, they stay on the queenside and earn 1 point. Only the king/queen side can score points.
A team on the challengers side making a serve mistake is out and goes to the back of the line. The king/queen side does not gain a point.
There must be a maximum of 8 seconds between rallies — keep the pace up and the queue moving.
