VBUG Winter Series, KOB #4

Registration for KOB #4 series is now open...

Since it's the new year- a quick update to what the series is...

We play a total of 9 games per player (regardless of wins/losses). You don't need a partner since it is a King of the Beach style. Players are ranked by points earned from playing previous tourneys. Usually, the top 2 players from each pool will move up and the bottom two players will move to the silver after first round. The results of the second round dictates if you play 1-4, 5-8, etc. you get the point.

Simply put, this is just lots of play in a short time that is plenty of fun! Cash and prizes for top finishes is a bonus to bragging rights. :-)

Points accrued in all tourney are tallied up (don't worry there are two tourney remaining to get more points) and we will have a season championship on 3/18/12 that is sure to be a great way to jump into the spring 2012 season.

Wave 1: Aaron, Harris, Jeff, ZZ, Tod, Sam, Ryan B., Phil
Wave 2: Craig, Desi, Larry, Daniel P., Nat, Kevin, Dan, Bryan F.
Wave 3: Travis, Adrian, Mike S., Greg
Wait List(next 4 players): Joe,

VBUG Winter Series #3 12/18 (results)

It's been a very busy week...so sorry about the late post, but better then no post-right. :-)

The results are now posted...just click on the "KOBseries standings" on this page.

The 12/18 tourney was a fantastic way to end the 2011 KOB series and prepare us for the 2012 season. It is really exciting to see all the new players give sand doubles a shot and have a blast. We continue to see improvement in all levels of play. This is great, a true testament to our guiding principles, we encourage new and current players to compete and have fun.

Great job by everyone, this is fast and furious tourney and little time for everyone to sit around and watch others games. But I noticed some really good play from Devin, Adrian, and Nat. Craig took home the trophy, nice playing buddy (told you to come out and play more often).

Just when you think you figured it out, we get a new challenge. Fortunately, we are surrounded with people who are willing to work together to make it all fit together. Thanks for continuing to support 'beach' volleyball in ABQ - a couple of last minute changes- a small bump in the road, and we still managed to start at 9 a.m. as and finish before 1:15 p.m.

KOB #2 had a number of returning vets including nine new players (not new to the game) but new to KOB series. The overwhelming response from the group was that they enjoyed the format and plan to play in the next one!!! Woo Hoo...lets keep growing this event.

A big thank you and Congratulation to all the players. I noticed better playing all around...Kudos to Amy for taking the leap to play on a men's net and play hard...Amy stepped it up and won her first pool. A big "way to go" for Aaron and G. for taking their game to the next level. Big props for some of the newer/returning players who tried doubles and KOB for the first time (Mark/Nat/Ryan J.).

See the results attached... and have a great month, see you for
