The first annual Newbie & Vet tournament run by NMVBUG was a tremendous success, even mother-nature helped...a warm day with slight breeze was perfect day for volleyball. The newbies felt welcome and really stepped up their game. The vets were all very accommodating and helped the newbies improve their game. The random draw in each round was a great way to mix and match players. It was a little tricky to start, even with all the preparation, with a few cancellations and a few additions...we had to quickly make some changes--and it was not as fast as we had hoped, but we made up time with the rest of the tournament running smoothly with the assistance of some great friends. 16 men and 14 women seemed to be the perfect number to allow continuous play and very little waiting. I was pleased that the women decided to run their full three rounds of pool play before cumming into a double elimination round.
Thank you players for coming out and making this a successful event. A special thanks to Cristina, Mike, Sam, and ZZ for helping Jeff and I,
The Newbie & Vet tourney is less about results and more about how much fun everyone had. All the Newbies and most of the vets shared that this was a great experience.
