Vet & Newbie Tourney 4/14/12

Congrats to Jorge & Paul for taking the 1st and Aaron and G for their second place finish.

The 2nd annual Vet & Newbie tourney date is set. Join us on Saturday, 4/14/2012 for this fun event and our official kick-start to the Spring 2012 season.

The following is an example of the format we’ll follow- tourney will be tailored to number of players... At this time we will hold 18 spots for men and 12 spots for the ladies. Divide players into two groups of 9. The 9 “vets” draw a partner, and then into 3 pools of 3, games to 15?

This tourney starts with ranking our 'Vet' players who register from 1st to Xth player. The Newbies will then draw from a hat and based on the assigned number get partnered with the Vet to play in a set of games (Rd 1), then repeat for another round. We will start to eliminate the bottom from each group after end of round two. This goes on until we have the last four players, two vet and two newbies battling for the finals.

Start: 8:30 check-in , 9 a.m. start
Location: Sneakerz
Cost: $10/player prior to 4/13/12 and $15 day of event.

2012 Winter Series Championship

Thanks to all the players for making the KOB series such a great success. The championship tourney ended with 28 players battling for the double points and a chance to finish at the top. Great playing ball all newer and veteran players who have a fantastic start to the 2012 season. I always felt that we start the doubles season behind other states. I am excited to see all the play in the spring and summer by the NM Vballers.

We gave out hundreds of dollars in prize money, medals, championship trophy and other fun gifts to top finishers in both the Gold and the Silver division. Below is the breakdown (see attached for the overall results).
