General Information:
Door Prizes:
After the first round of pool play there will be a drawing for a door prize.
All participants are eligible, including ghost players. The winner will receive
a Wilson AVP Game Ball. If we
have eight or more ghost players signed up there will be a separate drawing for
them. (2 balls awarded)
History: This
will be the seventh annual Master's Tournament. The first three tournaments
were won by Mark Winkler. For more details: History
King of The
Beach Open (Handicapped)
The concept for the Master's King of the Beach
Open Handicapped Division was developed in order to get the numerous older
players, who rarely, if ever, play in tournaments, out to compete. Since there
is a wide age range of players 36 and older, an age based handicap points
system was developed. The idea for that came from USAV, where a handicap is
awarded to a team when it competes in a younger division.
Rules: You
must be at least 36 years old to compete. Let serve, rally scoring to 21, side
change every seven points, antennas and the 8 x 16 meter court will be used.
Format:
Players will be assigned by seeding, and drawing, into 4 person pools. Seeding
will be based on prior Master's Tournament finishes. The drawing will determine
order of play in pool. There will be two rounds of Pool play with 3 games to 21
in each round. Games will end at 21. The must win by two rule is not in effect.
After the first round, players will be assigned new pools based on their rank
in pool. Playoff/finals pool rankings will be determined by: Number of wins
then (PF)-(PA) + (H). (points for-points against + handicap)
Winners of each round will advance to the finals
pool or a playoff pool, if needed. Winners of both rounds may receive a bye.
Playoff and final rounds will have the same basic
format as the opening round, the number and length of games will be determined
by the director based on the pace and other tournament variables.
The champion will be the finals player with the
highest PF-PA+H rank. In case of a tie the champion will be the one with the
most wins. If they are tied in number of wins, then the winner is the one with
the earliest birth date. (Birth date has determined finishing position at two
events.)
Payout: $200
Guaranteed - $100 Champion, $50 Second, $34 third & $16 fourth. One hundred
percent of entry fees, beyond the first $200 will be added to the purse.
Entry Fee:
16 dollars
Registration:
Participants must be registered by 9:00 PM Friday the 17th of October. This
will allow us to determine the number of ghost players needed and ensure their
availability. You do not have to pay at time of registration; you can pay at
the door. Select "Pay by Check or Money Order" on the check out page.
Ghost players: Ghost players will be used to complete partial pools, maximum one per
pool. If, for example, we have 18 entrants, two players short of five full
pools. Two ghost players would be used to fill out the pools. Ghost players are
not in the competition and cannot advance. They will have "A" level
or better skills. We are going to try to have a bunch of players come out so
that if they are not used as a ghost they will be able to play pick up
games. If you would like to be a
ghost player, click register online. Put: "Make me a ghost" in the
comments section of the order form.
You will have a chance to win the door prize even if you are not needed.
Handicaps:
36-38 years=(0), 39-42 years=(1), 43-47 years=(3),
48-52 years=(5), 53-57 years=(7), 58-62 years=(9), 63-67=(11), 68+ = (13)
