What:
King/Queen-
A King or Queen of the Hill tournament is a tournament
where you play with different partners throughout
the day (women will play with and against women, men
with and against men, juniors with and against juniors).
The person who performs the best throughout the tournament
will be named the "King" or "Queen".
For this type of tournament, you do not need to bring
a partner (since your partners will be assigned throughout
the day). This is a good way to get into outdoor volleyball
and meet new people.
Regular
Tourney- These are regular doubles tournaments
(unless otherwise noted). You are required to bring
your own partner. There will be "pool play"
the first half of the day (where the teams are divided
into groups of 3, 4, 5... teams and play each other)
with the top 1, 2, 3... teams in each pool qualifying
for playoffs (the exact number depends on the number
of entries). A single (or double) elimination playoff
will determine the winning teams. Men's, women's, &
juniors' teams play on Saturday; coed teams play on
Sunday.
UALR/Betty
Stephens 3 on 3 Charity Tournament-
This tournament is a fundraiser for the Betty Stephens
scholarship at UALR. This scholarship honors a woman
who has helped women's athletics make great strides
in the state of Arkansas. We will have 4 divisions:
Power, Competitive, Recreational, and Juniors. Juniors
teams do NOT have to be coed, all other teams must have
at least 1 male & 1 female player. Teams will play
pool play matches in order to see who qualifies for
playoffs. At this tournament, we will also be having
a COSTUME CONTEST! The team with the best costume will
receive a prize! To be eligible for the costume contest,
costumes must be worn DURING the first match of the
day!
Prizes:
Power-
In the open divisions, cash prizes will be given.
For all regular tournaments, $200 is guaranteed to
the 1st place teams in the men's, women's, and coed
divisions and $100 is guaranteed to the 2nd place
teams (provided a minimum of 10 teams are registered
in that division). If more than 10 teams are registered
for that division, more places may be paid and more
prize money will be awarded. For the King/Queen tournaments,
a cash award equal to $10/registered player will be
awarded to the winner with $5/registered player going
to the runner-up. Sweet Sets merchndise may also be
awarded in addition to prize money.
Competitive-
To minimize the risk of players sand-bagging (playing
below their level), prize money in the competitive
division will be limited to an amount equal to the
entry fee. Prizes will be given out for the top placing
teams.
Juniors-
In order to avoid problems with later college eligibility,
juniors players will not be
awarded prize money. Top placing juniors players will
be awarded prizes recognizing their accomplishments
in the tournament. Sweet Sets merchandise may also
be awarded.
