Updated July 9, 2010 with detailed event information

  PRE-REGISTRATION CLOSED
We will not accept registrations after Noon on Friday July 9th

We do have space for a ton of teams at Magnusson and will be taking walk-up registrations from 8:15 - 8:45 AM

Venue:  

Magnuson Park  Address: 7400 Sandpoint Way NE  |  Seattle, WA 98115

The event is being held at Warren G. Magnusson Park in Seattle.  This is a massive park on the shores of Lake Washington, on the former Sand Point Naval Station -- a few pointers in finding the field.  The tournament is being held on the “Meadow” which is a wide open field at the east end of the park.  When you come into the main drive and pass the baseball and soccer fields you will begin to see signs.  Best place to park is the “North Sand Point Parking Lot”, next to the kids play area.  From there it is still a little bit of a hike down the trail to the sports Meadow (so plan accordingly).  You are welcome to bring tents, barbecues and the like, just be aware that you will have to cart it in and out of the filed.  There are restroom facilities adjacent to the playing venue.  Also, a reminder that I-405 is closed this weekend.

Check-in:

Like our beach tournaments, check in is from 8:15 to 8:45.  This event does not require USAV membership, however, if you are not a USAV member, we ask that you sign and bring this waiver form.  You will also have a check in form to sign when you arrive, this tells us that you are here and allows us to place you in a pol.  If you do not sign and check in by 8:45 you may lose your spot in the tournament. If you have friends that are thinking about playing and signing up Sunday morning, please remind them to be there during that 8:15 to 8:45 window. 

Playing in the Grass:

You’ll find that it is similar to indoors in that it is on hard ground.  Most grass players either play barefoot or in running shoes (because they have better grip in the grass than volleyball shoes).  You can also play in your volleyball shoes.  The nice thing about playing on the grass is that you will be able to jump and hit better than in the sand.  Diving will leave its mark, however J

Tournament Details:

We want to be able to maximize your play, so we will have pool play followed by a true double elimination tournament.  In the bigger divisions, play will probably go until at least 5:00 PM.  Medals will be awarded to the top four teams in each division. 

Extras:

We will have two white tents at Headquarters.  One is for check-in and will serve as the tournament headquarters, the other is the “State Games” tent where you can get your tee-shirt after check in and get sponsor product throughout the day.  There will be Clif Kid ZBars and Coca Cola’s Vitamin Water available throughout the day for participants.
