The 2008 Summer is here!

NEW VENUE!! Brier Park - 2903 228th St. S.W. Brier, WA
Due to high demand, we've moved to a park that offers more room (16 courts instead of 8), super-close bathrooms, and a cabana with tables. Woohoo!
To accommodate the varied skill levels and offer the most enjoyment for all, this year, we will have "intermediate" and "advanced" divisions unless we don't fill them up. In that case, the first 16 of each gender to register will be 'in' for that event.

NEW this year - Any player who plays in all 3 of the events will receive a free T-shirt designed specifically for the D&D Series!

Over the 6 years that we’ve been running these tournaments, we’ve had 25+ different Dukes and 25+ different Duchesses.  But more importantly, we’ve had tournament after tournament of great volleyball (12 games in a day!), and LOTS of fun in the sun (food, friends, and the occasional Blue Angels fly-by).

The list below has not been updated with this last summer's royalty.

All tournaments are AA/A/BB combined unless otherwise stated.

How does a D&D tournament work?

It’s a reverse coed doubles format – so you will have a women’s height net and men have to hit behind the 3 meter line.  Generally, we see a mix of A and BB players that enter.
We start with 16 men and 16 women in each division that are randomly divided into 2 pools.  You play 8 games (rally scoring to 25, no cap), each with a different opposite sex partner against each of the same sex players in your pool. Game scores are recorded at the end of each match.
After pool is complete, players are seeded and divided into 4 levels of bracket play – Platinum, Gold, Silver, & Bronze.
Based on your seed, you will play 2 games as a group of 4 – playing with a different partner each game. The winners will be determined by win/loss and in the case of a split, by points. The winners on each net will move to the championship round for their bracket following the same format. The “non-winners” move to the consolation match in their bracket.

Registration Information

Early-paid entry is $20 per person ($25 if you choose to pay on tournament day instead of mailing in) which includes: beverages, food, and prizes. In past D&D’s we generally provide a wide variety of food such as breakfast breads, fruit, salty snack, candy, sandwich fixings, cookies, water & Gatorade.
Pre-registration is mandatory due to the limited number of spots open each tournament as well as the format of play that requires 16 men and 16 women in each division.
Since we rely on players to bring their nets to make this tournament a reality, if you are willing to provide a net, we will take $5 off your entry fee.  Please state this when you register.

How To Register

This season, we will be accepting registrations for all events beginning Monday March 17th. Entry will be on a first-come, first-serve basis and your spot will be secured by your early registration fee of $20.

Step 1: Email bill@sfvbclub.org with your registration information (Event Date, Your Name, Phone, Email address, Level of play (Advanced or Intermediate), and AVPNext number) 

Step 2: Mail or hand deliver your check payable to StrikeForce Volleyball Club for $20 to:

          Bill Foote, Direction of Operations
          StrikeForce Volleyball Club
          4128 164th St SW

         
Lynnwood WA, 98087

          We will email confirmation that your registration has been received.

Step 4: Show up on the day of tournament, no later than 8:15am, and play! 

Wait Listing

These tournaments tend to fill up quickly, but we do offer a waiting list, as individuals will cancel. Please be sure we have your full contact information so we can reach you.

If the tourney is full, we do invite you to show up the morning of the event. If a player does not arrive by the beginning of the first game, he or she will forfeit their spot in the tournament.

Cancellation Policy

In the unfortunate event that you discover you can’t play, we ask that you provide SFVB Club at least 5 days notice so that we can allow others on the wait list to play. The success of the D&D tournament relies heavily on having exactly 16 men and 16 women as we have a full schedule already determined in advance. You will be provided a full refund.
If you do not show up the day of the event you will forfeit your registration fee and you may not be allowed entry into future tournaments. 31 other men and women in your division are counting on you to be there to make the tournament a success.

Want to Get More Involved?

We are always looking for volunteers to help with the morning set-up, managing the registration desk & tournament tent and breaking down the event. Just let us know if you would like to assist. The success of these events over the past 4 years has been due in part to the volunteer efforts of many local volleyball enthusiasts.

We will make at call at 7am the morning of the tournament after visiting the field. If the weather is miserable, we will begin calling you at the contact number you have provided to inform you of the cancellation. If you don’t hear from us by 7:30am, the tournament is on. If in doubt, you can call us -  206.972.7500 (Bill).

If we have to cancel, we will try to reschedule for an upcoming weekend if there is enough interest, or we will transfer your registration to another D & D event, or you will be provided a refund.
