Mike and Diane's Fourth Annual "Sand Classic"
King and Queen
4x4 Coed Volleyball Tournament

Tournament Date: Saturday, August 13, 2005  


Can it get any better than this? YES, we know it can and are making subtle changes already. Thanks to all our friends out there who have shared their insight to help make our tournament better. The level of play skyrocketed along with the success of our fundraising efforts for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. A total of $2,100 was raised and presented to Kelly Holt.

Our 50/50 raffle netted $1,750 which resulted from 90% ticket sales. Many thanks to those thirty valiant sales people who worked their butts off! Our raffle winner, Rick Lavigne of Duanesburg was kind enough to donate back a portion of his winnings so that we could present Chuck’s boys with a gift of $1,000. Thanks again, Rick!

This year’s 2005 registration for three nets filled in four weeks, by Memorial Day. A fourth net filled in the next three weeks and the fifth not long after. I hope the grass court players in pool play will come back to play on sand next year, and a certain dethroned king may find himself in a moat somewhere, if he continues to argue line calls.

Some of the many fine ladies of the kingdom expressed a desire to hit and block at the net more often next year. We see no problem playing reverse co-ed in 2006. We are also considering thee divisions for semis and finals; Gold, Silver, and Bronze.

Diane spent many hours fine-tuning our scoring system and play-off format. I think she did a great job and I am sure it will be even easier next year. Thanks to Sandy and George Lawrence for helping with our website.

We want to thank one and all again, those who arrived early to help setup, those who took down nets after dark, and those who helped with the food preparation and cleaning. Hosting this event is a labor of love.

Spread the word – King Jake and Queen Catherine shall reign over our kingdom for one year. Who will challenge them in 2006? Mark your calendar for the second Saturday in August in 2006 (August 12th).

Pictures from the tournament will be up here soon.
