The Hawaii-style beach volleyball tournament, founded by two former sports students, is once again an integral part of the competition calendar this year.
As in previous years, this is a tournament for all interested parties, no matter how advanced they may be.
This mixed tournament invites you to play with players of the same skill level in your respective group and meet new people at the same time.
Game mode
Group stage:
- The game is played according to the official beach volleyball rules. In the event of errors, the players of the respective match must report these themselves.
- The games are played in one set to 15 points.
- The team that reaches 15 first wins the game.
- The points scored are added up at the end of the group phase and recorded on the score sheet. The highest score to be achieved is therefore 60 points.
- The women and men with the two highest scores advance to the knockout phase.
Knockout phase:
- In the knockout phase, mixed teams are drawn from the winners of the group phase.
- These teams play together until elimination/victory.
- The matches are played in one set to 21 points. If the score is 21:20, play continues until one team has a two-point lead and has therefore won.
- In the final, the matches are played in a best-of-three set. If the score is 1:1, the third set is played to 15 points.
The Hawaii-style tournament system
- The tournament consists of 4 groups with 10 players each.
- There are 3 skill levels:
Group A = beginners / Group B+C = intermediate / Group D = advanced - You will play the first game with your registered mixed partner, who should have the same skill level.
- In the further course of the group phase, you will play with three other partners.
