King of The
Beach Open (Handicapped)
The concept for the Master's King of the Beach
Open Handicapped Division was developed in order to get the numerous older
players, who rarely, if ever, play in tournaments, out to compete. Since there
is a wide age range of players 36 and older, an age based handicap points
system was developed. The idea for that came from USAV, where a handicap is
awarded to a team when it competes in a younger division.
Rules: You
must be at least 36 years old to compete. Let serve, rally scoring to 21, side
change every seven points, antennas and the 8 x 16 meter court will be used.
Format:
Players will be assigned by drawing into 4 person pools. Seeding will be based
on prior Master's Tournament finishes. The drawing will determine order of play
in pool. The first round will be a lighting round. Depending on the number of
players, some of the top seeds may get a bye for the Lightning Round. The
lightning round is three games to seven, played back to back to back with no
breaks or warm ups in between. The results, point differentials, will determine
each player's division. Players will be assigned to the Open or A division.
In open the players will be assigned to 4 man
pools. Three games per round, games will end at 21. The must win by two rule is
not in effect. After the first round, players will be assigned new pools based
on their rank in pool. Playoff/finals pool rankings will be determined by:
Number of wins then (PF)-(PA) + (H). (points
for-points against + handicap)
Winners of each round will advance to the finals
pool or a playoff pool, if needed. Winners of both rounds may receive a bye.
Playoff and final rounds will have the same basic
format as the opening round, the number and length of games will be determined
by the director based on the pace and other tournament variables.
The champion will be the finals player with the
highest PF-PA+H rank. In case of a tie the champion will be the one with the
most wins. If they are tied in number of wins, then the winner is the one with
the earliest birth date. (Birth date has determined finishing position at two
events.)
