How Points Are Awarded:

• First place players receive as many points as there are teams in the tournament, plus a bonus of 50% of the points available (rounding up). For example, if there are 12 teams in the men's division, the winning team would receive 12+6 pts, for a total of 18 pts.

• Second place players receive as many points as there are teams in the tournament, minus 2

• Third place players receive 2nd place points minus 3

• Fourth place players receive 3rd place points minus 4

• Fifth place players receive 4th place points minus 5 etc

• Scoring continues until the number of points received equals 0

 

Coed points will be awarded in a modified format. Points awarded will be a much lower percentage than the men's/women's events, due to the format of King & Queen of the Beach being men's/women's.  Points for coed will be explained during the "A" division check-in. 

 

Only teams competing in the "A" division will earn points towards the regular King/Queen of the Beach rankings. All athletes qualifying for the Master's Division (age 30+ in women's, age 35+ in men's) will receive points based on final ranking at each tournaments. Points earned in the "A" division will be higher than points in the "B" division when determining final ranking.

​

The top scoring 5 men and 5 women will be invited to participate in the King/Queen of the Beach and Master's King/Queen of the Beach Tournaments on July 22/23.

 

Players must advance to the next highest division after his/her FIRST win in any division: Novice, B, and A. This applies to Men's, Women's, and Coed tournaments. Once a player earns points in a division, they may not play in a lower division for the remainder of that season. A player may be allowed to play in a lower division than that required by these rules, but that player’s team will not be allowed to advance out of pool play.
