holidays we sent out our newsletter asking
people<br>to:<br>--Send us digital images of past champions<br>--Join the
Grassroots Campaign<br>--Send us information regarding
tournaments in your area<br>--Send us information about
Indoor Sand Facilities<br>--Tell their friends to join
the newsletter.<br>The response was overwhelming and
we would like to thank you for all<br>your help and
emails. Your comments and suggestions are always
appreciated<br>here at the AVP. We are looking forward to the 2002
schedule and will be<br>posting it as soon as it is
finalized.<br>We are still looking for information regarding sand
facilities around the country and once again remember to
tell your<br>friends to sign up for our
newsletter.<br>Thank you again from your friends at the AVP
Staff<br>---***---<br>History of Champions - The AVP is looking to build an
extensive archive of past champions. We are going through
all old record archives, but could use your help. Our
goal is to build complete biographies including images
of those<br>who helped create the sport. Who are
your favorite past champions and why? We would love to
get a few stories with photos of the great
Smith/Stoklos and Hovland/Dodd rivalry.<br>If you have any
digital images of past champions please email us today.
Also we are looking for any old photos of Sinjin and
Karch playing together.Grassroots - The AVP is looking
for contributors and editors<br>to help us reach out
to the volleyball community. The AVP has reserved
space at avp.com to highlight volleyball in your local
community. If you would like us to put your article or
photos up on our website, please send all information to
contact@.... We are looking for all<br>types of volleyball
activity so indoor information is terrific as
well.<br>Amateur Tournaments - The AVP will be devoting a special
section of our website for amateur tournaments, so please
get your 2002 tournament infomation ready to send us.
The section will list all tournaments that the AVP is
aware of<br>for 2002. Stay tuned for more
information.<br>Indoor Sand Facilities - Here in Southern California we
are very fortunate to have great weather and beaches.
However,we often become spoiled. For instance, if the
weather drops<br>into the sixties with the slightest of
winds, it is a good bet that nobody will be playing
ball. Being from the midwest,I remember praying for 50
degree weather in the spring so we could get outside and
play some ball. It always seemed to<br>take about two
weeks to get your sand legs. In addition to playing
volleyball in less than desirable conditions, we often
played at indoor sand volleyball facilities just
to<br>keep the touch of the ball. These facilities are very
common in the Midwest and East Coast. Volleyball players
are truly diehard fans and participants. The AVP
salutes those players<br>that make the phone calls, drive
an hour in bad weather (rain and snow), and pay
court fees just to play at an indoor sand volleyball
facility. This is dedication. The AVP is looking<br>for
best and the worst indoor sand volleyball facilities
and stories about the players who play in them.Send
us an email today with your story and images. We
have heard of people playing in heated barns in the
winter, is this true?<br>We need email messages from all
Volleyball Players. Support the AVP today and tell all your
friends to visit AVP.com. In addition, don't forget to
remind your friends to signup for<br>the newsletter. It
is as simple as entering your email. The more people

BEACH BITS From Sunday, June 17, 2001<br>
Courtesy of Tim Simmons<br><br> · The Gold Medal match
was an upset, as fifth-seeded Scott
Ayakatubby/Eduardo<br> Bacil beat top seeded Canyon Ceman/Mike Whitmarsh
for the title, marking the<br> second such decision
between the two teams todayâ€|Sunday's action saw six<br>
upsets out of 14 matchesâ€|out of the 16 matches in
Saturday's first round<br> winner's bracket, seven were
upsets, where the lower-seeded team topped the<br> higher
seeded teamâ€|in the other 32 matches on Saturday, there
were a total of<br> nine more seed breakthroughs, all
happening in the loser's bracket.<br> · For the second
straight week, the men's AVP title was won by means of<br>
comebackâ€|last week in Hermosa Beach, top-seeded Dax
Holdren/Todd Rogers<br> completed an unbelievable victory
after being down 13-7 in game three,<br> finishing with
an 8-2 run to win 17-15 over third-seeded Dain
Blanton/Eric<br> Fonoimoanaâ€|the Huntington Beach title was
claimed by Ayakatubby/Bacil, who<br> after winning game
one, held a brief lead at 2-1 in the second
gameâ€|following<br> that point, Ceman/Whitmarsh led the rest of game
two and all of game three<br> until Ayakatubby/Bacil
took the lead at 16-15 before winning 17-15â€|<br>
Ceman/Whitmarsh had two match points denied.<br> ·
Ayakatubby/Bacil finished the weekend with a perfect 6-0 record,
but it was<br> by no means easyâ€|each of their last
four matches required a third game, and<br> those four
matches averaged 58 minutes in durationâ€|the longest
match of the<br> tournament though, belonged to No. 2
Nick Hannemann/Adam Jewell and No. 19 Mike<br>
Lambert/Colin Smith, who battled each other for 1 hour, 15
minutes before the<br> higher seeds escaped with a 24-22
win in game three to advance to the Olympic<br>
Crossing semifinals.<br> · Ceman/Whitmarsh advanced to
the Olympic Crossing semifinals in what could be<br>
billed as the Battle of the Witsâ€|their opponents were
brothers Andy and Larry<br> Wittâ€|Whitmarsh of course
qualified by means of his nickname<br>
"Whit"â€|Ceman/Whitmarsh advanced with a 22-20 and 21-16 victory.<br> ·
Mike Lambert/Colin Smith were seeded 19th entering the
tournament, and<br> claimed an impressive fourthâ€|on
Saturday, the duo was unstoppable, defeating<br> three
teams (seeded 14th, 30th and 22nd) in advancing to the
winner's bracket<br> semifinalsâ€|on Sunday, although
Lambert/Smith finished in fourth place, the<br> only match they
won was a forfeit against fourth-seeded Brent
Frohoiff/David<br> Swatikâ€|their three losses came to the
fifth-seeded and second-seeded (twice)<br> teams.<br> Tim

Volleyball circuit owner plans to unify sport
(USA Today) Breaking news!!!<br>By David Leon
Moore<br>LOS ANGELES : Agent Leonard Armato hopes his latest
involvement with the financially <br>struggling sport of pro
beach volleyball turns out as well as what's going on
recently with <br>his biggest client, Los Angeles Lakers
center Shaquille O'Neal.Armato will announce today
<br>that he has acquired the Association of Volleyball
Professionals and will unify competing <br>beach volleyball
circuits into one domestic tour the AVP, which will
feature both men's <br>and women's competition.Armato
founded the AVP in 1983 and led it to surprising heights
<br>$100,000 first-prize purses, live network TV, recognizable
stars such as Sinjin Smith<br>and Karch Kiraly before
being ousted by the players in a political flap in
1989.Gaining <br>Olympic status seemed to give the sport a
stamp of approval, and it was a big hit in Atlanta
<br>in 1996. But sponsorship and TV money dried up in
the late 1990s, and at the end of 1998, <br>the AVP
declared bankruptcy.It reorganized and limped along the
last 2 years with drastic <br>cuts in events and prize
money.Armato's plan: unify, rebuild burned bridges and market,
<br>market, market."In the past, the players owned the AVP,
and they sucked out every dollar <br>into prize
money, so there wasn't any real marketing effort,"
Armato says. "The importance <br>of their sponsors and
the importance of TV were just not recognized. The
thing just <br>crumbled because of a self-driven,
ego-motivated attitude. I've told the players that we have
<br>to sell this sport 24 hours a day to the fans, to
sponsors, to TV."Armato has all the top <br>U.S. players,
men and women, signed to 4-year agreements with three
exceptions. The <br>reigning Olympic gold medalists, Dain
Blanton and Eric Fonoimoana, have not signed up. <br>They
are concerned about protecting their sponsors and
about freedom to compete on the <br>FIVB international
tour."It's a tour-friendly deal, not a player-friendly
deal," Blanton says <br>of Armato's contracts. "To be
that handcuffed is very difficult."But Armato and
Blanton <br>both say they expect to reach an agreement.
On the women's side, Olympian Misty May, a
<br>former partner of Holly McPeak, Armato's girlfriend, has
not signed.The first event under <br>the reorganized
AVP is June 8-10 in Hermosa Beach,Calif., where both
men and women <br>will play. In all, the 2001
schedule will include eight events (five with men and
women, <br>three with men only). Total prize money is
nearly $1 million. All events will be shown
<br>tape-delayed on Fox Sports Net.Armato had tough negotiations
with veteran AVP players <br>such as Kiraly and Mike
Whitmarsh over adopting FIVB rules smaller court, different
ball, <br>rally scoring.In the end, though, the players
had no alternative."The other option was to <br>stop
playing," says Whitmarsh, 39, who, paired with Canyon
Ceman, will be one of the <br>favorites at Hermosa. "We
made some compromises. We also came to the realization
that <br>Leonard might be the one who can resurrect
our sport."
