Style<br>Early reports say
Brazil remains dominant.<br><br>Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
-- Two US 4-man teams headed to Brazil this weekend
(February 26-27, 2000) to compete in the 1st ever "Volley
Four" -- an event whose name hopefully translates
better into Portuguese than English. Early reports have
the Brazilian team of Tande, Giovane, Anjinho, & Fred
winning the tournament, comprised of 2 American & 2
Brazilian teams. <br>American teams were Canyon Ceman/Ian
Clark/Dain Blanton/Eric Fonoimoana -- a team with numerous
historical partner pairing, & Stein Metzger/Lee
LeGrande/Collin Smith/Bill Boullianne. The other Brazilian team
had Loiola, Adriano, Ricardo, & Franco. By most
accounts, the favored team won.<br><br>The tournament was
organized to ensure a USA/Brazil final. More details to
follow as they become available. (Portuguese is just
different enough from Spanish to present Beachmania
considerable difficulties in translation.).
