AVP ANNOUNCES 2006 SCHEDULE
January 25, 2006
Courtesy Of AVP

LOS ANGELES - January 26, 2006 - AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour, a
wholly owned subsidiary of AVP, Inc. (OTC: AVPI.OB), a lifestyle
sports entertainment company focused on professional beach
volleyball, today officially announced its 2006 Tour season
schedule, which includes two new events, five new cities, and a
record $3.5 million in prize money. The prize money is split equally
between the men and the women and represents a 17% increase from
last year's purse of $3.0 million.

This season, the AVP Tour will visit 16 cities, including five new
additions - Birmingham, Ala. Sacramento, Calif., Atlanta, Ga.,
Brooklyn, N.Y, and Lake Tahoe, Nev.:

March 31-April 2 - Ft. Lauderdale, FL
May 5-7 - Tempe, AZ
May 18-21 - Santa Barbara, CA
May 26-28 - Huntington Beach, CA
June 9-11 - Hermosa Beach, CA
June 15-18 - Sacramento, CA
June 29-July 2 - Seaside Heights, NJ
July 6-9 - Atlanta, GA
July 13-16 - Birmingham, AL
July 20-23 - Chicago, IL
August 10-13 - Manhattan Beach, CA
August 17-20 - Brooklyn (Coney Island), NY
August 25-27 - Boulder, CO
August 31-Sept 3 - Cincinnati, OH
September 6-9 - Las Vegas, NV
September 14-17 - Lake Tahoe, NV

Tickets will become available shortly
All events will be televised with coverage on NBC and FOX Sports Net
(FSN). A detailed broadcast schedule will be released soon.
The expanded 2006 schedule comes on the heels of a very successful
2005 season. The AVP Tour experienced healthy growth last season,
including a 48% increase in its fan base, according to Scarborough
Sports Marketing, which compares favorably to the growth in other
sports properties for the same time period.
In addition, AVP has developed several promoter relationships to
help bring tournaments to cities that might not otherwise host such
events. Local organizers are responsible for selling all local
revenue for the tournament, including tickets, concessions,
sponsorships and hospitality. Event cities with local promoters
include: Sacramento (Sacramento Sports Commission), Atlanta (Atlanta
Sports Council), Birmingham-Hoover (Bruno Event Team), Brooklyn
(Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment) and Cincinnati (Reach Event
Marketing). AVP's strategic alliances with top local promotion
companies allows the AVP Tour to have a strong presence in new
markets without the standard upfront capital resources as well as
gaining year-round, aggressive marketing and outreach for each event.
"We are thrilled at the success and expansion of the AVP Tour and we
are looking forward to coming into these new markets and returning
to several of our 2005 Tour stops" said Leonard Armato, CEO and Tour
Commissioner. "We are pleased that, through successful promoter
alliances, we are able to bring the excitement of beach volleyball
inland, expanding beach volleyball and reaching a larger audience.
With our fan base continually growing and a record amount for prize
money, this looks to be the best AVP season yet."

Oldtimers' exhibition wows crowd at annual beach volleyball event
By Rob Miech
<rob.miech@...>
LAS VEGAS SUN

Near dusk Saturday outside the Hard Rock Hotel, a men's beach
volleyball semifinal at the Aquafina Shootout yielded to some
peripheral action that picked up steam, and followers, by the minute.

A warm-up court in the shadows of the bright lights that beamed down
upon center court drew waves of attention and applause, inducing more
and more fans in the main stands to crane their necks for a better
view.

Sinjin Smith and Randy Stoklos were back.

The dynamic duo teamed to win a record 114 beach volleyball events,
and they prepped on the side court for a Legends match that teamed
them for the first time in 10 years.

One thing led to another, and a couple of regular Joes wound up
challenging Smith and Stoklos. Soon enough, Stoklos fired spikes as
if he were playing for a gold medal.

The oohs and aahs became contagious, and the ring around the practice
sand grew deeper. Fans at the edges of the center-court bleachers
took notice, which spread out like a wave.

"People in the U.S., and around the world, still know who we are and
have quite a respect for what we did, so it was nice to see that they
didn't actually forget about us," said Smith, 46.

Smith and Stoklos dispatched Ricci Luyties-Brent Frohoff in two sets
of the best-of-three Legends match, which was played for charity.

Smith still has fantastic sleight-of-hand tricks. Instead of setting
an easy one for Stoklos, Smith flipped the ball behind him with a
feather touch, just over the net and in front of his stunned and flat-
footed foes.

Stoklos dusted off his old-school serve, in which he tossed the ball
30 feet, jumped and then nailed a wicked knuckler. He also showed he
hasn't lost his fire, spiking with authority.

"It was kind of exciting," said Stoklos, 42. "I don't know if those
guys (Luyties and Frohoff) take it all that seriously. They should.
Every time I stepped out on the court, I took it very seriously."

They weren't the only legends on the sand, either. Leonard Armato is
perhaps the most important figure in the history of the sport. He
began the Association of Volleyball Professionals in 1983, then
watched it deteriorate in the late 1990s.

The players forced a coup, taking over ownership, then various
wannabes nearly mismanaged it into oblivion.

At the Sydney Olympics in 2000, Armato had an epiphany when he
witnessed how the sport had become so globalized. He worked to wrest
control of the AVP, merging two rival groups, and resuscitated the
game.

"What he did, initially, was huge," Smith said of the birth of the
AVP 20 years ago. "None of us playing at the time had any idea that
the sport could be as big as it got. When he left, the sport went
downhill in a big way. It went in the other direction.

"He proved he's the only one who could bring the sport back and take
it to the next level."

Armato owns Digital Media Campus and Management Plus, which has
represented Lakers center Shaquille O'Neal, boxer Oscar De La Hoya
and actress/model Pamela Anderson. His sprawling, three-level home
occupies a prime spot in Manhattan Beach.

And he's a former beach volleyball player, so his passion and
profession merged in 1983. Early on, he orchestrated a strike, even
having one player serve another with a breach-of-contract lawsuit on
center court.

He said the AVP is close to being self-sufficient, turning an annual
profit, since he has poured "millions of dollars" of his own funds
into the project for more than two years.

Armato believes the tour's presence in Las Vegas, the final stop of
the regular season, will become enhanced in the future, and the
weekend action didn't disappoint a near-capacity audience.

Dain Blanton and Jeff Nygaard became the first men's team to win
consecutive events this season with their two-set victory against
Scott Ayakatubby and Brian Lewis late Saturday night.

On the women's side, Misty May and Kerri Walsh became the first duo
to record an undefeated season when their whitewash of Holly McPeak
and Elaine Youngs completed an 8-0 campaign.

McPeak and Youngs finished second to May and Walsh in all eight of
their victories.

"We want an event here in Las Vegas that people look forward to,
every year, right after Labor Day," Armato said, "and continue this
tradition and continue to build upon it."

As influential as Armato has been in giving the AVP new life, some
matters are, and will forever be, out of his control. Atop that list
is the touchy chemistry between partners, which results in regular
turnover.

Eric Fonoimoana, a gold medalist -- with Blanton -- at the Olympics
in Australia, dumped Dax Holdren a month ago because Holdren had been
slow to recuperate from arthroscopic knee surgery.

Just days later, Fonoimoana won the Manhattan Beach Open with Kevin
Wong.

Last week, Fonoimoana paused often when asked about the drama about
his break-up with Holdren. However, initial reports that Fonoimoana
wouldn't play in Las Vegas were incorrect as he showed, playing
alongside ...

Holdren.

Wong sat in the south bleachers, with friends, as Fonoimoana and
Holdren lost in a semifinal to Ayakatubby-Lewis late Saturday
afternoon.

McPeak knows all about that drama, as she played alongside May during
the 2000 season.

"It is difficult," McPeak said last summer in an interview on the
U.S. Olympic website. "Everybody wants to win. Everybody wants the
best combo that is going to help them win. Sometimes the stress of
not winning can get in the way of a partnership."

The strongest team in the history of the sport continues to give back
to it, as its victory Saturday night drew raves from an adoring crowd
for Stoklos and Smith.

For the past two years, they have conducted clinics on Southern
California beaches for kids, ages 7 to 16, to develop interest in
beach volleyball and hone their skills. Stoklos said 1,000 have
passed through the nine-week clinics.

He also admitted he last had a real job when he flipped burgers as a
teenager. Stoklos and Smith received only room accommodations and
expenses for their weekend efforts.

"I've definitely been blessed," Stoklos said. "I've been in the right
place at the right time. I treat the sport as it treats me, and if I
put it in that high regard, I'll be OK. We did quite a bit for,
really, nothing.

"Again, our passion is to play. A lot comes along with that
responsibility, with No. 1 being promoting the sport. You sometimes
don't make any money, but you get a lot out of it."

I just sent some of my old Smith/Stoklos photos to Lori O. She'll be
adding those photos to my scrapbook soon!

Please don't use any of my Smith/Stoklos photos without the written
expressed consent by me.

Thank you,

Hurricane Harbor hosts 'H20'lympics
About 100 take part in event for at-risk youth

By GRETCHEN MACCHIARELLA
For The Signal
Wednesday, July 1, 1998

One hundred at-risk kids slid, paddled and floated their way to
victory early Tuesday morning.

Six Flags Hurricane Harbor hosted the "H2O"lympics, sponsored by
Athletes and Entertainers for Kids, where 10 teams from all over
California were joined by a celebrity coach. Spokesman Andy Gallardo
said organizers targeted the involvement of volunteer mentorship
programs.

"(The kids) have all been identified as at-risk youth — someone who
could use a mentor," said Gallardo. "This is a reward for their hard
work all year."

The day started early with teams getting ready to compete in three
events on different attractions throughout the park, all before the
park opened at 10 a.m. Teams played inner tube basketball in the
Forgotten Sea Wavepool, had timed trials down the Bamboo Racer and
relayed against each other in the River Cruise.

Final awards were given to the top three teams. Third-place medals
went to the red team, coached by "Uncle Buck" star Jay Underwood. The
team, from Dos Palos, 35 miles north of Fresno, left at 1 a.m. to get
to the games. The second-place award was given to the Yellow team
from Tulare coached by MTV VJ Simon Rex. The first-place blue team, a
teen fathers group from Los Compadres, was coached by television star
Dawnn Lewis.

One member of the winning team, 17-year-old Gabe Perez, said he had a
great time and especially liked the Bamboo Racer. "I won, that's why
I liked it," Perez said.

Patricia Ledesma also won in the timed race on the slide and said she
was wide awake — though her teen pregnancy prevention group,
Community Challenge, had left their home town at 4 a.m.

"I was so excited I couldn't sleep the whole night long," said
Ledesma, of the blue team.

Professional volleyball player Randy Stoklos was the only coach to go
to the top of the slide and send off his team.

"I think that it's just a matter of giving them a little ... winning
spirit," Stoklos said.

The coach for the Santa Clarita Boys and Girls Club, Olympic gold
medalist Bruce Jenner, said he was "just out to have a good time like
the rest of the kids."

Santa Clarita Boys and Girls Club member Jared Hall, 11, screamed the
whole way down the 45-foot tall slide. At the bottom he said, "It was
cool. It wasn't scary or anything."

The 10-person inner-tube relay near the 1,300-foot river was more
about figuring out the best way, not necessarily the strongest,
according to 15-year-old Bryan King. His team won the race.

"You just have to be smart about it," explained King. "Go with the
current, and you have to cut the corners."

The five-on-five water basketball games were not about size either.
Just over 4 feet tall, 10-year-old Matt Walker, in the 6-foot deep
water with 2-foot waves, was on the winning team. Walker said the
waves made shots difficult, and they "push you off your inner tube."

The groups were also allowed to bring non-competing group members, a
total of more than 600 people involved, and after the park opened,
all were invited to stay and have a free day at the water park.

Hello all... I noticed this awesome article on the bvbinfo.com site.
The article has some great photos of the guys working with volleyball
players in their clinic.

I could have sworn that Smith/Stoklos got their 100th win in Phoenix.

Oh well, just thought you'd want to know how our guys are doing!

Sons of the Beach

With their playing careers
behind them, the beach-volleyball
legends are giving back

By Grace Wen
gwen@...

Even in retirement, it's not hard to convince Sinjin Smith and Randy
Stoklos to come back to the office.

When the office you've known most of your life is the beach, it's
easy to understand why they would linger.

Smith and Stoklos are easily beach volleyball's most recognized team.
During their 11-year partnership (1982-1993), they won 115 domestic
and international tournaments together, a mark not likely to be
threatened anytime soon.

Through their efforts in promoting the sport, beach volleyball was
added to the Olympics in 1996. Smith and Stoklos were recently named
the Federation of International Volleyball's Team of the Century in
an induction ceremony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Both have retired from playing professionally -- Stoklos in 1998 and
Smith in 2001 -- but they are far from done working for the sport.
Part of their latest pursuits involves instructing and preparing the
next generation of beach players.

They hatched the idea for a beach volleyball camp a few years ago and
got it to flourish last summer in Southern California, where both
grew up playing on the sand courts that dot the coast. With the
approval of FIVB President Ruben Acosta, they will also be running an
international training center this summer for Olympic hopefuls.



GEORGE F. LEE / GLEE@...
Randy Stoklos taught two beach volleyball camp students how to set
last week.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------





Last week, Smith and Stoklos simplified their vast knowledge and
experience to a more fundamental level while conducting two camps on
Oahu.

Actually, only half of the Team of the Century made it. Smith was in
Australia as an alternate for the television show "I'm a Celebrity --
Get Me Out Of Here."

Stoklos ran the clinics with Association of Volleyball Professionals
tour member and Hawaii native Lia Young and former University of
Hawaii setter and camp director Mike Kantor.

"It's pretty exciting for me to come out here," Stoklos said. "It's
been quite a long time since the last time I played in an open at
Fort DeRussy. I'm pretty excited about doing this camp here for the
kids."

His excitement is in part due to the islands. Hawaii has been good to
Stoklos. He and Smith picked up their 100th victory as a team at Fort
DeRussy more than a decade ago and he estimates they've won 11 of the
12 tournaments held in Hawaii.

"Every time I come out to the islands and play, there's very much of
an island spirit for myself. I've been well-received here," Stoklos
said. "It's just a really nice thing to come out and play where
people appreciate your talents and understand the game, that aloha
spirit. I really do miss the people that came out here and cheered me
on and made me play as good as I could."

Hawaii wasn't the only place people cheered. Smith and Stoklos have
been victorious on just about every stop of the AVP tour and have won
U.S. and World Championships together.

Their partnership was a record in longevity until they separated in
1993 to focus on different aspects of the sport. Eventually, Smith
moved toward the international game while Stoklos tried for success
on the domestic tour with other partners. He knew he wouldn't find it
in the same capacity.

"It's pretty interesting for not playing for quite a long time with
each other, when we do get together and play there's definitely a
magic that happens," Stoklos said.

"It's very effortless. It's an enjoyment to go and play with somebody
you know inside and out. That's really what gave us the ingredients
to win all the tournaments we did. We are the epitome of a team and
we work off of each other very well. We have the same goal and that
is to make the sport bigger and do anything that we can to make it
bigger."

A peek at their resumes shows there aren't many goals they haven't
achieved.

Smith was the first volleyball player to be inducted to the UCLA Hall
of Fame. He lobbied hard to get beach volleyball admitted as an
Olympic sport and now he presides over the FIVB World Council and its
219 member countries.

Stoklos was beach volleyball's first million-dollar man. He ranks
third on the all-time career earnings list with $1,798,569. He was a
four-time MVP of the AVP. Their legacy in the sport as players would
seem complete, so now they're working toward leaving a different mark
in the sand.

"I've gone throughout my life going from beach to beach, to a lot of
beautiful places, and around a lot of beautiful people always being
outdoors and I can't say that would have happened if I were playing
indoor volleyball or any other sport," Stoklos said.

"If we had the opportunity to go and have a place that we could leave
a court, to leave our name in that way, it would definitely be a
positive thing. I'd love to have an opportunity to do that."

After expenses are met, the proceeds from the camp will be donated to
the United States Youth Volleyball League to promote the development
of youth volleyball programs.

How to play

Kings of the Beach - Professional Beach Volleyball(tm)


Beach bums move into Beverly Hills

Back in the '50's (just before Frankie and Annette hit the scene)
beach
volleyball was uncomplicated. No audiences. No publicity. No prizes.
No babes.
The guys were just kings of their own little sand castles.

Today, the game has outgrown its Southern California britches. Pro
beach
volleyball has fans in places as diverse as San Diego, Honolulu, Rio
de
Janeiro and Sydney. Prize money can go as high as $100,000 for a
tournament.
If these guys still have a beach bum image, it's a gold-tinted one.

Of course, one thing is still the same in this modern day sport of
kings. And
that's motivation. It's all about being King of the Beach, where the
royal
garb is a golden tan and the queen is dressed in a leopard-skinned
bikini!


Rules of the game

Now you've got the chance of a lifetime, a chance to hit the beach
wearing the
same shorts as volleyball gurus Randy Stoklos or Sinjin Smith.

This game is played according to the rules of world championship
volleyball.
Points can only be scored by a team when it's in possession of the
serve. If
you aren't serving, and your opponent knocks the ball out-of-bounds
or fails
to hit it, a "sideout" will occur (nobody scores and your team gets
to serve).
In a one game match, the winner is the first team to reach 15 points.
In a
three game match, each game is decided by the first team to reach 12
points.
NOTE: All matches must be won by 2 points.

Key rules to remember: Each team is allowed to touch the ball up to
three
times before sending it back over the net. No player is allowed to
touch it
twice in a row.

Up to four players can play this game at once. However, if more than
two
players are digging in, a separate adapter is required.

To begin play, press the Start Button and cruise over to the Beach
Scene where
you'll choose your mode: PRACTICE (BUMP, SET or SPIKE), MATCH PLAY or
TOURNAMENT PLAY. Remember to visit the Registration Tent before
competing.


Your role models

Kings of the Beach is programmed with the playing styles of Sinjin
Smith and
Randy Stoklos. While you've gotta play smooth and make all the right
moves,
programmed player intelligence really helps out. Through hours of
discussions
with Smith and Stoklos, we've set up statistical shooting percentages
and
accurate playing styles that simulate those of this dynamic duo.

Sinjin Smith
Ht: 6'3" WT: 190
HOME: Santa Monica, CA
AVP RANKING: 1
Sinjin is the most successful player in beach volleyball history. He
is the
all-time leader in career wins and the sport's highest money winner.
Smith is
considered a great defensive player and a master of the dig.

Randy Stoklos
HT: 6'3" WT: 215
HOME: Pacific Palisades, CA
AVP RANKING: 1
Nicknamed "Vanilla Thunder", Randy is the most dominant player on the
beach.
He intimidates opponents with his killer jump serve and his
devastating
one-armed KONG block.


Setting up the action

Spike - After pressing the Start Button, you'll see Spike (the punked-
out/
funked-out wonder boy) kicked back on the Beach Scene. Be nice to
this cat,
because he's the dude you gotta hang with to get around. He'll be a
sort of a
buddy ol' pal who'll guide you from the Practice Courts, to the Match
Play
Zone, to the Tournament of Champions.

To motivate Spike (remember, it usually takes a blonde bombshell or
at least
some heavy duty waves to raise the average beachcomber's blood
pressure),
press the Control Pad Up, Down, Left or Right. Once you've cruised
into the
area where you want to chill-our or fire-up, press the A Button.

The Beach Scene
Any time you want to hit the Beach Scene, press the Select Button


The registration tent

The first place you should go with Spike is to the Registration Tent
(unless
you just want to fine tune your game on the Practice Courts). This is
where
you will meet the lovely Annette "Va-Va-Va-Voom" FunaJello, who'll
help you
get started (don't take that literally!)

Once under the tent, use Controller #1 to make your selections.

Using the Control Pad and A Button, assign Sinjin, Randy, Chaz and
Miguel to a
Controller. (If one person plays, only assign one of the pros. If two
people
play, assign two pros - etc. For three or more players, a four-player
adapter
is required.) Press the A Button again to lock in each selection.

Next, choose either COOPERATIVE or COMPETITION. If 2 people play,
Sinjin and
Randy can either team-up (cooperative) against computer assigned
players, or
split-up (competition) and challenge one another.

The final choices you'll make will be the game level (EASY, MEDIUM or
DIFFICULT), 1 or 3 set matches and whether or not you want the hip LA
Sound
Machine On or Off.

After you've cleared all of your selections with Annette, move the
cursor to
"Exit To The Beach" and press the A Button.

HINT: If one person plays, Sinjin can be automatically selected by
simply
moving the cursor to "Exit to the Beach." You'll then play with
Controller #1.


Practice courts

The Bump, Set and Spike courts are the areas where you'll sharpen
your game.
Stroll over to one of these courts with Spike and then press the A
Button.
Coaches will be waiting here for you, and they'll set up shots for
you.
(Sorry, they won't provide any advice on how to meet chicks!)

After you finish practicing, press the Select Button to return to the
Beach
Scene.


Match play mode

Here's where you'll partake in a little unfriendly competition. Up to
four
players can go at each other's throats, provided you have an adapter.

Remember, in a one game match, the first team to score 15 points will
win over
the crowd. In a three game match, the team to score 12 points first
is the
victor. Needless to say, two out of three victories will win the
match.

The tournament of champions

The Tournament is made up out of five stages. You'll proceed from one
stage to
the next by winning three 15 point games consecutively. Each time you
win
three in a row a password is displayed. Write this baby down - that
way if you
want to take a break to wipe off the sweat, you can return to action
later by
entering the password on the TOURNAMENT PASSWORD SCREEN.

To return to the Tournament, choose CONTINUE on the Tournament
Password Screen.
Next, press the Control Pad Left or Right to select appropriate
password
letters. Lock in each letter by pressing the A Button.

NOTE: In a Tournament a maximum of 2 people can play. One of you will
wear
Sinjin's shorts. The other will wear Randy's. You'll then team-up
against a
couple of computer slammers.


The big shots (from nerve serves to jock blocks)

The Underhand Serve (AKA: The Skyball Serve) - This is a high-arcing
serve
that sends the ball deep into the opponent's court. This serve buys
you
plenty of time to get in position for your opponent's return.
Move yourself into position using the Control Pad, then press the A
and B
Buttons simultaneously to launch this serve.

The Flat Serve - This basic beach volleyball serve will force your
opponents
to make quick adjustments. If you hit it right, you'll launch a
rocket about
two inches above the net. But if your timing is off, the ball will
thump
into the sand, and all the volley dollies will turn their heads in
shame.
Press the Control Pad to move into position, press the A or B button
to toss
the ball, then crush it by pressing the B Button.

The Jump Serve - This is a difficult serve to master. But if you do,
its
high speed can force mistakes from your opponents and help establish
net
dominance. With proper execution, the poor schmoes on the other side
of the
net will have to return a meteor with a nasty topspin.
Go for the Ace by using the Control Pad to Position yourself, press
the A or
B Button to toss the ball, then press the A Button to slam it home.

Serve only after the ref blows his whistle.

NOTE: Change the ball's direction by moving the Control Pad Up or
Down, Left
or Right. (Because timing is so important, this maneuver is tricky to
master.)

The Set - This is a controlled shot used to set-up your teammate for
a
spike. Usually the second of the three shots, it's a soft, high pass
that is
lofted toward your teammate.
Press the B Button briefly to make a low toss (for quick plays).
Press the B
Button longer for a high toss. Again, you can move the ball using the
Control Pad.

Receiving a Serve - When receiving a serve, you want to use the bump
shot.
You might also think of bumping the ball if you're out of position
for a
spike.
To bump, move into position and then press the A Button.

The Spike - Use your three hits effectively to set up the hammer
spike. To
surprise your opponents, try spiking on the second shot (but only if
you
see a gaping hole in their defense).
To spike, press the A and B Buttons simultaneously. Change the
direction and
force of the spike by pressing the Control Pad toward your opponent's
court.

The Block - To block a spike, you'll want to be at the top of your
jump just
as your opponent hits the ball.
To block, press the Control Pad Up to jump, then press the A and B
Buttons
simultaneously.

Kong Block - Stoklos is a master of utilizing a one-handed KONG BLOCK
to
hammer the ball back into the opponent's face.
Press the A and B Buttons simultaneously, while pressing the Control
Pad
toward your opponent's court.

The Feint - You can use this maneuver when making either a block or
spike.
Press the A and B Buttons simultaneously, while pressing the Control
Pad
toward the back of the court.

Diving Reception (Dig & Dive!) - When you go for a ball that you're
too far
to get completely under yet are too near to miss entirely, you'll
automatically dive for the ball.

A Tip On Hitting - The ball always lands in its own shadow. To be in
the
right position when the ball comes down, stay in the shadow. Also
remember,
timing is everything, and if you wait TOO long before hitting the
ball it
will plop into the sand.

Arguing A Lame Call - If you think the ref made a lousy call, you can
"discuss" your feelings with him. Through the fine art of
intimidation, you
may convince the ref to reverse his call. If the call goes your way,
be sure
to say, "Good call, sir." If not, be sure to keep "Near-sighted
moron" under
your breath. To argue a call move your player next to the referee's
chair
and press the Start button.

Warnings and Point Deductions: A yellow card means you've upset the
ref and
he's giving you a warning. A red card means the ref's had enough of
your
barking and he's docking you a point.

NOTE: You may only dispute a call before the score is displayed.


Cast of characters (your show-no-mercy tournament opponents)

Stage 1 (Coronado Beach, San Diego)

Calvin
The sorriest player on the circuit. Calvin's fear of the net and his
lousy
eyesight make him an easy target for a six-pace slam. Careful play
should send
this rookie home. (Calvin is also in Stage 3)

Mack
He'll have his moments of studliness, but his net game is strictly
blue
collar - like his background in the construction biz. (Watch out for
his
sledgehammer spike in Stage 4)

Selznick
One of the sport's founding fathers and the original king of the
beach. Gene
is the ultimate finesse player. He has only two weaknesses: Slim and
None, and
we all know where Slim has gone.

Wilfred
A classic beach bum, he spends his days "bagging rays", and nights
building
burritos at El Taco Bomb. This leaves him little time for V-Ball
practice, so
slam on him hard. (He'll team with Arnie in Stage 5)

Von Hagen
Von is known for his strength and technically precise skills. He's
been outta
the scene for awhile, so he may not have his sand legs. (Von Hagen is
also in
Stage 2)

Lester
He may be a killer on a skateboard, but his volleying is far from
rad.
Sometimes his "thrasher" attitude pulls him through, but generally
his best
spikes are in his hair. (Watch out for Lester's dirty tricks in Stage
2)

Stage 2 (Oak Street Beach, Chicago)

Arnie
After going up against his killer spike, some of his opponents call
him the
Terminator. He's a pure player who never gives up. (In Stage 5 he'll
prove to
be a regular Beach Barbarian)

Gunter
A product of East German genetic engineering, this guy comes to play.
He's got
an awesome spike that must be blocked if you expect to win. Try not
to get
psyched out by his power. (In Stage 3 Gunter will claim to be the
ultimate
volleyball machine)

Hansen
An up-and-comer in the pro ranks. Leif's strength is his vertical
leap. So
watch out for his wicked jump serve.

Hanley
A native of Santa Barbara, John is great at blocking shots around the
net. If
you'd prefer not to get the ball stuffed down your throat, try to
dink some
of your shots. (Hanley is also in Stage 5)

Stage 3 (Waikiki Beach, Hawaii)

Mano
Nicknamed the Smokin' Samoan, Mano is a real scrambler. The backcourt
is his
domain, so try to draw him to the net, then keep the pressure on. (In
Stage 4
watch for his Skyball Serve)

Kahuna
A member of the Hawaiian royal family, Kahuna spends most of his time
surfing
the pipeline and chasing wahinies. He may not be quick, but he can
surprise
you with big plays.

Stevenson
"Johnny Steve" is the shortest player on the tour. But don't let his
size fool
you. He spent a lot of hours hang-timin' with Spud Webb, and now he's
one of
the best leapers and defenders on the beach. (Stevenson is also in
Stage 4)

Stage 4 (Copacabana Beach, Rio de Janeiro)

Raoul
He claims to be the father of the Brazilian Jump Serve. His speed on
the beach
is amazing, but his hot Chili Pepper temper can be his downfall.

Armando
This notorious Latin lover is as smooth on the court as he is off. So
watch
out for his passes and his attempts to woo you to the net.

Powers
A member of the 1984 gold medal team, Powers is considered one of the
world's
premier spikers. He's also an incredible intimidating blocker.

Stage 5 (The Great White Beach, Australia)

Reggie
The Aussie's answer to outback V-Ball, this down under kinda guy has
tamed as
many opponents as he has man-eating crocodiles. Net play is his forte.

Hovland
The mighty Hov is a flawless player. A USC grad, he has an unbeatable
presence
at the net.

Buzz
Maniac Buzzy is a ferocious blocker who has earned the respect of
many a beach
babe. Spike poorly against him, and you'll be eating leather.

Dodd
This four time world champion never makes a mistake. He's all over
the court
and plays superb defense.

Okay so sometimes you just feel down...especially if you're female.
Then you've got to take stock and realize what the good things are in
your life. Like Lynn said, I can die happy now that I've met all my
volleyball heroes.

I played in my first Manhattan 6 man tourney and it was awesome!
While my team- known fondly as "the Women of Enron" did not win, we
had fun and I hopefully will lose the E tanline on my shoulder
sometime soon.

The highlight of the tournament was seeing so many volleyball heroes
in one place! I met Steve Timmons, the reason I started playing
indoor volleyball and probably why I've dated at least 1 red head in
my life :) I then met a volleyball player who is a regular on the NBC
soap Passions- known as Luis. He was quite good and played for Los
Muchachos- my friend's restaurant's team- with some wonderful San
Diegans Eli Fairfield, Masui Allen, Mike Mattarocci, and of course my
hero, second only to Sinjin...Randy Stoklos.

He was so nice I was practically swooning and he actually thanked me
for asking him for a photo- how is that for meeting your hero! Like
Lynn said, he played awesome and really took command of the team when
the refs made a few questionable calls.  They played awesome and it
was great to watch them gather such a huge crowd. They were all fired
up and just amazing to watch. I definitely will be out to play next
year!

Randy, thanks for making my year!
Gidge

Randy was playing this past weekend in the Manhattan 6-man tourney!
He played on the Los Muchchachos team. I think they came in 3rd or
4th place. One of my great friends, Ghen, was excited to meet him and
have a picture taken with Randy. So, thanks Randy for making that
happen for Ghen!

Randy looks in great shape and is as competitve as ever. I can see
the Stokie that I grew up idolizing out there and hungry to win
games. I hope to have pix up soon that I recently took of him playing.

See ya later,
JC

Hi,Lynn!!
Sorry for the late reply as that show was 2 weeks ago but yes I heard it as
broadcasted and the quality of the audio was awfull as you said.I bet Geeter was
chuckling at the thought of Randy,Sinjin and KK getting their wires,headphones
etc. all tangled up and disconnected if that was the problem...lol it's really
not fair to blame it on those guys but Chris did say before he left what will
you guys do without me if an emergency arises and sure enough it did.Also in a
previous show we will have to kid our pal Albert Hannemann as apparently he got
up from his chair still all hooked up to the mikes & headphones and pulled them
apart momentarily losing the broadcast as it went to dead air.....lol
What I did hear was a gr8 story from Stokie about the closest he has ever come
to death on a volleyball court from the heat in a match with sinjin as his
partner way back when?? on Ipanema Beach
in a Brazilian event when he was sooo exhausted that he turned to Sinjin during
a break and said"GET ME OUTTA HERE" Sinjin said that guy on the other side of
the net is just as bad as you feel and get out here(he carried him onto the
court)for one more sideout and just at that point in the match the oposing
player cramped and could not continue and Stoklos/Smith were the champions!!!
Wow what a great story and there were many more,so perhaps KMPC will repeat or
archive the broadcast in the future,if not you know we have discussed
my(our)plans to do what we can.E-mail me soon as I have a scenario that might
work but need your input with Eric,AlB and DFKids.Peace,Late,
Unca Nick

did anyone catch last week's radio show? Randy was on it with Sinjin,
Karch and Lina Hanley. I could barely hear it as they were having
some techincal difficulties.

Thanks Unca Nick for the heads up on their camps!
I'll definitely have to watch one of them take place!

See ya pal,
JC
