The schedules for the first week of play in the Long Beach Leagues are now posted at:

·         Tuesday night: www.eevb.net/LBWedSchedule.htm

·         Wednesday night: www.eevb.net/LBWedSchedule.htm

Any team not listed on the schedule has not completed the registration procedure. They are also listed as OFF in the standings page: www.eevb.net/LongBeach09.htm

Note: By making sure that everyone has completely registered we found 6 different teams that had initially registered yet never sent in any further registration info and have since dropped out or turned out to be double registrations. In past years this would have resulted in nets with only 2 teams on the court and less playing time on the first night for the teams that registered correctly. We appreciate all team that have registered correctly and thank them for making the first night schedule run smoothly.

VERY IMPORTANT: No alcoholic beverages are allowed on the beach in Long Beach

·         The city has hired extra police to check coolers and bags as players enter the beach

·         They have also hired undercover agents and a person to video tape any alcoholic use

·         Please respect the City’s right to ask that players not bring alcohol to their beach

Additional League Info:

1.       All players should read the league manual online at www.eevb.net/leaguemanual.pdf which has league procedures and rules

2.       A rule that needs to be highlighted at the start of the year and that has been added on the schedule sheet: Players MAY NOT run onto another court, even after playing the ball. If this does happen the ball is out and a point goes to the other team. This is a safety issue and needs to be enforced.

3.       LAST LOSIGN TEAM ON A COUT AT THE END OF THE NIGHT HAS TO ROLL UP AND BRING IN THE BOUNDARY ROPE.

4.       The league starts at 6pm. We realize that players are coming from work and in rush hour traffic. Procedures for starting the night are:

a.       1^st players to arrive should spread out the boundary lines

b.      The first two teams to arrive should start playing

c.       The 3^rd team then plays the winner of the first game. Follow that schedule the remainder of the night

d.      If there are not 2 complete teams there at 6:30 the first 2 teams on the schedule must start playing even if they do not have a full team

e.      You can play with a few as 2 players in order to avoid a forfeit.

5.       The after play buffets will be at either The Inn, Minnesota’s or The Saloon. The schedule is posted online. The buffets will come out at 9:30 in the beginning of the year since games will not end until close to 9 pm. Be sure to come out every week after play to socialize with other league players.

We hope you enjoy the season.
