EEVB is now accepting registrations for the 2009 Beach
Volleyball Season at Cedar Beach, Long Beach & E Quogue.
We expect a number of the leagues to fill up again this
summer. PLEASE BE SURE TO GET YOUR REGISTRATION IN EARLY TO INSURE YOU CAN PLAY
ON YOUR CHOSEN NIGHT
New for 2009:
1.
All players must be members of AVPNext, the grass roots
organization of the AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour. The $10 membership fee helps
promote beach volleyball and helps with insurance coverage for the events.
Everyone was supposed to be a member every year. We have gone on an honor
system in the past trusting that players obtained their membership and emailed
their # to us on the team roster. Some players have taken advantage of this so
we will now require that every team have a completely filled out roster
including AVPNext #s before they will be placed on the schedule
2.
Complete info to start the registration process
is online at http://www.eevb.net/leagues.htm.
Once teams are pre-registered they will be listed on the standings page for
their respective leagues. New on the standings page will be 3 columns showing
the following info:
a.
Entry fee payment
b.
Roster received
c.
All members have AVPNext #s.
d.
Teams will not be placed on the schedule until
all 3 columns are checked.
3.
Teams that want to pay with credit cards can do
so online through Active.com. EEVB will not be taking any credit card entries
directly this year. Go to http://www.active.com/myevent/ed_events.cfm?CHECKSSO=0&USER_ID=3256574

this season. Let me know if you have trouble downloading the roster from the
web site.

player. This will help speed up t-shirt distribution on t-shirt night. Remember
that the best way to get your teams’ shirts is to have at least one

REMEMBER THAT IT IS THE WINNING CAPTAINS RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU
CIRCLE YOUR WINS ON THE RESULTS SHEET. Also double check at the end of the
night that the results are correct. If a game is not played due to darkness
please put a line through the schedule to indicate that. If you make any
changes please initial the change so that we know who to ask if it is
questioned. Results are updated weekly so that you can check them. If you see a

All league players can join any EEVB weekend doubles

player’s try it last season and they all seemed to have a lot of fun.

evening player’s party including 2 complimentary beers and food. Not bad
for $10.
