The tournament is open to CBVA members, but please only sign up if you know 5-1. Each player signs up individually and teams will be created prior to the tournament. The Valentine’s Day Scramble is a great opportunity for new and returning members to get involved with tournament play. Knowledge of 5-1 and 6-2 rotations is required for the tournament.
Sign-ups for the tournament will open this Thursday, February 1st at 6:00 PM on TeamArrange under the Tournaments tab. The tournament will be capped at 54 players so make sure to sign up early if you are interested in playing. The tournament will run from as early as 8:00AM and as late as 5PM on that day depending on how far your team advances, so please make sure you are available for the entire day of play before signing up.
One change to our sign-up protocol: In an effort to address the second major epidemic in Boston (a Middle shortage), we will be offering a separate sign-up for players who are open to playing middle for the tournament. As an added incentive, if you sign up to play middle, we will offer you a $7 CBVA credit for one free session!
Under the tournament tab, you will see a sign-up for middles only with 18 spots available. This tournament will not include liberos, so middles play all 6 rotations. In addition, we will have 36 open spots for a mix of pin hitters and setters. If you are open to playing middle for tournament, please sign up for that position in TeamArrange!
More information on this tournament and all the rest of our tournaments for this year will be shared soon. Looking forward to another great season of tournaments. Please reach out to me directly with any questions!
Tournament Fees:
- $30 per player*
*Middles get an additional CBVA session credit as an incentive to sign up
