Registration Questions
I want to play in a tournament, but registration isn't open. What should I do?
Is the price per player or per team?
Per team! Please do not double pay.
Do I really need an AVP membership to play just this one tournament?
Yes, everyone who participates must be an AVP member regardless of how many times you plan to play.
Why can't I find my partner's name when I search?
I don't have a partner. Do you have anyone interested? Can I show up without a partner and expect to play?
When does registration close?
Online registration closes at 3pm on Fridays.
You can walk on to a tournament if you arrive before check in closes.
Phone/email entries will not be accepted.

Registration Changes/Cancellations
Can you change my partner for me?
No. Log in to your AVP account and scroll down to your current events. You can edit or delete an entry there.
This must be done by 3pm the Friday before the event.
I registered, but now I can’t play. What should I do?
Email info@greatamericanvolleyball.com prior to 8am the day of the tournament.
If you do not notify on time and by email, you will be charged the walk on fee at your next tournament.
Texting a friend/staff member, sending a Facebook message and calling the GAV phone are NOT acceptable ways to notify us that you are not coming and will still result in you being charged the walk on fee at your next tournament.
Weather
It might rain. Will we still play? When will you cancel the event? Can you give me some inside information on what you might decide to do? What if I don’t want to play in this weather?
Weather is part of the game. #youwontmelt
You can assume the plan is to hold the event until you see otherwise.
The weather forecast changes often, so we will not post a cancellation until 2 hours prior to the start of an event.
We will email the current entries, along with post on Facebook and Instagram (@greatamericanvolleyball), if we decide to cancel.
If the event starts in less than 2 hours and you have not seen a weather related update, you can assume the tournament is on.
We will not respond to phone calls, texts, emails or Facebook messages about weather.
If you choose not to play, the above player cancellation policies are in effect: you must email info@greatamericanvolleyball.com by 8am if you do not plan to play to avoid paying the walk on fee at the next event.
If we do cancel prior to the start of an event, all prepaid entry fees will be refunded.
If we are forced by the beach patrol to cancel an event after play has already started, entry fees will be forfeited.
Tournament Day
Do I have to pay to get on the beach? What about parking?
There is a fee for beach access at most of our tournament locations and it is NOT included in your tournament entry fee.
Depending on how far you’re willing to walk, you can park for free at most locations. Paid parking is available closer to the tournaments.
Factor the potential walk time into your travel time.
What time is check in? What if I’m late? Can I still play?
Saturday: 8:00-8:30am.
Sunday: 8:30-9:00am.
Late arrivals cannot be accommodated.
What ball do we have to use? Can I get the new ball at the tournament?
Results
My player profile says DNMP, but I took 3rd. Can you fix this?
When will you post that photo you took of me and my partner?
I used to have 213 points, but now I only have 187! What happened to my points?
Juniors
What does the star next to the tournament mean? Why does it say this event is a qualifer?
