PLEASE NOTE: The weather forecast indicates a chance of rain on Sunday. The event is rain or shine! We’ll be out there even if it’s raining, and hope you will too!

******************************************************

We’re doing the second of a pair of mixed beach hat tourneys on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, on the south edge of Santa Monica beach (where Marine St. turns into Barnard Way, i.e. where beach league is played).  We’ll have lined fields, scoreboards, water and ice, an orange juice press and oranges, a massage table where you can work your friends’ kinks out for them, some pizza or other food after the finals, and prizes for the winners, all on us (LA Throwback).

Part I was announced as 5×5 mixed, but we ended up playing 4×4 and having a great time…so Part II is going to be 4×4 mixed as well. Each team will have a maximum of nine players. We are planning for each team to play 3 games to 11 and one game to 13 (last game of the day, the playoffs!).

Registration for Part II (Sunday May 26) is free at if you sign up by Friday May 24.  If you don’t register by then, it’ll be $10 when you get there, with the money going go toward the pizza (or other food) we’ll be serving late in the day. (If you pre-register and then can’t make it, please let us know). Register here.

This will be a TRUE random draw tourney. All the names will go into two hats (one for men, one for women). We’ll pick the male and female captains for each team, and they’ll take turns drawing from the hats. No segregation by skill or experience, and no baggage…a literal free-for-all, with one exception: total newbies will be distributed evenly among the teams.  Your name goes in the hat when you show up. Anyone arriving after teams have been chosen will get assigned to a team. There will be a fixed genzone on each field and the woman captain of the team starting the point in the genzone will select the number of women playing that point.

Please be there by 9:30 am so first games can start at 10:00 am. We’ll finish up around 3 pm.

Look forward to seeing you out there!
