Bumpin' Bums

The "Beach Bums" are our Rec division champions, dominating the league from start to finish. They'd finish with a 7-2 record after securing the first championship spot with relative ease. They did hit a bit of a losing skid midway through the season dropping two in a row, but got back on schedule in time for the championship game.

Unlike our A division, this championship game was no contest as the "Beach Bums" swept "Spikes on the Beach" 2-0 while winning by a large margin in both games. It helped that their opponent only had four players all night, and by the time the championship rolled around those four were probably a bit tired thanks to the heat. Still, the "Beach Bums" didn't get overconfident, pouncing on every opportunity to build early leads. That plus their great service game led to their convincing wins last night.

Congratulations to the "Beach Bums", as they are able to add a Sand Volleyball title to their mantle!

Blasting the Competition

The "Sand Blasters" are our Thursday volleyball A Division champs thanks to a comeback win! After dropping the first set in a tight back and forth affair they rallied to win the final two sets. That includes a whopping 21-9 blowout in the game-deciding 3rd set to make them the winners!

Throughout the season a bit of a rivalry formed between "Sand Blasters" and their championship opponent "Practice Safe Set", with both teams getting the best out of each other. Before our championship game the two teams faced off with a finals birth on the line for "Sand Blasters; win and they're in, lose and their season would be over. With that in mind "Sand Blasters" came out strong, winning the first two sets in that final regular season game to ensure their championship birth.

With fatigue possibly setting in after having played a full match already, the Sand Blasters dropped the first set in the championship, though it was a close one. They would regroup though, winning by a decent margin in game two while the unforced errors began to pile up for "Practice Safe Sets". On the other side of the net "Sand Blasters" got stronger as the night went on, finding a great offensive rhythm to go along with some fantastic team defense. When all was said and done, it was a 2 set to 1 victory for them. Congratulations to "Sand Blasters" on a terrific season!

How are Standings Calculated?
Winners receive 2 points, each team in a tie receives 1 point, and losers receive 0 points. If you forfeit, you lose a point, so don't forfeit! Plus, two forfeits make your team ineligible for playoffs.

Teams are ranked by (1) Ranking Points, (2) Head to Head Two Teams Only*, (3) Point Differential, (4) Coin Toss.

Head to Head is only used if there are two teams tied. Ties involving 3+ teams disregard H2H and move on to point differential for the tiebreaker.
º Forfeits
Parenthesized numbers indicate wins or losses by forfeit.
When calculating Ranking Points, forfeits may be weighted differently than normal wins and losses.
