Rules & Responsibilities

OUR PLAYERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BEING RESPECTFUL AND INFORMED PARTICIPANTS AT TOURNAMENTS. THIS MEANS:


Show up on time​: Unless informed otherwise, all tournaments start at 9am and may go all day. Be prepared to show up by 8:30am to check in and warm up, and to stay as long as you remain a part of the tournament. This includes your reffing responsibilities.

Know the rules​: You can review the rulebook here or by clicking the link below. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask a Tournament Director, the CBVA office, or even a more experienced player! The best way to learn the rules is to get out and play. We’ve all got to learn sometime, so please be thoughtful teachers and gracious students.

Play fair & don’t forget to ref: We all want to win! Play hard, but play fair to preserve the integrity game. You must fulfill your duty to ref - this can include ​*after*​ your final loss in playoffs. Remember that the refs are not professionals but players doing their best.

Respect all CBVA players, staff, and spectators​: We are a great group of athletic, competitive, beach-loving people with a passion for beach volleyball and a wide range of skill levels and experience. Please be respectful of everyone in our community.


By becoming a CBVA member, you are agreeing to uphold the CBVA Code of Conduct, as described by the Responsibilities above and according to the CBVA rulebook. Violations and/or 'Misconduct' (see Rulebook, Article 22) may result in sanctions at the discretion of the CBVA.
