Running a beach volleyball tournament

Pairs and courts

Beach volleyball is played in pairs on a 16 × 8 metre court. Venues usually have 2 to 4 courts, and a best-of-three match to 21, with a deciding set to 15 if needed, takes about 35 to 50 minutes.

Shorter matches in the groups

With 16 or more pairs, the group stage is often played as a single set to 21, with best-of-three sets only in the knockout stage. Matches are shorter and the tournament fits into one day.

Heat and rest

Matches are played in the sun and the sand gets hot during the day. Set each pair's minimum rest to at least one match length, and the schedule will enforce it. Make sure there is water and shade by the courts.
