Jul 5, 2022 - Volleyball Life - Waivers, Check-In, Results
We are using the online tournament software called Volleyball Life for our GRASS check-ins, waivers, schedules and results. Teams will enter their own scores directly from their phones, and people can follow along from anywhere.
Update: We learned last year that there will be some phone carriers that struggle to handle the amount of people on the grounds. If you are having issues recording scores, please report them to your headquarters tent. Keeping the pool results up-to-date is very important.
Check-In: Be on the lookout for check-in emails the night before the tournament. If you do not check-in online, you must come early to check-in in person. Tournaments will not start until all teams are checked in.
Roster Changes: Please make your own roster changes by using the edit link from your team confirmation email.

May 23, 2022 - Camping Registration and Camp Store
Camping registration is open: Camping rules and details | Register Now
NEW
There will be an onsite camp store this year filled with essentials such as beer, food, ice and other items campers may have forgotten to bring.
The thought process behind the camp store is to offer people items that they would normally leave the campgrounds for. Two-way traffic, especially in the mornings with so many pedestrians, causes some safety concerns, so we are trying to minimize the need for people to leave.
Please take this 5 question survey to help us make some decisions about the store. Survey
May 15, 2022 - Waupaca Boatride Becomes an AVP Pro Tour Event
The Open Sand Division at Waupaca Boatride has been upgraded to an AVP Pro Tour event for 2022! Last year's AVP Next Gold event was a big success and the next step was to make it a Pro Tour stop. The AVP has raised the prize money purse to $50,000 and the tournament will now be a 3-day event, starting on Thursday, July 7 and ending on Saturday, July 9.
There will be a 48 team, single-elimination qualifier for men and women on Thursday, July 7, followed by a 24 team double-elimination main draw tournament starting on Friday and finishing up with the final matches on Saturday.
For those AVP players that are worried about not being able to play on Saturday in the Triples tournament, we are going to try to be as flexible as possible with the Triples Open divisions. We are only expecting a handful of players to be affected, but since there's no way to know that ahead of time, we suggest registering for both tournaments and/or using 4 player rosters. We will be lenient with last minute changes, as well as the refund policy. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Visit AVP America to register or to view more information.

Apr 21, 2021 - KO Strong
On February 18th, Kurt Officer (KO) suffered a major hemorrhagic stroke on the right side of his brain. He is on a long, slow road to recovery with his wife Katie Officer (KO) by his side. We are introducing this shirt/donation idea as a way to help Kurt and Katie with their financial burden during this recovery period.
For those that don't know him, Kurt is a director of Waupaca Boatride, and one of the reasons the tournament has become one of the best volleyball events in the world. His attention to detail and dedication to the players is the main reason the tournaments run so smoothly each year. You can show your appreciation by making a donation below, or just by sending him words of encouragement via our Contact Form.
You can preorder a KO Strong shirt here for a $25 donation or more. 100% of all proceeds will go towards Kurt's medical expenses.
Shirts can be pre ordered until mid June, and will be available for pick up at this year's Waupaca Boatride. We hope to assemble an army of people wearing the shirts at the Triples finals.
We will also make a limited amount of shirts and sizes available for purchase on the day of the event.
We are also exploring a few other fundraising options during the tournament weekend to support KO Strong. Stay tuned!
