The same rules apply in the grass as in the sand except let serves are not legal, there are no antennas and the courts are full size.
We also recommend those waiting to get into the Friday sand tournaments to consider Men's and Women's Grass Doubles on Friday as an alternative.

The campgrounds are headed back to the same property as in the past, but with a new layout. Parking will be at the new property which allows us more room for camping at the old grounds.

Open Divisions: If you don't have a history of playing in our Open divisions or other pro or open tournaments, you do not qualify for these Open Sand tournaments. We need to be strict with this because space is so limited. The tournament directors will reject or move teams if necessary. Men: due to the popularity of this division we are making all interested teams register for the waitlist so we can approve qualified teams as they come in.

May 23, 2018 - Camping Registration is Open
Camping registration for the 2018 Waupaca Boatride Volleyball Tournament is now open.
Camping is a cheap alternative to hotels as it's one flat price for the whole weekend versus a per night rate. The campground is located right across the street from Brighton Acres and all of the festivities.
There are three types of campsites that you can register for: a 20x40 foot regular site ($65 for the weekend), a 20x40 foot family/quiet site ($65 for the weekend) and a 40x40 foot RV/double site ($115 for the weekend).
Note:
The 2018 campgrounds will be on a different property this year (see below). Due to wet weather conditions, we've been unable to work on or map the new grounds yet, which means we can't allow people to choose their own site locations. Sites will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. If you need to organize sites with others, please try to register on the same day and use the Notes section to let us know who you want to be near. We will do our best to group sites together.
Once we have a detailed campground map completed, we will email site number confirmations to people that have registered. We should have the map finished by the end of June.
