WHOEVER HOLDS THE LONGEST WALL SIT WILL BE #1 SEED AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. IF YOUR BOAT CREW DOES NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE WALL SIT CHALLENGE, THEN THEIR SEEDING WILL BE DONE OUT OF THE HAT.
THE WOMEN'S CHART WILL END WITH THE WINNING WOMEN'S BOAT CREW (4 WINNERS).
THE MEN'S CHART WILL END WITH THE WINNING MEN'S BOAT CREW (4 WINNERS).
THE RULEZ:
At the start of a match, a coin flip will decide who gets the following options:
If you win the coin toss you can elect to serve first in all of the games throughout the entirety of the match. However if you choose this option, you need to declare your pairings before the opposing team declares their pairings. This means the opposing team would have a strategic advantage of picking their pairings that can best defeat your pairings.
You can declare any combination of a doubles team for the start of each game as long as for the first two games all 4 players on the Boat Crew play. For the tie breaker game, any two players on a Boat Crew can start the game. Example given:
Hypothetical Boat Crew A...
Dave, Gregg, Chris Ortiz and Steve Nice Guy
vs
Hypothetical Boat Crew B...
Paul, Shawn, Danny Serrano and Charlie Fire.
Paul wins the coin toss, chooses not to serve first, and makes us declare our pairings first.
We declare for the first game:
Dave and Steve Nice Guy
We declare for the second game:
Gregg and Chris Ortiz
We declare for the "if needed" tie breaker game:
Dave and Gregg
Paul then declares for the first game:
Paul and Shawn
Paul declares for the second game:
Danny Serrano and Charlie Fire
Paul declares for the "if needed" tie breaker game:
Paul and Shawn
Boat Crew A (Dave, Gregg, Chris Ortiz and Steve Nice Guy) serves first every game. The match is decided when whichever Boat Crew wins two games.
SUBSTITUTIONS...
BOAT CREWZ ARE ALLOWED TO SUBSTITUTE PLAYERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME AS FOLLOWS...
DURING THE GAME, ONCE EITHER TEAM'S SCORE REACHES 10 POINTS, ONE AND ONLY ONE SUBSTITUTION WILL BE ALLOWED. Example given:
Boat Crew A
Dave and Steve Nice Guy
vs
Boat Crew B
Paul and Shawn
Paul and Shawn are up 10-0
Boat Crew A substitutes Gregg in for Steve Nice Guy
FURTHER RULEZ ON SUBSTITUTIONS...
DURING THE GAME, ONCE EITHER TEAM SCORES 15 POINTS IN THE GAME, UNLIMITED SUBSTITUTIONS WILL BE ALLOWED. Example given:
Boat Crew A
Dave and Gregg
vs
Boat Crew B
Paul and Shawn
Dave and Gregg now lead 15-10.
Boat Crew B substitutes Danny Serrano in for Paul Angel.
Both Boat Crewz can make as many substitutions as they desire from here on because the 15th point was scored.
Dave and Gregg win 21-10.
SUBSTITUTIONS ARE DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE WAY THIS WILL BE DONE IS IN THE FORM OF A WIPE WHICH IS 10 SECONDS. IF THE REF DECIDES THAT A BOAT CREW HAS TAKEN LONGER THAN A WIPE TO MAKE A SUBSTITUTION, THE REF WILL CHARGE THE BOAT CREW A TIMEOUT. IF THE BOAT CREW HAS NO MORE TIMEOUTS LEFT, THEY WILL GET A POINT DEDUCTION, GIVEN A WARNING AND BE GIVEN 10 MORE SECONDS. IF THEY STILL CAN'T DECIDE WHO IS GOING TO GET ON THE COURT, THE BOAT CREW WILL FORFEIT THAT GAME.
BOAT CREWZ ARE HIGHLY ADVISED TO HAVE A HEAD COACH TO AVOID THIS VERY ABOVE MENTIONED SITUATION FROM OCCURRING.
HOWEVER I DO WANT TO POINT OUT, WE REALIZE THIS 4 ON 4 FORMAT IS SOMETHING WE ARE NOT USED TO, HENCE WHY WE ARE ALLOWING THAT ONE WARNING WITH A POINT DEDUCTION AFTER YOU HAVE NO TIMEOUTS LEFT. IN FUTURE 4 ON 4 TOURNAMENTS, THERE WILL BE NO WARNINGS, JUST DISQUALIFICATION FOR DELAYING THE GAME. BUT SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST 4 ON 4 TOURNAMENT, WE WILL ALLOW ONE WARNING WITH A POINT DEDUCTION AFTER ALL TIMEOUTS HAVE BEEN USED. MY ADVICE IS TO USE YOUR TIMEOUTS WISELY AS PLAYER SUBSTITUTIONS I'M SURE WILL BE VERY VALUABLE IN WINNING GAMES.
WHILE WE WANT ALL 4 PLAYERS ON EACH BOAT CREW PRESENT AT THE COURT THEY'RE PLAYING ON, THEY MUST NOT BE IN THE WAY OF THE GAME. WAITING NEAR THE FENCE OR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE COURT IS PERMITTED BUT THERE SHOULD NEVER BE MORE THAN 4 PLAYERS ON THE COURT AT ONE TIME.
REGISTRATION...
THIS IS A PICK YOUR OWN PARTNERS EVENT. SO START PICKING. USE THE LIST OF SOULZ WHICH WILL BE POSTED SOON TO HELP YOU GET YOUR BOAT CREW TOGETHER. WE RECOMMEND HAVING A HEAD COACH, LET US KNOW IF YOU WILL HAVE ONE. AND NAME YOUR BOAT CREW BROTHAAA.
THE NAVY SEALZ ARE THE SOLE DETERMINING FACTOR OF WHO IS AN A PLAYER AND WHO IS A B PLAYER. MAKE SURE YOUR BOAT CREW IS REVIEWED BY NAVAL COMMAND, BEFORE ASSUMING YOUR B PLAYERS ARE GOING TO BE ACCEPTED AS B PLAYERS BY THE NAVY SEALZ.
FINAL NOTES...
THE NAVY SEALZ ARE RUNNING THIS EVENT ANY WAY WE SEE FIT. DEPENDING ON PARTICIPATION, DIVISIONS MIGHT BE CHANGED OR COMBINED, BUT FOR NOW IT WILL BE RUN AS MENTIONED ABOVE. WE WILL MAKE OUR BEST EFFORTS TO RUN A FAIR, PROFESSIONAL, ORGANIZED EVENT AS POSSIBLE. WE WILL NOMINATE AN INTERIM TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR WHILE WE ARE PLAYING IN OUR MATCHES TO ENSURE THE INTEGRITY OF THE TOURNAMENT.
WE HOPE THAT THIS UNIQUE EVENT BRINGS NEW EXCITEMENT TO THE GAME WE ALL LOVE AND WE APPRECIATE ANY OF THOSE WHO WANT TO SUPPORT...
