We are thrilled to bring you the 2023 edition of our Cardiff Open! Following on from Welsh Grand Slams in Barry Island in 2021 and 2022, we are heading back to Cardiff this year for our top-level elite event. This is set to be an amazing exhibition of some of the best talent in the UK-and we’d love to have you join us.
The Cardiff Open is set to feature:
For those who haven’t played double elimination in a while, the concept is simple: two strikes and you’re out. It’s brutal, it’s pressure, and there’s always an upset.
However, because we are nice, we guarantee everyone 3 games. So if you go one-two barbecue (lose your first two) you will play another team who has done the same for 13th/15th.
We have opened this tournament up to 24 teams, seeded based on your UKBT ranking. We have a maximum of two wildcards that we may allocate. Wildcard applications should be sent via email to hello@fireballbeachvolleyball.com.
Entry deadline for this tournament has been extended to midnight on Friday 19th May. ENTRY IS NOW ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS. We will publish a list of confirmed entries on Saturday 20th May, based on your UKBT rankings.
Cost is £55 per team.
