Join us in Croyde for our fifth round of the Southwest Series 2024! This round is a little different, as it is part of the multi-sports beach festival at the Goldcoast Oceanfest. There will be beach soccer, footvolley, beach netball and lots more going on, plus the music festival up on the hill! You can get tickets for the festival here.
Format
Saturday is a Fun 4’s Fancy Dress Tournament. This is a charity event where all the proceeds will go to a mental health charity. Entry costs £40 per team (£10 per person).
Sunday is Mixed Pairs. This is not a UKBT event, so you don’t need a UKBT membership to enter. Our mixed events are fun and friendly. Depending on entries we may do a cup and plate competition. Players of all levels are welcome.
On Sunday we also have a Junior tournament running alongside our Mixed tournament. Our Junior tournaments are fun and friendly and aimed at beginners / improvers. We will run a scramble tournament, where you play with lots of different partners. You enter as an individual.
On Monday we are playing casually at the beach or the village green-we will let you all know on Sunday what the plan is.
Refereeing. The pool stages are self-refereed. The knockout games are refereed by other teams. We provide whistles, scoreboards etc.
SW Series points. Players earn points at every Southwest event they enter. These points are used to seed the mixed events and count towards qualification for the Southwest Finals. This year’s ranking index is built from your previous Southwest Series event results and will be the sum of your best four results from the season. You can see your current ranking here.
Who is this Event For?
Our Southwest Series events are designed to be accessible to players of all levels. We guarantee everyone 5 games and we pride ourselves and our community on being open, friendly and warm. It’s perfect for new players to try out playing a tournament! After pool play we split teams off so that you always play teams of around your level in the afternoon.
