Southwest Series Info and Rankings

Welcome to the Southwest Series! Running since 2021, this is the region’s premier beach volleyball series, designed to provide a high quality, accessible and welcoming playing experience for players of all levels. Read on below for more details.

Where Do We Play?

Our events take place across some of the best beaches in the Southwest: Cardiff, Exmouth, Croyde, Porthcawl, and Perranporth.

Who is the SW Series for?

Everyone! We are all about making our beautiful sport as accessible, open and as inclusive as possible. Every Southwest Series event is open to all levels, and we guarantee EVERYONE the same number of games, a warm and friendly smile when they arrive, and lots and lots of volleyball!

It’s perfect for new players to try out playing a tournament, but also for experienced players who want to play in a more competitive but friendly and well-organised event! We split teams after pool play so afternoon matches are against similar skill levels.

UKBT Events

Some of our tournaments are UKBT 2* or 3* ; others are non-UKBT. We clearly label UKBT events on our website. You can get your UKBT membership and view their calendar here.

Southwest Series Rankings

Compete in Southwest events throughout the year and earn valuable points that count towards your Southwest Series Rankings! These rankings are crucial for seeding mixed events and qualifying for the prestigious Southwest Finals, held at the end of August in Exmouth. This year, we’re crowning champions across three distinct categories: Men’s, Women’s, and Mixed. Each category has its own separate ranking, and the results at the Finals are worth double points!

How Points Work

You earn points at every Southwest event you enter. You can track your progress and see the current standings in the tables below.

Understanding Your Ranking

Total Points – Your Total Points are the sum of all points you’ve earned across all tournaments. At the end of the season, the players with the highest Total Points in the Men’s, Women’s, and Mixed Southwest Series will win a fantastic dryrobe prize!

Ranking Index – Our Ranking Index provides a fair system for ranking players for the Southwest Series Finals. This index is calculated from your best four results during the 2025 Southwest Series season. It’s used to determine your division at the Finals:

• The top 8 entries based on their Ranking Index will compete in the Elite tier for the championship title.
• All other entries will compete in the Challenger tier.
• Even if you haven’t played a Southwest Series event, you can still enter the Finals, but you’ll be placed in the Challenger division.

Seeding Index – The Seeding Index is the average of your best four results from the season. This index is used to seed players in mixed and final events, ensuring fair matchups. For the first four mixed events of the year, we’ll use a combination of the previous year’s and current year’s Seeding Index.

Schedule & Format

Typically, we host Men’s & Women’s Pairs on Saturdays and Mixed Pairs on Sundays. You are welcome to enter one or both! For most of our events, we recommend arriving at the beach by 9:00 AM for a 9:30 AM start.

A detailed schedule, including the live draw and venue information, will be sent out in the week leading up to the tournament. Please review this carefully, as event formats can vary based on entries. Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your first game!

Communication & Spond

All pre-event communication, schedule and seedings will go out through our Fireball Events Spond app. You can also use Spond to help find someone to play with and ask any questions.

This is a free app-we are asking all players to join our Spond here.

Cancellation Policy

Our cancellation policy can be found here. Our events will go on in most weathers – so please be prepared to come along! Pulling out due to rain or cold on the day will not be treated as an acceptable excuse, and you will not receive money back.

If the event is cancelled for any reason, you will receive a full refund.

If your circumstances change and you cannot attend, please let us know with 48 hours notice to receive a full refund. Between 48 hours and the event start time, you will received a half refund; after the event start time you will not receive a refund.
