King and Queen of the Beach crownedThe fourth Timeout Beach Series event took place last Saturday at the DTS Beach Arena, Windhoek.
The Red Bull Interpack was the third time a competition was held at the DTS Beach Arena this year, after the huge success of the Vita Juice Mixed Grand Slam in April and Word Press Namibia Winter Classic in June 2016.
The format for the King and Queen tournament is to enter as an individual athlete and play with several partners to find the best all-round beach volleyball athlete.
The tournament had five categories, four for the two-a-side beach volleyball: men, women, legend men and legend women; and the ever-popular mixed social four-a-side.
The 45 athletes and seven teams weren’t just playing for becoming the Red Bull Interpack King and Queen champions, they were also fighting for prizes totalling N$6 000, sponsored by Red Bull Interpack.
In the four-a-side category, seven teams battled it out in a round-robin format to try and reach the finals.
At the end of the pool stages, the top four teams crossed over for the semi-final with Dunes, Spikoholics, Phoenix Y and Phoenix O all comfortable coming through their pool games with at least four wins each.
The Timeout Beach Volleyball Series 2016 makes its last stop of the year at the Mole Beach, Swakopmund for the FabuPharm Swakop Masters on 22 and 23 October.
