Queen Vicki Final notes and info

An email came out to team reps (thanks sis for forwarding) March 18 about the final info for this weekends Queen Vicki 2012 tournament. The new location and a good amount of turn out makes us really excited.

From the looks of it, the schedule is pretty staggered for all divisions but we are by complaining. Trevor Frasier, the tournament director did an amazing job already putting this together for all of us participating.

Hello Team Reps!

Welcome to Queen Vicki 2012 – the tournament is just a week away! Sorry you’re getting this twice – just noticed the bottom of the email was cut off. Please pass along this email to all your team mates – it’s really long, so my apologies. It contains all the info you’ll need to know for the tournament. Pool play schedule will be sent out Monday night and posted online at www.vgva.com

Registration @ Junction Pub
6:30 to 10:00 pm – NAGVA registration – sign your waiver and pay NAGVA player fees (if required); 2 lines will be set-up – an express line for those who don’t need to pay fees and a payment line. Save some time and money, make sure your individual fees are paid online before the tournament – online deadline March 19.

Late Registration and Captain’s Meetings @ Richmond Oval
Players can register at the venue. We encourage as many players to register on Friday night to prevent delays on Saturday morning. Division Pool Play start times will be staggered, so Late Registration will be available at staggered times as well:
7:45 am to 8:10 am – BB Division; followed by the Captain’s Meeting at 8:10 am
9:15 am to 9:40 am – B Division; followed by the Captain’s Meeting at 9:40 am
12:15 pm to 12:40 pm – Modified A/AA Division; followed by the Captain’s Meeting at 12:40 pm

Seeding Party @ Celebrities
9:00 pm to ???? – seeding placements and first round of play will be announced at 9:30 pm at the club and also posted online (vgva.com) at the same time. We’ve got a special prize this year…winners from each Division in Pool Play will win a $100 bar tab at Celebrities! One stipulation, you must have at least 4 members from your team to collect the prize. If not, the prize goes to the next highest team…so be at Celebs to collect your winnings! We thought it would be a good way to get the winners a little ‘impaired’ for the next day ;)

Also we will have our annual ‘WALK-OFF’ Contest – $100 cash prize for the winner; we have some shoes but if you’re a big girl, we suggest you bring your own. It’s an easy contest – just strut your stuff to the music, Top Model style and win some money! Props and costumes are definitely welcomed but not mandatory. One entrant per team.

Post Tournament ‘Chill-lax’ Party @ 1181
Wind down at 1181 after Queen Vicki and celebrate your victories! Just come chill and relax after the tournament…

Richmond Oval Information:

Parking – park under the Oval for $1.00/hour or $10 max/day. Access the lot off River Road at the far end of the Oval. There’re other events at the Oval, so parking could be difficult. There’s overflow parking on River Road if you can’t find a spot under the Oval. I would suggest carpooling to make it easier.

Food – “The Italian Picnic” is the name of the onsite café that has a variety of sandwiches, pasta, salads and treats. They’ll be open all day. There’re also some local restaurants within a 5 min drive of the Oval.

Player’s Lounge – We have a small lounge with table and chairs for players to use to sit and enjoy their lunch. It’ll be just off the court area and will be pointed out Saturday morning.

Court Rule – Please do not take any food or sports drinks onto the courts. Water is allowed on the courts.

Map to Facility – If you require directions to the Oval, we have a map on our website, just scroll to the bottom of the tournament page: http://vgva.com/tournaments/queen-vicki/

Tournament Swag - Due to the increased cost of the new facility and cost of Officials for Sunday, we’re unable to provide any tournament swag – sorry guys! The overwhelming feedback from past years has been to move the tournament to a new venue – so we listened! Also our registration fees have decreased slightly from past years – now just one fee for up to 8 players. I hope nobody is disappointed they won’t be getting a T-shirt.

That’s everything for now. If I missed anything, feel free to email me. We’ll see everyone next weekend!

Cheers,

Update:

Pool Play Schedule

Sacramento Capital City Classic as we know it!

I don't know if we expressed enough how much fun the Sacramento Capital City Classic was. Good thing Elman (Medical volunteer and host of Registration after party) took some clips over the weekend for you to witness if you missed it.
I'll leave it to that and UBDJ (U B D Judge)!!!

Sacramento Capital City Classic 2011 shirts

This is pretty amazing.

We've gained access of the tournament shirts for the Capital City Classic NAGVA tournament this weekend and all we can say is FIIIIIEEERRRCCCEEE!

Not only the shirt is well designed in the back but the front design has a QR Code where players can use to find out their pool play schedule.

This will make it easier to access and saves the environment from printing papers.

I bet this is just one of the airports Sacramento has in store. From what we heard, the weekend is not only filled with good volleyball but well planned parties around town.

Friday registration will be held at Faces and a seeding party on Saturday at Badlands followed by a very sassy hair show.

Totally excited for the weekend and can wait to see everyone!

Vegas Baby Queen of the Night 2011

If you were not in the Vegas tournament last weekend then you missed out on seeing some Hot Tranny Mess HOT HOT HOT NAGVA Ladies!!!

Latson - Seattle, Bronson - Seattle and Leki - San Francisco went all out at registration night starting off what we see a NAGVA (at least in Vegas) trend. Leki worked hard getting the word out there for NAGVA players to dress up in any costume they want in registration night. For us, this cuts the top 3 that if they were candidates in Miss Universe, they are gonna battle it out for the title...

2nd Runner-Up - Sailor Mercury aka Grimace

Why? She didn't pick up her outfit the last minute. She decided to pick up a costume til 5:30pm on registration night. We all know that a gurl always prepares her outfit in advance to look fierce and last minute thing is not the T honey! I have to give it to her though, for a last minute outfit & hair and make-up, she looked kinda fabulosa!!! I'm glad you found your mother finally in Genie (?). And gurl, we were loving your Panda wallet! WERQ!

1st Runner-up - Dirty Nurse aka Latson

Why? Coz she didn't pick up the outfit I chose for her. She said the cleavage area is too revealing for her taste but then if she wore it she could have slammed Hooters gurl. Gurl looks good with red hair (hopefully it matches the carpet. lol) and who would say no to some purple eye shadow to give her eyes a pop. Dirty Nurse worked hard with the outfit texting ChaCha every outfit she tried on for consultation. Maybe we can share those pics if she permits! You looked Blazing Hot Latson!

And finally, our 2011 Vegas Baby Queen of the Night goes to...

Hooters Gurl!!!

This is a very well thought of outfit and fits her boobies perfectly!!! She looked FIERCE and convincing that she works/worked and is the QUEEN of HOOTERS. Miss Thang joined the contest at Charlie's for the Most Butch Outfit and Gurl won the title as well. A lil back story about the outfit from what we heard is that, Leki went to Hooters in Vegas to get her Hooters Tank and this girl who works there asked what size she wants and probably pre-judging her with her built. Leki ordered a bigger size when this lady said, "Oh Sorry. Our biggest size is Medium" HOW DARE SHE!!! Leki picks up the medium tank and made it WERQ!

 YOU GO GURL!

And that concludes our Vegas Baby Queen of the Night! We are looking forward for next years competition will be held hopefully in Championships in Vegas!!!

You got BRONDA'd!!!

There was a lot of NAGVA tournaments this weekend (Indy, Dallas and Portland) and of course I would choose to be in a PNW tournament just because I love my PNW peeps. So if you were not in Portland this weekend then you might be curious what "You got BRONDA'd" means or you were probably there and playing/watching another match.

I couldn't ask for anyone else to witness what happened but our closest friends... Sorry Grimace, I ♥ U but people cant miss this.

So who is #1 on the list that I'm thankful for that witnessed another Chronicles of the Purple Mess... My favorite guest writer in the name of Sheona Traylor...

This weekend in the Portland, you may have heard a brand new term that is taking NAGVA and the volleyball world by storm. What is this new saying? It is simply "You got Bronda'd!" Catchy, no?? What does this mean? Well, being Bronda'd or being the victim of a Bronda could take on multiple meanings. The main meaning of the term is when you believe you are being led into a good situation, but when the time comes, you got fooled and the situation is NAILZ. Generally this situation is talked up like it is going to be amazing, and it turns out to be the complete opposite. This could start off with someone telling you "oh its going to be P mary! I met this sickening player in open gym..." This could also mean when you have had high expectations for an amazing turnout at something (such as a stacked tournament team) only to have been let down. Team Trantasia got Bronda'd in San Jose before the term had even been invented!

Be wary of the Bronda, it usually leads to many tranny stink eye "if looks could kill" stares, especially on the court when the person who started the Bronda tries to play LAY-bero, as in she is found more falling over and LAYing on the court than actually passing a ball. This may also be a situation where you are convinced that what someone says will be true but they are simply trying to lure you into their trap. Such sayings as "TWO DRINKS MAREEEEEEEEE TWO DRINKS" can lead no where good.

Bye Gurl, you just got Bronda'd...

I have no clue what happened. Did she sabotage me coz she wanted to be the setter and she purposely just shanked those balls on serve receive and I end up playing Libero? Was she just really off and had at the first match of the day nerves? I've never seen her like that even when she is Ritazzz (drunk) and probably have seen her play much better when she is "two drinks" down. Gurl looked like there was no blood circulating thru her veins coz she was a very pale panda on that first match.

Love you Grimace/Panda/Brenda/Bronda...

VGVA HoMovemver One day tournament

There's been a lot of talks about Vancouver, BC's NAGVA sanctioned tourney, Queen Vicki will be moved to March (?) instead of their normal November schedule. This has been decided by the Pacific Northwest (PNW) Directors, Jared of Seattle, Sean of Portland and Trevor of Vancouver.

 

I think this is a good change for all the PNW tournaments giving it a chance for people to actually visit almost every PNW tournaments instead of having to choose one tournament due to these 3 tournaments being right next to each other (September for Seattle, October for Portland and November for Vancouver)

 

BUT! instead of hosting their normal Queen Vicki NAGVA tournament, VGVA (Vancouver Gay Volleyball Association) is hosting a One day Tournament on November 5 from 8-6pm, the HoMovember Classic.

 

Sign up on their matchmaker if you are interested to play!

For more details, please visit VGVA website. Partial proceeds will go to the Movember Campaign.

VOILA Ultra Modified

We love this kind of teaser videos!
Voila (Volleyball Organization of Los Angeles) lead by Godo posted this on their fb page just recently and we are loving it!
VOILA Ultra Modified is basically just like playing a NAGVA Modified A/AA tournament so it should be good volleyball. VOILA has been running a lot of tournaments in SoCal per request of members and of course the dedication of its Board Members to be able to provide quality volleyball to their community.
I've only been to one of their tournaments but its definitely worth attending and playing for. 
This time, the TOP TEAM (sorry vers bottoms lol) will win $1,000 and bragging rights. Cash prizes and volleyball? Why not?
VOILA Ultra Modified is scheduled on December 2nd and 3rd so SAVE THE DATE!!!
