Portland to host NAGVA tournament in March

Volleyball news just keeps coming and coming!

We have no deetz regarding the volleyball tournament yet but we just got a word from Facebook that after missing the Triple Tiara series, Portland Gay Volleyball will hosting a NAGVA sanctioned tournament before the end of the season on March 26-27, 2011.

Portland Gay Volleyball hosted their first Last Chance last year to give chance to players/teams on getting the core 4 for the Portland NAGVA Championships in 2010 (Houston for this year). We will try and get as much information and update all of you as soon as we get the deetz!

MORE MORE MORE Volleyball!!!

North America Outgames got Volleyball!!!

HELL YAH!!!

We were really disappointed when the Vancouver Outgames 2011 came out with their official announcement for this years Outgames NOT SHOWING any Volleyball event.

But when we checked today (thanks to my sister Cedric from Vancouver) there are some MAJOR MAJOR changes with their events and added Volleyball to their roster!

The Vancouver Outgames is from July 25-31 with a guaranteed of 6 games (only?). You can check on the rules and regulations are based on NAGVA ratings but 2 players can play down in each team with the rest of the team playing on their designated rating. The games will be held at Harry Jerome (where the Vancouver NAGVA is held) with AM and PM schedule for all divisions. Pretty small venue for Outgames ut hopefully it all works out.

To get more details, check on the Vancouver Outgames Volleyball 2011 website!

Who wants to play?

Thinking of playing and super excited!

Sheona Traylor Buzz - San Jose tournament 2011

Our dear friend from the Bay area Sheona Traylor took time to write for ChaCha BUZZ to give us details for the upcoming San Jose NAGVA tournament. I've been going to the San Jose tournament for couple of years now and it never disappoints and certified go to tournament. Check out what Sheona got to say ...

Howdy Y'all...

Well hot damn, looks like another year has already blown past us and another NorCal Vball Classic is here! This is the 24th year San Ho-say is holding its annual President's Day Weekend tourney (although some years we've had to move it due to gym snafoos!).

Here's a couple of highlights and reminders from Sheona Traylor, unofficial spokes whitetrash for the SJ TRANNYment this year. (I'm not affiliated with SBVBC, i'm just a nosey bitch with lots of insider information!)

The AA division has officially been canceled and the spots snatched up faster than my Cousin/Aunt offerin' free Bud Light at the family reunion! Guess them girls don't know how to commit to and pay for a great tournament on time! There are now 7 B teams, 15 BB teams, and 14 A teams.

This year pool play will be split between 2 venues. The BB division plays on Saturday at the Foothill College small gym (our usual venue) and the A and B divisions will be at the brand new Arrillaga Gym in Menlo Park. BOTH DIVISIONS WILL PLAY AT FOOTHILL COLLEGE ON SUNDAY FOR ELIMINATION ROUNDS! Plan accordingly. Lunch will be served at both venues Saturday and also at Foothill College on Sunday. REMEMBER, Parking at Foothill College is $2.00 and is enforced at all times. (Parking at Arrillaga is free)

No t-shirts this year. I've got enough yellow stained wifebeaters to go around for y'all. Instead they're giving out some water bottles. You can use those to fill up on the ice cold water stations around the venues... or if you're like Sheona, you'll be fillin them bitches up with some ice cold bud light! mmmmkurrrrrr?

Like last year, SJ will be givin Green Backs again this year too. If your entire team registers (between 7-10pm at the Motif Club in downtown San Jose on Friday night), you will be entered into a drawing to receive your ENTIRE TEAM FEE BACK! Not a bad idea to get everyone down there and sloppy drunk while registering too!

The host hotel for SJ this year is the Fairmont. It is a beautiful historic hotel right in downtown SJ. Looks like the rate is $99.00/night.  (the Traylor Park is full and there is no room at Sheona's NO-tell HO-tell up in SF, so keep your eyes peeled if you can't swing that hotel cost! There are some more affordable hotels near the venue, but nothing within walking distance to plan for a short cab ride or a rental car)

Finally, and most importantly, get your damn rosters complete and get your individual NAGVA fees paid if you havent done that already. It's cheaper to do it all ahead of time. Also if you add an 8th (or more) players, its cheaper to do it on PayPal ahead of time than it is if you show up and they make Sheona chase you down with her shotgun to pay those extra team fees! Also make sure you have a certified Referee and Scorekeeper on your roster! This is a requirement of all teams!  If you need to get set up with that, email officials@nagva.org and talk to my gurrrrrl Johanthan Daclison the VP of Officials. She'll send you a link to take the test. The study material is available on the NAGVA website under the Documents and Forms link.

If you have any problems with getting your team rosters set up (cuz you a dumb ho like that), email my friend Jonny Sloan and he can help you with that stuff. He's a know-it-all biznatch and lurves helping people with that stuff.

Cya in a month kiddies!

Much Lurve from the Traylor Park,

Sheona

Thanks Sheona! Mwah!

"Play every point as if it were championship point"

The "Speak in English" Yellow card

We already have a Red Card record from the Seattle tournament and now we got the Yellow Card record from New Orleans.

I posted on ChaCha BUZZ Facebook page last week about a Yellow card incident that happened in New Orleans and now we got the deetz for you guys coming from an not so anonymous "anonymous" sender.

So this is what went down ...

Atlanta Pressure was playing Seattle Battle Cattle. It was the second set of the game about half way through the match. A player from Pressure was disgruntled over the fact he felt that lifts and doubles were not being called. He began making racial comments saying "We call that a lift in America" or "In America we play by these rules" was also quoted using some spanglish. His team called a time out. That is when the same player said under his breathe implying that the upref should learn how to play the way we do in America. He received a yellow card. He inquired as to why he received it. While he was trying to explain it to him, he interrupted the up ref stating "Can you speak english please, how do you expect me to understand you!" Shortly after a member of Pressure was visibly upset with his teammates actions. A younger member of their team began defending the team that was officiating and attacking his teammate over his pour and immature behavior. The argument was very loud and was heard for all to hear. Pressure ended up losing their match against Battle Cattle.

In all fairness this player was spotted apologizing to the officiating team (up ref from the Puerto Rico team and others)that he offended and most especially to his team after the whole thing happened.

Hopefully we keep NAGVA a happy place where we see friends and have friendly competition.

... the said yellow card holder is a Regional Commisioner. We don't see him running another tournament at least for the rest of the season. Right, Donald Trump?

Video: NOLA Experience

This pretty much explains how fun our NOLA experience was. A lot of walking around the city, a lot of drinking, a lil bit of volleyball (LOL!) and more drinking and partying.

You have to watch upto the very end! Juz sayin! Enjoy!

Jafar's Tranny cousin

One of the most hated Disney villain was spotted down in SoCal over facebook.

Nobody probably knows but Jafar has a tranny cousin who is total opposite of of the Jafar we grew up watching.


Jafar-INA Montecarlo is one of the sweetest gurl we know and a natural comedian.

According to reports, Aladdin will have another sequel featuring Jafar-INA. She will be playing Jafar's sweet and trannylicious cousin who tries to steal Aladdin from Princess Jasmine. Would she prevail and capture Aladdin's heart?

We shall see!
