We are all set for another fantastic Emerald Coast Fall Classic right here on the best beaches in the world! Just as it has been for the past few years our Presenting Sponsor is the Emerald Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau. They are very supportive of all our Emerald Coast Volleyball events so whenever you think about coming to the beach (or telling anyone else to come to the beach), think of the “Emerald Coast” of Florida!

Chris, the owner of Helen Back Café on Okaloosa Island called and asked us, “Hey, where are you guys? We miss you! Come on back!” Well, we missed him too, so we are returning to Helen Back Café for our Thursday night, Warm Up party! Cold Beer! Hot Pizza! Located right on the Intracoastal Wa- terway just down the street from all our host hotels and con- dos, Helen Back is hard to beat! See you there Thursday night! SATURDAY NIGHT! After an UNBELIEVABLE Saturday night Party last fall, The Swamp management told us, “We don’t need no stinking band! Bring on the DJs! Once again DJ Roueche and DJ Chubby will be onstage to set the groove ALL NIGHT! Just remember, you still have playoffs Sunday morning! COSTUME CONTEST MOVES TO SATURDAY NIGHT! Last fall, because of weather, we moved our Costume Con- test to Saturday night. Who knew how much fun that would be! Also because of the nature of the public beach access around Center Court we restricted the Emerald Coast Volley- ball Week Costume Contest to PG rating only! Well, no problems this time! We are once again holding the Fall Classic Costume Contest at the Saturday Night Player’s Party on stage in The Swamp! DJ Roueche will be onstage to provide the vibe and, if you like, you may break out your more risqué costumes. R rating only please! No X or XX costumes allowed and PLEASE, NO animal acts! Because we are allowing an R rated Costume Contest all children under the age of 18 WILL be REQUIRED to leave The Swamp before we start at 9:00 pm. THE REALLY BIG NEWS!! Because we are moving the Thursday night party back to Helen Back, the folks at Fudpuckers on the Island said they want to put all their energies into creating the BEST Sunday Night party in history! And, in anticipation of the biggest Sunday night crowd ever, they’re expanding the party to include FudPuckeronis, Fud- Shuckers, and their BACK PARKING LOT! And, you ask, what’s a parking lot without a tailgate party? Well, we are honored to present the FIRST ANNUAL FUDPUCKER-WANNABE TAIL- GATE PARTY! You will experience for yourself the full impact of a Wannabe tailgate party WITHOUT having to actually go to an LSU game! The Wannabe RV is going to be parked behind Fud’s and there will be plenty of Volley Pong, Corn hole games and just plain fun outside in the parking lot all night long! Of course, what’s a party without great music, so DJ Roueche will be on stage setting the vibe. There will be plen- ty of cold beer and hot gumbo! And, there is a rumor that a special drink called the “Wannabe” will be offered (but no one is exactly saying what is in it). If that’s not enough, the Sunday Night NFL game featuring the Cleveland Browns vs the New England Patriots will be cranking in Fudpuckeronis on their 1,000 TV screens. DIVISION NEWS Due to the tremendous popularity of Coed here at Fuds, we are adding both Coed divisions to all of our tourna- ments. This last spring the coed divisions were by far our most popular and are really in keeping with our philoso- phy here at Fuds, “Have a good time!” Coed teams must have two men and two women. There can be two substitutes of either gender on a team, but there must always be two men and two women on the court dur- ing play. After having a full pool last spring we are going to try to have a Women’s Senior division once again this fall. All of the Old Bags, uh, women that played in the Seniors loved it and asked to bring it back again! All team mem- bers must be at least 40 years old at the time of the tourna- ment to play in Sr division and Mike will be checking ID’s! ONLINE REGISTRATION! Registration for the Fudpucker 4-Player is again online. All you have to do is go to www.emeraldcoastvolleyball.com, click on the link to the “Registration Page”, and follow the instructions!
