Dinner choices are Tri-tip steak or Salmon, both served with veggies and all the good stuff (Please contact us concerning any special arrangements for vegetarians and children - there will be a separate menu and price or additional kids' dinners - info to come).

Banquet tickets are $45 if paid if paid with late registration.

Drinks: Some nonalcoholic drink options are provided with dinner. For drinkers of legal age, alcoholic drinks can be purchased individually at the bar, or you may buy a drink wristband for $40 which grants access to open bar for 4 hours at the banquet. The bar will stock a variety of liquors, beer, and wine.

Tournament Play
Divisions: Open and Mixed. The Mixed division has the requirement that each team have at least 3 female players in the water at all times. Trophies will be awarded to the top teams in each division. Round Robin play will start at 9am Friday and continue on Saturday. Playoffs will be held Sunday. Since we have only one playing surface, we will schedule play in blocks so that each division plays either in the morning or the afternoon, leaving the other half of the day for players to take advantage of the beach or other nearby San Diego attractions (see below).

Pool
The Plunge, located right on the beach next to the roller coaster in Mission Beach
The pool is 6ft deep with a fast tiled bottom.

In addition, the pool requires that players use the front door to enter the
premises (but may leave by the glass doors in the pool area), do not block any emergency exits with gear/themselves, eat only in the area behind the low wall on the pool deck, and do not bring alcohol or glass containers into the pool area.

Captains' Meeting
The captains' meeting will be conducted via email in the week preceding the tournament. Make sure at least one representative from your team has sent an email to this address to be included in the list for that more specific information.

Any communication, questions, rsvps, etc can be sent to the committee at: pccs2007@gmail.com

San Diego Attractions

The Beach - Seriously, it's less than a hundred yards from the pool. Try surfing, boogie boarding, swimming, sand castles... you know how beaches work.
There are rides, a roller coaster, shops, etc. right next to the pool.

Wavehouse - Surf permanent waves in the same building as the Plunge. They mentioned a deal for people in our group but we still need to check into that.
