Depending on the type of tournament you're running and the purpose of the tourney, there's actually quite a bit involved in putting a tournament together.\n\nSome key things you need to consider before even approaching the volleyball court are:\n-What format are you going to play?  doubles, quads, sixes?\n-Are you running mens, womens, coed or reverse coed?\n-Is the tournament going to be grass, sand, indoor or pool?\n-Are you offering prizes?\n-Do you plan to feed the contestants?\n-Why are you holding the tournament?  If its for fun, ask for donations to pay for the food/drink.  If its for a charity, ask them what they're fund raising goal is and then figure out your entry fee from that.\n\nIf you're just playing for fun with friends and family, its pretty simple . . . pick a date, tell people what to bring, pick a court and go have fun.\n\nIf its a charity or club event, you'll have to do quite a bit more planning.  You'll need the event sponsors (the charity that hired you to run the event, plus any businesses that may wish to sponsor the tourney).  You'll need to find a place to host the event.  How many courts do you have?  The fewer number of courts you have, the fewer number of teams your tournament can efficiently support.  If you're playing indoors you may need special permission to use the facility or have to go through special "usage rights" classes to host events there.  If you're playing in a park, you may need to clear it with the parks and recreation department or whoever owns/operates the park (grass or sand).  Once you get permission to use the courts you'll have to think about providing those courts, particularly outdoors.  Some parks may have a few sand/grass nets available, but in order to run larger tournaments you'll need to provide additional nets (more common with grass tourneys).  (I know some tournaments ask registrants to bring nets for a discounted entry fee.)\n\nOnce you have the permissions and courts issue figured out its just a matter of determining the format (may need this before you get sponsors and permissions), working with your sponsors, advertising your event (flyers, newspapers, online groups, league night announcements, radio . . .), designing/ordering prizes and/or shirts, figuring out how much help you'll need to run the event and lining that up.  You'll also need to determine how play will be handled.  Will it be round robin pool play followed by a single or double elimination bracket?  Will it be a straight elimination thing?  The number of courts you have may dictate which of these you go with.  \n\nThe day of the event will be relatively chaotic, but being prepared goes a long way towards running a smooth event.  Do as much of the leg work as you can before the day of the event, so that when you get to the event you're ready to start pool play or the tournament itself.  Be there early.  I can't stress how important it is to be to the site early to get things ready to go.  I can't tell you how many tournaments I've gone to where the event organizers that showed up 5 minutes before play was supposed to begin (or even late).  Being there early allows you to get the stuff done that you won't have time to worry about close to start time (signs, trash cans, court setups, etc).\n\nThere can be a lot of behind the scene stuff going on or there can be minimal stuff happening.  It all depends on the size of your tournament and what the purpose is.  By no means is this list inclusive of everything that has to happen to pull off a great event, but it should be a starting point to give you some ideas about the stuff that has to be done.

A good foundation for most of the drills I use is the circle drill. A coaches tosses the ball to a passer, the ball is passed to a catcher who hands the ball off to the coach. The passer becomes the catcher, the catcher moves to the line to become the passer. Most volleyball teams use a similar format. This keeps the players involved in the drill and you don't have to chase balls.\n\nWith the foundation of the circle drill, you can practice other skills. \n - receiving: 3 players ready to receive a serve. Whom ever picks up the serve becomes the catcher. The space is filled by the next in line.\n - communication: two players standing in the middle of the court. When signaled the sprint to the sideline and return to pick up a tossed ball without banging into each other. Calling out the ball is necessary. Use circle drill foundation.\n - ball control/hand-eye coordination: Using circle drill, have the players pass the ball back to themselves. Bump the ball in the air but they must clap 5 times (spin around, whatever) and catch the ball before it lands.\n\nThere are numerous drills. The key is to correct before bad habits are formed. Good Luck!

there are sixx\n\nif ur runninf a 4-2\n\nleft back is a passer, middle back is a passer, and right back is a server.\nright front is a hitter, middle front and left front are both hitters\n\nif ur running a six-2 and not a 4-2, and you have first serve,\n\nright back is a server, then runs up and becomes a setter. middle back is a passer, and left back is a passer.\n\nright front is a 5 hitter, or will back up and become a passer. middle front is a \nhitter along with right front.\n\nhope that clears it all.

if you mean volleyball...\nin a serve recieve the main idea is to get 3 players in the backrow to "dig" the serve, 2 hitters up along the net so they can be ready to drop back to hit, and the setter in some spot on the court that he/she can get to the target position (front-left up against the net) quickly\n\nthe catch is that there are rules about rotation so that each of the six players on the court cannot be to left of the person to their left(in base position), to the right of the person to their right (in base position), or in front of the person in front of them/ behind the person to the rear of them(also in base position).\n\nhope that answers your question.

I can't speak about on line games, but carom tables can be found if you know where to look.  In my home town, there are four pool halls.  Two of them have one carom table each.  I'm going to be competing in a straight pool tournament this weekend at one of these pool halls, and I noticed some of the other literature.  This pool hall has a three-cushion league and an upcoming three-cushion tournament.  We are actually kind of lucky to have choices like that for a city my size.  Snooker, however just hasn't caught on here.  I wouldn't say that you could call either carom games or snooker games "popular" in this part of the Midwest.  Still, there will always be a loyal following for these other cue sports.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

Its a combination.\n\nPhase 1: 8 groups with 4 teams each. Each team has a match with another team in same group. Wins and Draws gets points.\n\nPhase 2: Two teams with most points from each group qualify for the quarter finals. Here, no points. Loser gets KO of the tournament. Winners go to semis and then to the finals.

It depends on the game you are playing, but there are two very popular games played on the standard pool table.  Eight ball features15 balls one being the black eight ball, seven solids and seven stripes.  The object is to sink all of your balls (either solid or stripes) in any of the six pockets before sinking the eight ball.  A player may continue shooting until he misses a ball.  If a shot cannot be made, then it is to the players advantage to "hook" his opponant leaving the cue ball in a spot where a shot is difficult or impossible, thus regaining control of the game.\n\nNine ball is played with the balls numbered 1 through 9.  The object is to sink each ball in numerical order, sinking the nine ball last.  Each ball is worth one point, the nine is worth two.  In competative pool, players have to reach a certain number of points before their opponant. In tournament play it often goes by games won-like the first to win eleven games, as opposed to recording points.  A player may win the game early if they sink the nineball using the numbered ball they are hitting.  For example if I am shooting the one ball, I can hit the one into the nine and pocket it, winning the game.  Strategy is important in nineball, along with cueball control.  It is a great game to play to practice banking, hooking, and cueball control.\n\nBesides these two games there are other variations that can be found, and many bars have their own house rules. In an unfamiliar place it is a good idea to check what the rules are before play.

Usually you split it into two divisions with four in each division. Each team plays the other seven teams once or twice (that's good for 7 or 14 weeks) then you start a playoffs. 1st plays 4th, 2nd plays 3rd in both divisions. Then you have a divisional final and then a championship final. You should have consolation rounds as well for the teams that lose out in the first round of the playoffs.

If at all possible set up two flights of teams: "A" flight for the better ones and "B" flight for the rec players. Team 1 plays 2 and 3 plays 4...winners play each other and losers play each other..that settles out 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th...given enough fields the tourney can last a day if not you can teach the kids it is as important to cheer someone on as it is to be a player yourself.

I've seen two different setups that have worked really well.\n\nFirst one was called "The Loop" at my home course.  Everyone just goes out and plays their own ball, and then turns in their scorecards at the end of the round.  The players were divided into two pools - the A pool had all the guys who shot around 80, the B pool was the 110 shooters, in your case - and the scorecards are drawn so every A player is matched with a B player.  From there, it's the team's best ball on the hole vs. the field for skins.  Everyone plays hard because they don't know who their partner is until the end of the round...\n\nNow, if the teams have to be known in advance, try alternate shot.  Whoever drives on the first hole drives on all the odd-numbered holes; the partner drives on all the evens.  Automatic two-stroke penalty if someone hits twice in a row (including knocking in that three-inch putt after missing the five-footer).  Just make sure the teams involve one low and one high handicapper, or else it'll get ugly quick.
