5/17/2008 - Lobsterpolluza
Lobsterpolluza™ is an annual volleyball tournament and lobster dinner benefiting the Colorado Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Program - all proceeds are donated to this non-profit organization. The tournament format is co-ed rotating pairs. You sign up with a co-ed partner and keep that partner for the entire tournament. Each co-ed team is assigned to a pool and plays one game with each of the other co-ed teams in their pool. Since this tournament is open to anyone, your first pools will have all different skill-levels and experience. Based on team record, your team can advance through the tournament with each division having a net of the “Final Four” teams to determine the winner. To cap off the weekend, there is a post-tournament party on Saturday night – including a lobster boil & dancing. We also offer other dinner options for those non-lobster lovers. Come for dinner or just for the party, which includes a raffle drawing and silent auction which also benefit the Colorado SIDS Program.
