Personally I hate tournaments. Most beach tourneys take way too long to start playoffs after pool play is done. Why spend $25-50 to play in a tournament and have to sit for a few hours in the middle, when I can split the cost of a rental court and pay $5-10 for the day and get a lot more games in.

If there is a tournament that I DO enjoy playing in, it's the Luau held by Chuck and Rod. Since moving to the city, I don't see the people I started off playing ball with anymore. The luau is the one place in which I can. It's a huge grass tourney held in a forest preserve. A beer truck pulls up around 9am and starts serving then and food is grilled from 10am on... If I'm gonna have to sit around and wait for playoffs to start, at least they provide beer and food for me to enjoy! Plus there's usually a huge party that follows...
