I have been playing beach doubles tournaments almost every weekend this year, and it is far from dying. Actually it is the healthiest that I have seen it in 5 years or so. Wayne who runs GAV has had around 200 teams at many events. 200!!! that is a big tournament. Rich Heiles of EEVB has had the best turnouts of open level teams on Long Island that I have ever seen. 29 mens open one tourney and 25 at another in Long Beach. I played in the AVP qualifier in Seaside and there were probably 8 local teams playing in that. The EVP event in Long Beach was a little light on entries, but at the same time on the same day there were tournaments in Long Beach(EEVB), Point Pleasant(EEVB), Atlantic City(GAV), Ocean City(Toyota), and a few guys went to the Chicago AVP to play as well. It sure sounds like things are healthy from my perspective.
P.S. - Borga ran himself into the ground. Thats why Wayne is doing so well, because the players are still here.
