Excuse my rant.....
Ok Everyone,
A friend of mine just told me that Molly Sims, Supermodel and TV star, played in an AVP qualifer in Huntington Beach about a month ago.

I was just wondering what everyone thought about this.....
What I want to know is....Don't you have to be invited to play in an AVP qualifier? How does someone that doesn't play tournies regularly, let alone isn't an open player, get to play in a qualifier......doesn't really seem fair, does it?
And why the heck would Amber Willey, who I don't know much about, but I do know is regular player on the tour.....partner up with Sims in a qualifier? Isn't that just asking for a beat down?

Does anyone feel that stuff like this causes the public to take the sport of beach volleyball less seriously?
