PUERTO ARISTA, Chiapas (05/17/2912).- With the preparation of
the main stadium and the adjacent court in Puerto Arista, all is
set for the start of the actions in the fourth stage of the
NORCECA Beach Volleyball Circuit.
In this stop, 18 men’s duos and 12 women’s duos resulting from
the Main Draw are set to compete.
The women’s division will play the first phase in four groups of
three teams each, and the two top teams will move up to the next
round. In men’s, a double elimination system will be used.
The stadium has a seating capacity of 2,000 people and looks
spectacular in this coastal area of the state of Chiapas. The
temperatures range between 30 and 33 degrees Celsius.
The control committee, led by Arnaldo Sanchez and Indhira
Ramirez has completed the registration process and all teams
meet the eligibility requirements outlined by the NORCECA rule
book.
Puerto Arista hotels are at 100% capacity so it is anticipated
that the stadium will be at full capacity during the weekend
matches.
Larx Promotions, in charge of managing the event, is occupying
80 hotel rooms, including accommodations for athletes,
organizers, and the control committee.
For the third time, Puerto Arista is hosting one of the stops of
the NORCECA Beach Volleyball Circuit and anticipation has grown
since the first stop of the tour in this location. With that,
all is ready for the actions to kick off.
