The tournament staged by the Philippine Sports Commission thru its beach volleyball consultant Eric Lecain[3] and backed by the FIVB, AVC, POC and the local volleyball federation, the Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, Inc. (LVPI) was staged indoors at the PhilSports Arena. 300 m3 (11,000 cu ft) of sand from the Southwoods Golf Course was used for a beach volleyball court which was installed on top of the wooden floor of arena. This was to meet the international standard that calls for a court with sand at least 0.30 m (0.98 ft) thick.[2][4]

The opening ceremonies held last November 30 was well attended by PSC Chairman Richie Garcia, POC board members Cynthia Carrion and Julian Camacho, LVPI Vice President Peter Cayco and LVPI board members Jeff Tamayo, Ricky Palou and Tatz Suzara.

Participants

edit

14 regular teams (some of them are also playing in the 2016 Rio Olympic qualifiers) participated in the tournament. Canada, China, Poland and Switzerland were also invited but didn't confirm its participation. For the Philippine delegation, Lecain also considered to add the services of Alyssa Valdez and Jovelyn Gonzaga in one of the national teams but was not able to confirmed participation from the two.[5][6][7][8]
