The Tournament is the largest beach volleyball tournament anywhere, typically hosting several thousand amateur and professional players from around the world.
The tournament has mens and womens divisions, and is a weighted blind draw sand doubles volleyball tournament ("CBVA" rules). The blind part means players don't pick their own partners. The Tournament Committee is responsible for that. So, you can't enter the tournament as a team, only as an individual. We regret that requests for teaming up friends, relatives, etc are almost always rejected, so please don't be disappointed if we don't OK your request. The only exceptions typically are father/son or mother/daughter, but even then, it's not a guarantee and only at the Committee's discretion. There are more than a few father/son teams that could walk away with the tournament! Mens and womens courts are intermingled and share the same area of sand.ID Requirements for Visitors to Baja as of 2008 U.S. citizens: Photo ID is required, and (U.S. birth certificate or naturalization certificate), for re-entry to the United States.

Due to heightened security at the border, additional paperwork is required from visitors from some countries.
