We play with the same rules as the Growler (with the exception that all participants must be age 50+). The basic rules are described below, but please also read the Growler rules for more information on these rules and eligibility rules: Growler Rules

• Spirit of the Growler is encouraged!
• Each team will need to designate a point person/captain
• Each team will play at least 4 games (likely 5)
• Each game will typically run 20-25 minutes
• Teams can consist of a minimum of 5 players
• Each team needs to have one (1) or more female players similar to the main Growler rules with that female in the regular player rotation and on the roster
• If there is no female in your player rotation, a team can play with 4 players and the opposing team will be spotted 5 points
• Each team needs to arrive 45 minutes prior to your first game start time
• No-show teams 5 minutes after slotted start time will be considered a loss
• Cannot add anyone to rotation after the game has begun even if you start with 4 players
• Games are 5v5, rally scoring to 21, switch sides at 11 points
• All games must be won by 2 points with no cap
• NO Mulligans this year
• For the semi-finals, the top two teams on each court will advance. The #1 team on Court 1 will play the #2 team from Court 2 and vice versa. The winners of the semi-final games will progress to the finals.
• The Championship game will be a single elimination game to 21
• No cap on the number of members of a team (all must register)

Each team has a designated tailgating spot close to the courts big enough for a tent. Additionally, each team will have one close-up vehicle parking space. Team tents and vehicles must be in place by 9:15 am. Parking opens at 8:30 am. Each team is encouraged to have a team uniform/costume. The most original team uniform/costume will earn their choice of serve/side in their first game. Spots will be judged no later than 9:45 am. Once the Greystone Swim and Racquet Club parking lot is full, additional parking will be available along Sawmill Road.

Registration is $60 (including a $2 online fee)/player — This player fee covers the volleyball registration fee, a Growler Masters t-shirt, food, and a wristband for beverages.

• Spectators are welcome! Adult wristbands will be for sale for $20 and include food and beer; child wristbands (under 12) will be for sale for $10.
• Lunch (BBQ cooked by the Knights of the Nights again this year) will be served starting between noon and 1pm.
• The “Pours for a Purpose” homebrewers will return this year! When sampling their creations, you can donate $1 per vote to vote for your favorite.
• The guest fee for the swimming pool is $5/person.
• All donations will go to St. Baldrick’s fight against childhood cancer.
• New this year! We will have a dunking booth ($5/3 throws). We will be getting each team to put at least one player in the booth during the day.
