The Hague, the third-largest city in the Netherlands after Amsterdam and Rotterdam with a population of nearly 500,000, is the largest Dutch city on the North Sea and comprises two distinct beach towns. The main beach resort Scheveningen, in the northwestern part of the city, is a popular destination for tourists and young people with 10 million visitors a year. The Hague offers a unique blend of versatility, service and quality. The hotels, restaurants, bars and clubs make Scheveningen one of the best known trendy resorts on the North Sea. Kijkduin, on the other hand, is smaller and more situated to those who live at a slower pace. “h s e e t h v b e ci a t ce t an w g n rt no B a hV lya ah ts said Angelo Squeo, the FIVB T e e v ns a e e n ri lo rae e e eai f e c oe b l tl e , t c o l l e ” B a hV ly a E e t Drc r “ a few years, these players will challenge for SWATCH-FIVB World Tour medals and e c oe b l v ns i t .

By July 21, 2008, the FIVB will establish an Olympic Ranking based on the best eight performances of teams in recognized Olympic Qualification tournaments (SWATCH FIVB World Tour events, SWATCH FIVB World Championships, FIVB recognized Continental Championship Finals). China will automatically qualify at least one team as the host country with the top 23 teams from each gender qualifying for Beijing 2008, subject to a maximum of two teams per country. In order to respect the universality principle of the Olympic Games, if a continent does not have any teams qualified after the above procedure is applied, the 23rd place will be occupied by the highest-ranked eligible team from the continent in question. The FIVB confirmed the European Championship Finals in 2007 at Valencia, Spain (August 23-26) and 2008 in Hamburg, Germany (July 10-13) as part of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Qualification Process. Only the best finish from the two European Championships may be considered as one of the ta sbest eight performances. The 12,200-seat Chaoyang Park Beach Volleyball Ground will be the site for the 2008 e m’ competition. The volleyball ground contains 17,000 tons of fine sand imported from Hainan. Construction for the facility was started December 28, 2005 a dw s o l e fr n“ l i ts e e to w me August 2007. Practicing the n a c mp td o a Oy c e t v n fr o nin e mp ” concept of "Green Olympics," the beach volleyball event organizers had the previously existing workshops and industrial storerooms on the grounds converted into office space rather than having new offices built. A "sun-chasing" solar power generation system installed at the Chaoyang Park Beach Volleyball Ground will be the first such power generation system used at an Olympic venue. The sun-chasing mechanism controls a rotating battery that switches according to where the sun shines, thereby maximizing the amount of solar power collected. The completely automatic 11-kW sun-chasing solar power generation system measures 11 m high x 7 m wide, and the battery is capable of rotating 270 degrees. The system can generate 30% more power than the average solar power generation system. With a lifespan of more than 25 years, the system can generate 72,000 kWh per year, with an average of 200 kWh per day. Moreover, it is environmentalfriendly. As a solar energy power generation system, it produces 23.4 tons less carbon dioxide and 1.5 tons less sulfur dioxide emissions than regular generators.

Subsequently, the organization of a first Constitutive Congress was entrusted to the President of the French Volleyball Federation, Paul Libaud, and it took place in Paris April 18-20, 1947 with the participation of 14 Federations. The FIVB was born! Libaud was elected first President of the FIVB shortly afterwards and the headquarters were established in Paris, where they remained for the first 37 years until 1984. The first World Championships were organized in 1949 for men and in 1952 for women and have since remained the biggest event in Volleyball. In 1957 the International Olympic Committee (IOC) included Volleyball as a medal sport in the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo while Beach Volleyball made its Olympic debut at the 1996 Atlanta Games. A big turning point for the FIVB came in 1984 when President Libaud, by then in his late 70's and highly acclaimed for having founded the Federation and making it a significant reality on the world sports stage, resigned. Dr. Rubén Acosta Hernandez was elected new President to succeed him at the World Congress in Long Beach, California. The FIVB moved its headquarters to Lausanne, Switzerland the same year bringing it closer to the IOC. Immediately atr rA o t b c meV lya’ a a s d rthe promotion of the sport increased worldwide f D . cs ea e a oe b l mb sa o, l l s with competitions held in the five Confederations (Asia, Africa, Europe, South America and Norceca). BEACH VOLLEYBALL - Born in the depression days of the 1920s on the sandy beaches of Santa Monica, California, Beach Volleyball has become a multi million-dollar extravaganza and an Olympic sport that has captivated players in more than 90 countries. From those first matches, the game caught on 10 years later in France, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Latvia before slotting perfectly into the Californian lifestyle in the 1950s and the pulsating 1960s, taking its place alongside surfing. The United States and Brazil played a major role in transforming "Beach" into a professional sport in the1970s and 1980s, but it was the hard work of the FIVB President Dr. Rubén Acosta and Beach Volleyball stars such as Sinjin Smith, Karch Kiraly and Randy Stoklos that helped establish Beach Volleyball internationally in the 1980s and 1990s and become a full medal sport at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games. At the same time the FIVB Beach Volleyball International Circuit evolved from the World Series to the World Tour and exploded in popularity in Europe, Latin America and Asia. The 2004 and 2005 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour boasted more than 50 major events encompassing Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas with over US $12-million in prize money.                 1920s - The birth of Beach Volleyball on the California beaches of Santa Monica. 1947 - The first official two-man Beach Volleyball tournament held at State Beach in California with no prize money. 1948 - The first tournament with prizes was played at State Beach were the top teams were rewarded crates of Pepsi. 1974 - The first money tournament was held where the US$1,500 San Diego Open attracted 250 spectators. 1987 - The first FIVB international competition started called "The World Championship" in Rio de Janeiro.

From the beginning in 1989 of three legs of men's competition in Brazil, Italy and Japan involving 40 athletes from seven countries, the international Beach Volleyball Tour introduced women's play three years later before the world-wide circuit was revitalized and the World Championship Series was born in 1995. At that point legs and prize money stood at 17 and US$2.4-million, respectively, thus prompting the transformation into the now famous World Tour. The SWATCH-FIVB World Tour embraced 22 stops split between men and women in 2003 with over 700 athletes from more than 50 countries and a record prize money pool nearing US$5-million, including Grand Slam stops in Berlin, Marseille, Klagenfurt and Los Angeles.

In February, 1993, International Olympic mi R n y tk s n o n K rl h o s y i / ny e o i s bN t l Committee (IOC) President Juan Antonio Samarach, along with Atlanta Committee Olympic Games President Billy Payne and other IOC members attended the FIVB Beach Volleyball Finals in Rio de Janeiro. There they saw the excitement that the sport could generate as over 140,000 fans jammed the stadium for the one-week tournament. As a result, the most important event in the history of beach volleyball occurred on September 24, 1993. On that day, at the 101st IOC session in Monte Carlo, the sport of beach volleyball was admitted as a medal discipline for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. The sport had reached its Olympic era. ECO FRIENDLY BEACH VOLLEYBALL! - The FIVB and Global Sports Alliance have joined forces for the third year to help raise environment awareness through sport. The ecoflag symbolizes the commitment to the environment of sportslovers and everyone who knows the importance and irreplaceable nature of the water, air and greenery that surrounds us. The SWATCH-FIVB World Tour event in Gstaad, Switzerland is setting the example by players using bicycles for local transport in the picturesque alpine town! Hop, Step and Jump to a better environment GSA's, approach to the environmental problem is unique and practical:    First (Hop) is promoting awareness through the Ecoflag. "We can enjoy volleyball because of clean air and water, thus the environment. Let's make sure that we keep the environment clean for future generations." Second (Step) is promoting the spontaneous actions on the environment. The GSA has introduced advanced initiatives on sports and environmental issues, such as asking sport fans to take spontaneous actions on the environment. They make this introduction through the 2003 Global Forum for Sports and Environment in Tokyo where FIVB president Dr. Rubén Acosta received the Prince Takamondo Memorial Prize for environmental excellence. Third (Jump) is spreading this awareness and actions to the 1 billion sport enthusiasts around the world.

The two teams of two players each must score points by placing the ball over (without touching) the net and into the opponent's court. The ball can touch any part of the body and each team has three alternate hits between the two players to return the ball. Other rules are:  Except for the World Championships, each tournament for each gender features a single-elimination qualifier and a 32-team double-elimination Main Draw. The World Championships will feature a 48-team Main Draw for each gender with pool play determining the lineup for the 32-team single-elimination draw.  The match is won by the team that wins two sets.  A set is won by the team that scores 21 points first with a minimum margin of two (except in the deciding third set). In the case of a 20-20 tie, play is continued until a two-point lead is reached. In the case of the sets being tied 1-1, the deciding set is played to 15 points (not the usual 21) with a minimum lead of two points.  A team winning a rally scores a point - The Rally Point System.  The serving player must be alternated every time there is a change in possession.  There are NO determined positions on the court.  Two players can touch the ball at the same time, but when two team mates do, it counts as two hits (except if blocking).  If there is a"held ball" by two opponents over the net it is not considered a fault.  A player may enter the opponent's court provided they don't interfere with the opponent's play.  A player cannot catch or throw the ball.

A majority of the facts and figures in the 2008 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour Media Guide has been compiled and produced by Wagner, who owns, operates and maintaines www.bvbinfo.com. At the end of the 2007 season, www.bvbinfo.com had 1,782 tournaments (1103 men's, 679 women's) dating back to 1948 from the FIVB, CEV, Olympic Games, Pan Am Games, Goodwill Games, and United States domestic tours. This includes 8,526 players (5,067 men and 3,459 women) with 5,062 (59.3%) birth dates, 2,179 (25.6%) photographs. It also includes 49,399 team finishes and 35,756 match results. Born September 1, 1964 in Chesapeake , Va., Wagner attended school in the Norfolk-area and graduated from Old Dominion University in 1987 (B.S. Electrical Engineering) and 1992 (Master of Computer Engineering). He is currently a web application developer/integrator with GoldKey Resorts/Professional Hospitality Resources. He and wife, Lisa, have a 15 -year-old daughter Elizabeth, and a 12 -year-old son, Dennis. Wagner played volleyball in school, but his interest soared in 1984, when the United States won Olympic gold in men's volleyball. He started playing again and fell in love with the sport. To some, he is better known as "Dr. Ono," a name that serves as his e-mail address and license plate. In the early '70s, Wagner was a fan of Wacky Packages, stickers that made fun of everyday products. In the '90s, he operated a Web site that bought and traded the collectible stickers. He needed a nickname relevant to the business, so he chose the name from "Dr. Ono's crackpot Brain Opener," a parody of Drano drain cleaner.
