How to Run a Spikeball / Roundnet Event in Colorado

Running a spikeball event in Colorado? Here's how to plan it, pick a format and run it on Colorado Under Par, start to finish.

What it looks like

Roundnet events in Colorado are friendly tournaments and meetups in parks, campuses and festivals, mostly spring through fall, with young adults and families.

Formats

Doubles (2v2)

Two teams of two hit the ball onto a small round net, with up to three touches per side.

Round Robin + Bracket

Teams play every team in their pool, then top teams advance to a knockout bracket to decide the champion.

King of the Court

Teams rotate on and off a net, with winners staying on and earning points.

Singles (1v1)

One player against another, often on a smaller playing area and with adjusted rules.

Team Event

Groups of several players compete as a team in a series of doubles matches.

League

Teams meet weekly to play scheduled matches with standings over a season.

Longest Rally Challenge

Teams see how many hits they can keep going without a miss. The crowd counts out loud, and the longest rally wins a prize.
