Hopedale’s RCMP Volleyball Tournament Coming Right Up

The 34th Annual Hopedale Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Volleyball Tournament will be starting tomorrow evening at 6 pm.

There are 14 female teams and 10 male teams entered, with two divisions each.

The starting teams are required to be ready to start at 6 pm.

No times have been given for the games on the schedule.

Games will roll from one into the next. A 5 minute warm up time will be provided from the end of the last game. After 5 minutes, a forfeit will be entered for the team not ready to play.

Teams must have 4 players to start game the game. If neither team is ready, then neither team will be awarded the win.

It is the team’s responsibility to ensure that they follow the schedule and are present and ready to play.

The referee will wait only 5 minutes before calling a forfeit and moving on to the next game.

Women’s Games are starting at 6 pm at the Nanuk Centre with Nakkovik Team (mixed team) vs. what are You Gonna Do about It (Hopedale Team).

This year, ages 5 and up will have to pay a one dollar admission fee; this will go toward their church.

There will also be a canteen.

Anyone with questions can call the RCMP office.

OK Radio will have more information on the Tournament, including the results, next week.
