Smart AVC Nuvali unfolds

MANILA, Philippines —  Eight matches will usher in the main draw of the Smart Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) Nuvali Open with the organizing Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF) adding premium on concerns about the intense summer heat.

The matches involving 46 squads from seven Asia-Oceania countries will be determined after the preliminary inquiry scheduled late last night in a general meeting ahead of the four-day event at the world-class Nuvali Sand Courts in the City of Santa Rosa.

The matches start at 8 a.m. with tickets available at www.ticketmax.ph where beach volleyball fans could avail themselves of the P220 day pass.

There will be no matches in between 12 noon and 2 p.m., according to event director Antonio Carlos Jr., who added that it will be an onsite decision for the AVC technical delegate Thomas Chang (Hongkong) and referee delegate Jayaraman Srinivasan (India) in the event of a temperature surge.
