RAINSVILLE, Ala. — Rainsville Technology, Inc. (RTI) will host the 4th annual RTI Charity Mud Volleyball Tournament this Saturday, May 28 to raise money for the Toys for Tots organization.
Tournament play will begin at 9 a.m. and all team members must be registered and signed in by 8:45am. Last year’s event brought out a strong crowd of spectators. Event organizers urge the community to come out and support the event and enjoy the tournament.
The tournament will be double elimination with each game scoring to 15 points. The co-ed event requires two females to be on court for each team at all times. Referees will be provided by the Plainview Volleyball Team.
Last year 11 teams competed in the tournament and the event raised more than $1,000 for ARC of DeKalb County.
The Haynes family from the town of Section stole the show in 2015, with so many family members participating in the event they had to split into two teams. Even more impressive, the Haynes teams ended up taking first and second place after winning their respective sides of the tournament bracket and facing off in a very competitive final championship match.
At the end of the day, the Section Undertakers defeated the Squad to become the 2015 RTI Mud Volleyball Tournament Champions.
