The Michelob Light Open at Santa Barbara, presented by Paul Mitchell, begins Friday at 9 a.m. (PDT) on eleven sand courts at East Beach. Friday's competition will feature two Qualification Tournaments with 40 men's and 20 women's teams battling for the final four berths in the 32-team men's and 24-team women's Main Draws.

The first 88 Main Draw matches (52 for men and 36 for women) will be played Saturday starting at 9 a.m. Sunday's competition starts at 7:30 a.m. with the final 20 matches being played (10 for men and 10 for women). The final matches will begin approximately at 1 p.m. Sunday with the final two teams in each gender battling for the $14,000 first-place prize. Echo Entertainment of Studio City, Calif., will be taping the Michelob Light Open at Santa Barbara action for broadcast August 27 on FOX Sports Net.

With only one "major" partnership change in the women's competition, the men's lineup features several "new" competitions for The Michelob Light Open at Santa Barbara. Dianne DeNecochea, who teamed with Wendy Stammer to place fourth in the last AVP women's event in Muskegon, Mich. (July 15), will be playing with Liz Masakayan this weekend.

Dain Blanton and Eric Fonoimoana, who teamed to win the Gold Medal for the United States at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, will be playing with different partners this weekend. Blanton will play for the first time with Carl Henkel this weekend on East Beach. Fonoimoana and Rob Heidger, a pair of UC-Santa Barbara graduates, join forces for the first time since competing in 14 events together during the 1995 and 1996 seasons.

With Henkel teaming with Blanton, Sinjin Smith will play George Romaine, who is competing in his first-ever-pro beach event after competing the last four years with the USA National Team. Chip McCaw, who placed fourth with Heidger at the recently completed FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships, is now paired with Colin Wellman. Like Romaine, McCaw competed in the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games with Team USA.

Saturday's play will also mark the return to pro beach competition for Karch Kiraly, who will be competing with former 1995 partner Scott Ayakatubby. Kiraly dislocated his right shoulder last year in an August international event in Belgium where he and Adam Johnson were trying for a spot in the Sydney Olympics that was captured by Blanton and Fonoimoana.

Kiraly, who has won a record 142 titles and earned over $2.953-million on the beach, was expected to return to the AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour in June. He withdrew from the first two events this season due to a calf injury. A Santa Barbara prep product, Kiraly was recognized last December by the FIVB as the beach volleyball player of the century. Kiraly and Ayakatubby played in 14 events in 1995 with eight titles and 13 "final four" finishes on the AVP Tour.

Santa Barbara's Dax Holdren and Todd Rogers will be the top-seeded team in the 68-team men's field. The pair has won two domestic titles this season in Clearwater Beach, Fla., and Hermosa Beach, Calif., where they defeated Blanton and Fonoimoana in the finals. Holdren and Rogers placed fifth in the FIVB World Championships early this month were they were eliminated by eventual champions Mariano Baracetti and Martin Conde of Argentina.

Other top men's teams entered in The Michelob Light Open at Santa Barbara include Canyon Ceman/Mike Whitmarsh, Brent Doble/Lee LeGrande and Aaron Boss/Collin Smith. Doble and LeGrande won the Muskegon and Belmar (N. J.) events. Boss and Smith "surprised" the Virginia Beach (Va.) field to net their first pro beach volleyball title in the last AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour event.

The teams of Lisa Arce/Holly McPeak, Barbra Fontana/Elaine Youngs, Nancy Mason/Leanne Schuster and Linda Hanley/Sarah Straton are the top tandems in the women's Santa Barbara competition. Arce and McPeak defeated Fontana and Youngs in the Hermosa Beach finale. Hanley and Straton captured the Muskegon title by upsetting Arce and McPeak in the finals. Mason and Schuster placed third in the first two domestic events this season.
