No Canopies Please
The City of Rehoboth Beach, in a change from past tournaments, is not giving our tournament an exception to the "No canopy" policy. This means that canopies, pop-ups, tents, etc. will not be allowed on the beach.
From the City of Rehoboth Beach Website, March 2017:
The new law defines an acceptable beach umbrella as having “…a circular shade no greater than 8 feet in diameter.” In the law, an umbrella is also defined as “…a collapsible circular shade stretched over hinged ribs radiating from a central pole no greater than 7 feet 6 inches in height, and without grounding lines, ropes, or sides are permitted on the beach.” Baby tents up to 36" high x 36" wide x 36" deep may be used to shade infants and small children. This means that, with the exception of umbrellas and baby tents, tarps, cabanas, pavilions, tents, sport-brellas or any material mounted on supports are prohibited from being placed on the beach.
MAV must comply with City policy as we are a guest on their beach. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
