The tournament that will grant two tickets each to the London 2012 Olympic Games for teams representing Cuba, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the US and the DR is underway in Boca Chica, 20 minutes from Santo Domingo. The tournament is being played using a country-vs-country format that includes five matches and a 15-point tiebreak set if necessary. Canada defeated the US (men) and Mexico (women) in the opening games.

The top-four teams in both men's and women's competition advance to next year's Continental Cup Final. The winners from the final qualify for the Olympics.

As of Friday, 22 April and running through 24 April, Boca Chica will also host the Tour Norceca, a beach volleyball tournament with the participation of 16 men and women teams. The tournament will grant tickets to the 2011 Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico.
