Volleyball Tournament
Number of pages: 11
, Introduction & Objective
Volleyball is a popular sport amongst all nations that unites people from all
over the world. I am planning on visiting Barcelona this year, a city filled with beach
volleyball enthusiasts, and I for one love the sport. Thus, I was planning on
participating in a beach volleyball tournament this year. However, the weather
there can get pretty extreme, which greatly affects the quality of the game. I
decided to create an investigation with the goal to find the ideal time to attend a
tournament in order to maximize my chances of winning and playing a fair game. I
will do so by analyzing the varying temperatures and hours of sunlight throughout
the year in Barcelona.
Personally, I believe the ideal climate to play a game with would be a
temperature over 24℃ but below 35℃ so that it is warm enough to play but not to
the extent where I would overheat. In addition, I would want the length of the day
to be maximized so that I can play for a long period of time before the sunset.
Hypothesis
I hypothesize that the ideal time to participate in a tournament is in the
middle of September because I believe that it is still warm but only to an extent that
feels comfortable. Since September is only one month apart from August, I expect
the hours of daylight to still be relatively long.
